Disconnecting From Work

Written by YMCA WorkWell Team | Sep 11, 2024 5:45:30 PM
In our "always on" culture, it can be hard to leave work behind when we leave our workplace, yet it is vitally important that we do so. We all need to rest and recharge, but how can we do that when our mind is spinning with worry about our to-do list, who is going to call in sick the next day, and the many other concerns we have? In this workshop, we'll talk about practical strategies to help us set healthy boundaries and truly disconnect.
 
Learning Outcomes
  • Apply locus of control to understand what we have control over, what we can influence, and what we cannot control
  • Apply mindfulness to identify our internal narratives and learn from our thought and emotional patterns
  • Identify the roles of self-care and social support in disconnecting
  • Apply knowledge of how our brains process stress to develop strategies for disconnecting
