Even the things we care about most can overwhelm us if we’re not careful. Here are a few simple ways to keep your passions healthy, positive, and harmonious:
🌿 Restore Balance
After a big push to reach a milestone, take time to rebalance.
Come back to the other things you love, return to your usual routine, and reconnect with who you are when life feels steady and harmonious.
🌈 Cultivate Alternative Passions
Having more than one passion helps prevent any single one from taking over.
What’s something you’d love to do just because it brings you joy?
What lights you up outside of work?
🛑 Set Boundaries
Protect your wellbeing.
Avoid bringing work home where you can.
Leave your laptop at work, and limit checking emails at night or during holidays.
You deserve a real break.
