Support Your Well-Being At Work
It’s easier to put all the responsibility of not getting enough time from work or not being able to create a work-life balance in your workplace. And, to an extent it is true.
But, your well-being is your responsibility.
You need to create strategies or find ways to support yourself at work. And, if required take assistance from your colleagues, manager, or management.
Here are a few ways to support your well-being at work
Everyone appreciates a multitasker as they seem so efficient from the outside. But, in the long run, on the inside, multitasking can negatively impact your mental health.
Also, according to research, multitasking makes you less productive.
You may be amazing at your work, but if you feel stuck on something, make sure you ask for support.
Be open to taking help and offering help. Sharing ideas, opinions, struggles, and accomplishments can help you overcome challenges.
If you are struggling with your finances it will somehow reflect on your daily work and life. Lost focus, low productivity, more stress.
Keep your finances in check and if needed seek guidance.
It’s easier to give in to distractions when you are loaded with work. Your mind finds ways to procrastinate or avoid getting started till the deadline is looming over you.
Train your mind to be in the now as it allows you to pause and focus increasing your creativity and productivity.

Most of us do not eat right. It may be due to time constraints, eating outside food, or any other reasons. Eating healthy isn’t always our priority.
Switching to a healthier lifestyle requires effort and eating healthy at the workplace requires more so. Make sure you switch to healthy snack options, consume less sugary foods, and eat more seasonal fruits and vegetables.
Most of us avoid drinking water because we don’t wish to use the restroom. Or some don’t drink until they feel thirsty.
Your body needs a good amount of water to function well. Set a timer that reminds you to drink up or get a bottle that shows how many liters you are drinking.
There are times when we get so involved in supporting ourselves and our careers that we forget we are on the same team.
Be mindful and responsible of the shared goals, surroundings, diverse cultures, and ethics.
It might be easier for you to stay back and finish the work, but it might be different for your colleague.
It’s good to set boundaries, be it for professional or personal life. And, it’s important to respect them.
Yes, you are busy and have a lot of work. But the work isn’t going to go away until you finish it for the day.
You need to know when to take a break or when to just give in. Understand what works for you in that present situation and adapt accordingly.
These are basic things that all of us know but it is only when we implement them in our everyday work life that we see positive results.
Like your work, your health, your relationships, your well-being is also your responsibility.
