Work-Life Balance

Identifying Work-Life Balance

Most people cite work as a main factor in their mental health and remote work has blurred the boundaries between home and office for many. We’re not even bringing work stress home any longer, it’s often starting at home. Is your bedroom now associated with work stress?  Do you get anxious or resentful when you think about being available to your co-workers in the evenings? Or are you struggling with wanting to feel more fulfilled, wherever you do you work?

If any of this sounds like you, please read on for things to consider and how we might help.

Finding the Balance You Need

Working from home has also shifted the natural cadence of many relationships that may have worked well by having some separation during the day. It has challenged identities and roles for better and worse. While a flexible work schedule often brings more satisfaction, the loss of community at work has been challenging and isolating for many.

A common complaint we hear is that work is not fulfilling. Does your work give you some purpose and meaning? Or does it afford you enough time or money to pursue the things outside of work that you really value? Perhaps you’ve achieved personal success or made the money you always imagined would help you feel great, but it’s not really working and you still feel empty. A challenge for many New Yorkers is the emphasis put on being the ‘best’ at anything and everything. It can bring constant comparisons to others’ lives, but where does it end?

If you struggle with any of these questions, we can help you dig in to begin to explore and navigate them. Identifying what really matters in your life and then understanding how work fits into your values can be a great place to start. We want to be curious with you about what may really be fulfilling or sustaining. We can help you figure out what’s getting in the way of having the best relationship to work you can, and living fully and authentically in and out of your career.
