‘Work-life balance’ is a phrase that we hear on a daily basis. It’s something that we all want to experience, but most of us never achieve. More often than not, we grasp at external things in the hope that perhaps a new mobile phone, less working hours or higher pay will magically create the extra time we need to do the things that we would prefer to be doing. And then, when we do create that extra time, why does it fill up so quickly with even more stuff?
What is ‘work-life balance’? What does balance really mean, and how would we recognise it when it appears? This skills-based PD workshop for teachers explores the phenomenon of physiological and psychological balance, and introduces simple techniques for bringing REAL balance into our lives. You’ll learn how to:
Recognise the presence of balance in both body and mind
Balance the hemispheres of the brain using simple breathing techniques and physical movements,
integrate the techniques into everyday life, and
Feel more balanced throughout your day, even in ‘stressful’ situations.
Workshop materials include session notes and an mp3 of the breath and brain balancing techniques practiced during the session, ideal for downloading straight onto your iPod, computer or phone.
Master Your Mind is a unique group training program for building stress resilience and enhancing your workplace performance. Resilience workshops are also available in workplaces around Australia.
