Keep a “Still Me” List
Your workplace may shape your day, but it doesn't get to define who you are. Keep five reminders of what is still true about you.
Create a Work-to-Home Doorway
Work can follow us home through unfinished tasks, difficult conversations, stress, and overthinking. Creating a simple work-to-home doorway can help you intentionally decide what stays with the workday and what deserves to come home with you.
Stop Using the Best Day as Evidence
A good day deserves to be enjoyed, but it shouldn't automatically erase an unhealthy pattern. Learn to look beyond individual good or bad days and consider what your environment has consistently been showing you over time.
Give Yourself a No-Explanation No
Saying no doesn't always require a long explanation. Learn to recognize when you're over-explaining your boundaries and practice communicating your decisions respectfully without feeling responsible for convincing someone else to accept them.
Do a Peace Comparison
How different do you feel when you're at work compared with when you're away? A Peace Comparison helps you notice changes in your body, mood, energy, and thoughts so you can recognize patterns you may have stopped noticing.
Check Your After-Work Self
What happens to you after the workday ends? Sometimes the clearest sign of how work is affecting your well-being shows up after you leave. Take a moment to notice what you're carrying home and whether work is taking more of your evening than you realize.
