Achieving Work Life Balance
This past year has brought a lot of changes to our daily lives. We've had to adapt to new situations, from working remotely to home-schooling—keeping balance and harmony was a challenge.
Back to work and school considerations are moving to the forefront for many of us as September approaches. With kids returning to in-class learning and work places slowly reopening, this is the perfect opportunity to re-invigorate familiar patterns or establish new routines, prioritize self-care to stay grounded, and keep work-life balance in mind. This video series from LifeSpeak will help you meet the demands of home and work in order to feel healthier and strengthen your personal and working relationships. The video series is also offered in French. Log in using the Group Account option. The password is "wellness".
UCRDstore.ca has spiritual and mental wellness resources to help you achieve a work-life balance. Sanctuary: Creating a Space for Grace in Your Life and Sacred Rest both describe the benefit of breaking away from the culture of 24/7 productivity to restore our spiritual and mental health.
