Healthy work life integration
Working women often struggle to maintain a healthy balance between their work life and personal life. Stress is caused by taking on too many responsibilities and not having enough downtime. It is important to find ways to integrate work and personal commitments instead of viewing them as separate spheres. Techniques for maintaining balance include setting boundaries, dropping unnecessary commitments, prioritizing self-care activities like exercise and hobbies, building a support system, and learning to say no. Both short-term goals and long-term life priorities should be considered when making choices about how to spend time and energy.
