#69: How to Create a Healthier Relationship with Work

WELCOME BACK!!! Does stress, self-doubt, or anxiety over work constantly follow you home? If yes, you might be too emotionally invested in your job.

When every piece of feedback feels personal, and every mistake shakes your confidence, it’s time to rethink your relationship with work.

Care deeply, but don’t lose yourself in the process. Your worth is greater than any job you do. - D. Dhyani

Breaking free from emotional overinvestment doesn’t mean disengaging—it means setting boundaries. Let's look at some strategies for a balanced approach:

? Recognize Triggers: Identify what sparks emotional reactions to gain control over your responses.

? Shift Your Mindset: Your job is part of you, not your entire identity.

? Reframe Feedback: See criticism as growth, not personal failure.

? Develop Resilience: Mistakes are lessons, not setbacks.

? Cultivate Emotional Detachment: Stay engaged while protecting your well-being.

? Practice Mindfulness: Stay present and manage stress effectively.

? Build a Life Beyond Work: Hobbies and relationships give perspective.

Your job should challenge you, not consume you.

The real question is—who are you outside of work? If your identity feels tied to your job title, it’s time to redefine success on your own terms. Balance isn’t about doing less—it’s about living more.
