Work Life Balance

Work and life balance mean something different to every individual, and I think the key to having a good balance is being able to meet priorities that help us feel a sense of accomplishment and control. As balance comes in many forms, physical, emotional and spiritual forms. These days, work-life balance can seem like an impossible feat. While having a balanced life means creating time for the things that we have to do, as well as the things that we like to do.

The balance of spending time for friends and family which is part of our emotional balance. Thus, having a support system is important and makes us feel cared for and loved, knowing there is someone else that cares about our well-being. Our career is an important part of our life, as it helps us to pay off our bills and provides us with a sense of purpose. But if you often find yourself forgetting that your work is just a small part of your life, you’ll find yourself in good company. While your career may influence many aspects of your life, it shouldn’t rule supreme.

It’s essential to find the right balance between work and play. It is up to each of us to create harmony between our life responsibilities while finding time to participate in activities that bring us pleasure, and personal fulfillment. When you are living with balance in your life, you are living with peace and harmony every day. The pursuit of a healthy work/ life balance seems impossible, but all you have to do is to connect with your self-love and your appreciation for all that you have. You could also use this time to visualize your desires. This will create peace for you within your day and remind you who you really are and what is important. At the end of the day, you need to care and nurture yourself, as you cannot accomplish anything if you're unhealthy. Give yourself a break. No one’s perfect! Allow yourself to be human and just do the best you can.
