The Trouble with Wellbeing

On this episode

Juggling endless demands while also striving to improve our wellbeing is a recipe for overwhelm. We know what we need to do to stay healthy, but we just don’t have the time or energy to make it happen. That’s when burnout sets in.

And it won’t be solved by more wellbeing activities. Instead, we need to change the way we think about our work and how we approach priorities, to focus on what truly matters, and to sett boundaries. When we do that, we can reclaim our energy and start to thrive both in work and life.

Adding more out-of-hours webinars won’t solve this, and those initiatives risk keeping people stuck in a cycle of stress and exhaustion, because there’s never the time to implement the things they suggest.

Instead, we need to look at our to-do lists and decide what’s truly important. Choose one thing to prioritise today and let go of something that isn’t essential. Practice saying no to tasks that don’t align with your priorities. Small steps like this can help you get closer to your one wild and precious life.
