Work life balance isn't just about when we work and when we don't; it's also about how much mental space work occupies whether we are actively working or not.

Here are 3 ways to reset after work so you can truly unwind: emotional release, active relaxation, and distraction. Click the link in our bio to read more.

Work-life balance isn’t only about how we schedule our time — it’s about the energy and mental real estate that work occupies.
