I also tell myself the following: "Work is part of life, not life itself, so don't become controlled by it"
I read a book called "The Power of Habit - Why do we do what we do and how to change", it's a nice read, it gives really nice insight into how habits work and how to create them...
Thank you for your reply! I feel you :( I have been in your shoes, and understand how it's challenging to find a balance to live a happy life.
Love this book too! Habit: I see CUE, I will do ROUTINE to get a REWARD 🙌
Great article. :) I strongly agree with "Take care of your body" part. :) When I feel like dying when working remotely, I have the kettlebell pretty close to my desk. Doing just 1-2 series of snatches and swings for 90 seconds brings me back to life and work. :)
Thank you 🙂 Agree! Indulging yourself in some physical activity will make you more active and fitter.
