I'm feeling overwhelmed with work and struggling to disconnect after hours. Do you have any tips for achieving a better work-life balance?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
One strategy is to set clear boundaries, such as not checking work emails or taking work calls during non-work hours. This can help you mentally separate your work and personal life.<|im_end|>

That sounds helpful. What about when I'm not working, but I still find myself thinking about work-related tasks or stressors? How can I stop those thoughts from creeping in?<|im_end|>

Try practicing mindfulness techniques, such as deep breathing or meditation, to calm your mind and bring your focus to the present moment. You can also try engaging in activities you enjoy, like exercise, reading, or spending time with loved ones, to distract yourself from work-related thoughts.<|im_end|>
