LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

It took me nearly 30 years. But, I finally see why so many adults want to run away and join the circus. Circus performers typically have an incredible sense of balance in their lives. Between the hours that many of us work to earn a living and the hours we spend tending to our relationships and household responsibilities, caring for our well-being can fall to the wayside.

Ultimately, this issue is dedicated to trying to find that balance in the circus that is life. The juggling act that includes balls labeled: pay the bills, shuttle the kids to practice, finish the project, pick up groceries and schedule some self-care or social outing. Wellness is affected by our environment, and that includes the workplace.

In this issue focused on Workplace Wellness, discover how others manage their juggling act by setting boundaries between personal and professional life. Implement new stress management strategies to prevent the negative side effects of tension and toxic work environments.

Since the summer season is all about enjoying time outside, explore how to make grilling more healthy. Try some of the tasty recipes included in this section. Find encouragement to take a vacation for your well-being and ways to make the most of your time off work. Then, read on to learn about the health resources available to employees through their workplace.

Browse the Tech Tools department for helpful apps that manage calendars, reminders and screen time, or see how to craft a workspace that is more comfortable and safe, no matter what the job entails.
