Allostatic load looks at the way we move from In Crisis to Excelling!

INTRODUCTION

Balance is successfully prioritizing and maintaining work and life both emotionally and mentally. Staying balanced in life though challenging is attainable through focused attention practices that are essential for thriving in any environment. We hear about work life balance a lot. But balance is more than just our day job and when we get home. It's balance between meetings. A balance of meetings. How many do we have in a day versus how much down time do we have to focus.

Most of us spend 80% of our waking day in a mind wandering state. Versus a focused mindset. When we're in a mind wandering state this causes us to be stressed and imbalanced. So, finding balance throughout our working hours is vital to us lowering our stress in the workplace.

Something to also consider, is that we don't all work the same. Some of us are morning people, while others of us are afternoon or evening people. What this means for the workplace and balancing out tasks and meetings, is that some of us will thrive in certain conditions. While we can't make everyone happy in the workplace, we can strive to consider our teammates. And if there are opportunities to be considerate and accommodate what works best for certain people, while understanding that retention and engagement is a team sport. This will help us to have a more well-rounded culture that considers balance in many ways.
