✨“Save the day” - Tackle Burnout through this TikTok Trend

Do you struggle to reclaim your day? Is it possible to “save” a busy and stressful day with small moves?

Save the day trend could help you strike a work life balance. Saving the day is committing to do one activity, every day, solely for yourself. It’s a way to help you reclaim the day after finishing dull, boring tasks at work. This helps to prevent burnout, encourage selfcare, boost creativity and connect with your authentic self.

How to start "saving the day" -

👉 Create meaningful intent

👉 Set the stage and form healthy boundaries

👉 Start small with 5-10 minutes of things you enjoy

👉 Prioritize your interests and hobbies

👉 Reflect and adjust what works for you

📈STAT

Nearly one-fourth (23%) of HR pros said employees quit because of work-life balance. (National Association of Plan Advisors).

When employees feel overwhelmed or unable to balance their professional and personal lives, they’re more likely to seek new opportunities that better accommodate their needs. This underscores the importance for organizations to implement flexible policies, create a culture of wellbeing and provide support systems that help employees manage their workloads and personal responsibilities effectively.
