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, Family is the trunk, and your Work and everything else you do, is the tree. Your priority cannot be the tree, trunk and the 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 for sleep. Follow set mealtimes and eat mindfully. Spend 3 to 4 hours of the day with family.

3 ● 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.
