Maintaining Balance

In this MMI Campfire Chat...

Life can be hectic. Really hectic. Especially working in the veterinary professions. When you’re constantly busy and overrun by responsibility, it can be easy to lose sight of what really matters to you.

We are all individuals, and therefore balance will look and feel very different to each of us. It is therefore essential that we all find our own sense of balance, to allow us to better look after ourselves and those around us.

Join us for this Campfire Chat, as we explore the many faces of maintaining balance, the ways in which we can try to implement it into our lives, and why it is so important.
