Why Health and Wellness is Important in a Busy Society

Being unreasonably busy can have long term effects like stress, hypertension, cardiac issues, depression and other health related ailments. In order to mitigate these, it is advisable to take a break now and then, deliberately disconnect from the digital deadlines we face. It may seem like you’re giving up career opportunities when you go away for 2 weeks, but weigh that against feeling healthier in 10 years than your colleagues… which one will you go for?

It goes without saying that society today can be stressful to navigate. There are bills to pay, loved ones to care for, a career to build and somehow in the midst of all this, you need to figure out your own life too. In order to decrease stress, you can follow mindfulness training like yoga, tai chi and other meditative activities that will help you harness your energies and focus your mind.

Workplace burnout is a serious issue today. In order to last longer at one job and also have a longer life span, we need to be mindful of our health and well-being. There is a lot of research out that the best health and wellness vacations, even if taken sporadically, will re-energize a tired corporate employee.

It’s not enough to be productive however; you also need to be efficient in order to gain the maximum benefit out of any action for yourself. For instance, you may be able to finish your daily quota of work in the allocated 8 hours, but if you are more efficient you can complete work allocated for tomorrow as well and so on until on the last day of the week, you can leave work early with all your responsibilities fulfilled.

Society today is such that it depends a lot on the economy of that country and most countries have a consumerist economy where your overall standard of living depends on how much money you can spend. This means, you need to be at the top of your game mentally and physically in order to make that money. Good health is key to productivity.
