The Balancing Act - Practical Tips for Achieving Work-Life Balance with Tarnya Davis
Another incredible event! Our committee put together an insightful event featuring the esteemed Tarnya Davis from NewPsych Psychologists.
We felt as though the topic, "The Balancing Act - Practical Tips for Achieving Work-Life Balance," would be extremely beneficial and relevant to our community.
Our Key Takeaways:
Self-Care is essential
Tarnya reminded us that self-care isn't a luxury—it's a necessity. Simple acts like hitting the gym, enjoying a hobby and having connection with others can significantly impact our overall well-being and productivity.
Establish Clear Boundaries
Setting and maintaining boundaries between work and personal life is crucial. Tarnya emphasised the importance of being aware of the load we are carrying and giving thought to this. Saying no and setting boundaries will allow us to fully engage in more fulfilling activities.
Noticing Time Confetti
Effective time management is a game-changer. We discussed the importance of considering what you are saying yes to and how important it is to recognise how much time confetti you are using. By understanding where your time is spent and how to allocate it, you are more likely to establish a greater sense of wellbeing. In return, you can prioritise what’s important to you and reduce overall stress.
Seek and Offer Support
During challenging times, seeking support from family, friends, or professionals can make a significant difference. Tarnya highlighted that asking for help is a sign of strength, and we should also be willing to support others in their times of need.
Flexibility and Adaptability
Life is unpredictable, and being flexible can help us navigate through unexpected challenges. Tarnya advised embracing change and adjusting our plans as needed to maintain a healthy balance. It is just as important to show self-compassion in these times of hardship and be realistic.
