Stop thinking about work and reclaim your nights!

The other day a client remarked that they left work depressed every weekday and thought about work more than they cared to admit. 

We've all had jobs that leave us ranting and raving well into our non-work time or ruminating over difficult conversations, mistakes or what might have been. 

Even jobs and businesses we love can take over our time off!

Some people argue that it's okay to think about work all the time if you love it, but I believe that no matter the quality of your working life, you need to switch off and live a life outside of work. 

Happily, I'm supported by a range of research on that!

How we had started to prefer thinking hopeful thoughts over acting to promote hope-filled action and outcomes.

We are thinking and acting like children, rather than adults.
