“Balance is not something you find, it’s something you create” – Jana Kingsford
For many, life may never be perfectly balanced. However, we can make things easier by being open to change. As we deal with the challenges of everyday life, prioritising our wellbeing while juggling our responsibilities is one of the most important things we can do.
Many individuals are adopting creative solutions to reclaim their time. For some, this means scheduling specific hours for work tasks and fully engaging in family activities or personal hobbies during the off-hours. Others are turning to technology, using apps to track their time and prioritise tasks effectively.
Support from the community is very important. Local groups are starting to provide workshops that help people learn how to handle stress and manage their time better. There are also programs for working families, like shared childcare options and flexible work hours, which are becoming more popular and are making life a little easier for everyone.
Balancing life isn’t just about managing time; it’s about understanding one’s needs. Mindfulness and self-care are essential for our overall well-being. Even just a brief pause for meditation or a quick walk can help clear our minds and boost our concentration.
The Burdekin Neighbourhood Centre has social groups that meet there and offer a break from routine or the opportunity to learn new skills or hobbies. We also host information sessions or workshops to assist individuals to prioritise their wellbeing.
In collaboration with Cores Queensland, we offer a self-care workshop. The next workshop is:
