"Working very hard and only getting relief when you go on vacation is a failing model," says Dr. Waguih William IsHak, vice chair of the Cedars-Sinai Department of Psychiatry. "What happens is that people live very stressful lives, disconnect from that stress when they go on vacation, but resume the cycle when they get back to work.

That's not the way to do it." "Even missing one year's vacation seems to be associated with an increased risk of heart attack." Balancing work love and play Instead, Dr. IsHak recommends an ongoing balance between three main activities: work, love, and play. Work may be your job, volunteer activities, or commitments as a student or a homemaker.

There is not necessarily a purpose other than having fun." "Then you have love, which are intimate relationships, family relationships, friendships, and even simple moments of connection with other people. That's all in the realm of love," Dr. IsHak says.

It doesn't matter what it is. The key is balancing those three main categories—work, love, and play—throughout the year." Because time is our most significant asset, finding work-life balance depends on the decisions we make every day.

You can think about changes you'd like to make." But Dr. IsHak says these kinds of vacations serve as play that only partially balances the hard work during the rest of the year. "Stress is clearly linked to increased risk of heart disease and heart attack." Balance also needs to happen each month as we make time to nurture our relationships and schedule play activities.

Despite our long hours on the job, are we seeing our loved ones and making relationship connections? Are we using our days away from work to create time for activities based on play instead of constantly working?" We should even find daily balance by including the relationship realm or play during work hours.

Changes in appetite Diet is also responsive to stress. When we fall out of balance and start feeling stressed, our appetite can swing one way or the other and we may seek out sugary/salty comfort foods or experience the opposite and lose all food cravings. If eating becomes one of the few sources of comfort during a stressful day at work, that can lead to long-term health consequences, including obesity.
