What are these? Well, here they are in order of importance:
Faith/Mindfulness
Family/Friends
Fitness
Function
Fun
In this episode, we will discuss the first element, which we put as the first importance: faith, mindfulness, and spirituality.
Science says that mental health and spirituality are fundamental to human functioning. How we see the world is very much dependent on our value set.
Almost everybody had a faith framework around 20 to 30 years ago; half the Western world didn’t. Now, we have questions regarding our value set or mindset.
How do you see the world and recharge mentally? We think this is your rutter, setting your why and purpose and making sense of who you are.
Saarrah has observed that failing to prioritise the initial three aspects significantly influences her productivity and leisure. Previously, she primarily focused on her professional responsibilities (function), but she noticed the consequential effects (ripple effects) on the other four areas over time.
However, she adapted her approach through marvinHR sprints, realising the importance of balance. Notably, she found that skipping church on Sunday would directly correlate with a diminished presence and focus at the beginning of the workweek.
Nick makes a good point. For the fun element, if you don’t have a structured view of how you spend your break outside of work, you will spend your life watching Netflix and drinking wine. Few people can answer what part of the day you have to yourself other than the shower.
So in conclusion, you take the fives out of balance, everything falls apart.
