    This document discusses balancing work and life to reduce stress and promote well-being. It covers stress responses in the body, concepts of stress from medical, psychological, and public health perspectives. When stressed, the body enters a fight or flight response and information processing narrows. However, maintaining a positivity ratio of 3 positive thoughts or statements to every 1 negative can help view stress as a challenge. The document notes how workaholism can negatively impact intimacy and relationships, while leisure time and play increase resilience. It recommends flexible work conditions, leave options, childcare benefits, and worksite wellness programs to expand employee discretion and control while providing support. Research shows such work-life programs can reduce burnout and distress by 50
