Work-life balance is key to maintaining a healthy level of mental strength. Work-related stress is a major cause of mental health problems in the UK as our demanding work culture, 9 to 5, the rat race and the hustle and bustle continue to take their toll on the population. The Mental Health Foundation estimates that one in six of us will experience a mental health problem in any given weeks, with 10.4million working days being lost per year due to work-related stress.

Work-life balance describes the balance that an individual needs between time allocated for work and other aspects of life. You’ve also probably heard of people who don’t take their work home; having a work-life balance is a massive reason for this.

Combining a mastery of work-life balance with cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) will allow you to elevate your mental health to its peak. CBT remains the most widely used evidence-based practice for improving mental health in the world, so the combination of the two will help you to maintain a perfect work-life balance, no matter what profession you’re in.
