At stake are potentially millions or even billions of\ndollars of assets, and many people\u2019s lives depend on how well money is managed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years, the industry has become even more stressful\nwith corporate layoffs and increasing organizational and client expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what\u2019s a career driven professional to do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To move ahead in your career and continue to grow your\nbusiness, sometimes it\u2019s necessary to take a break and recharge your batteries.\nA break can be long (a vacation) or short (a 10 minute walk outside) and\ndoesn\u2019t necessarily require a big commitment of time. Some of our best insights\ncan actually be discovered when we\u2019re not focusing on the task at hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Live a\nBalanced Lifestyle on Weekends<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Your week is extremely demanding so take a break on\nweekends and treat yourself. Sleep in and enjoy an extended breakfast. Go for a\nwalk and explore nature. Parties are great, but if you\u2019re partying every\nweekend it could take a toll on you when the alarm clock goes off on Monday\nmorning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Take\nShort Breaks During the Week<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Clearing your mind and recharging your batteries doesn\u2019t\ntake a lot of time. Take a short break at lunchtime to help get you back on\ntrack for the rest of the day. Go for a walk around the block. Keep photos of\nloved ones or a favourite pet and glance at them during the day when the going\ngets tough. Have lunch with a co-worker but promise yourselves you won\u2019t talk\nabout work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reward\nYourself<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Just finished a really intense report? Take a minute and\nbuy yourself a pumpkin spice latte! (or something with chocolate for those\nchocoholics). Having a bad week? Use a food app like Skip the Dishes to order\ndinner from your favourite restaurant. Craving sugar? Go buy yourself something\nsweet from a local bakery or coffee shop. Life is short. So feel free to eat\ncake!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Plug\nIn to Unplug<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Unplug from work activities and plug in to your favourite music. Music is known to have healing properties and sometimes you\u2019ll just feel better listening to your favourite tunes. Go to a rock concert or treat yourself to a night at the Opera. If you\u2019re the creative type, learn how to play a new instrument. It\u2019s almost impossible to think about other things when trying to follow sheet music!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Find a Hobby<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Find something to do that makes you forget about work. Go on a weekend fishing trip. Try out a new recipe. Take flying lessons. Become an expert in antiques and visit a few local fairs or shops. Whatever you decide to do, schedule time to do it and do it! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having a career as a financial services professional can be extremely stressful.
