Creating A Good Work-Life Balance

There is no denying that our work is an important part of our life. But sometimes we allow work to dominate over everything else. We need to strike a healthy balance by prioritizing all aspects of life. When we complain I have no time to balance my work and life, we use time as an excuse to not pay attention to one of the three – the self or family or work.

1● 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬: It could be Work, Family, and then Self, if there is time left. The Self is the seed, the Family is the trunk, and your Work and everything else you do is the tree. Your priority cannot be the tree, trunk, and seed. It should be – seed, trunk, and then the rest of the tree. Change your priority to be: Self, Family and Work.

2● 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥: Keep aside for yourself, an hour of Me-time every morning to meditate and exercise. Also, fix 6-7 hours of sleep. Follow set mealtimes and eat mindfully. Spend 3 to 4 hours of the day with family.

3● 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: Once you schedule time to nourish your mind, strengthen your body and have beautiful relationships, you are energized to put in more than 100% percent at work. Your intuition, decision-making, cooperation, and productivity increase. You will achieve more in less time. Getting your life in balance and in harmony begins from caring for yourself.
