Nationwide Clinics Staff answered 8 years ago Hello,
I can understand that this is a difficult problem. On one hand you have your professional commitments and on the other your personal life. Few things that I could advice:
- Try to get at least 15mins of ‘me’ time where you could do things that you like be it reading or listening to music
- Try not to get work home.
- At work take the stairs and park your vehicle away from your basement lift there by getting a short walk.
- Give at least 15 mins of time for talk with your child and another 15 mins for your spouse.
- Eat 2-3 portions of fruit everyday
- listen to soft soothing music or do progressive relaxation when going to bed.
- Meet your family physician regularly for physical check up and annual health check if you are above 30 years of age.
- if work is causing too much stress talk to a counsellor.
