5 Simple Steps for Building a Better Work-Life Balance

1. Prioritize 

It can be easy to waste time doing mindless tasks and leave important work to be done at the last minute. This can add lots of undue stress! Make a schedule and use time-tracking tools to set aside blocks of time dedicated to working, friends, social life, etc. More importantly, stick to it

2. Limit Electronics 

Working from home or always having a smartphone handy can make you feel like you’re constantly at work. Instead, resist looking at your phone to check work e-mails during non-work hours. Consider avoiding screen time on your computer before bed. Enjoy the moment with your friends and family. 

3. Exercise 

Exercise has been shown to help reduce tension, boost feel-good endorphins, and help you relax and unwind. Don’t let a busy schedule stop you from exercising. Set aside a minimum of 30 minutes daily for exercise to reap the many stress-reducing benefits. 

4. Stop Putting Pressure on Yourself 

Those with perfectionistic tendencies may feel they have to put pressure on themselves to consistently excel at work. Know that you are deserving of love even if you’re not perfect at work, and practice positive affirmations to do so! 

5. Practice More Self-Care 

Find time to fit enjoyable activities into your day. Whether it is a spa, gardening, or yoga, practicing self-care decreases stress and makes you a priority!

"We have an incredible safety record; no OSHA recordables for the 6 years I’ve been here and I attribute that to Axiom’s involvement.

The nurses are so wonderful and so attuned to the Employees and help them return to work safely after an injury. They listen very well and the education is the most important. Our employees and managers love them.

Thank you for all that you do."
