The essence of Work/Life Balance
Work/Life Balance is incredibly important & should a fundamental factor that everyone should have an awareness & appreciation of. Essentially it is a concept all about the balance between work & lifestyle…
Work,
in this context, can be defined as your vocation, career, business, ambition,
professional development. At Inspiration to Action we believe that your work
should ultimately be finding something you really enjoy & make a
comfortable living from it.
Life,
in this context, can be defined as family, friends, health, play, personal
development, meditation, me time. Inspiration to Action believes that by
investing in your lifestyle you will be happy
& consistently be your best mentally, physically & emotionally.
In both work & life it is essential that you invest in
yourself by considering your mind, body, spirit & emotions in every way,
everyday.
In your work ensure that your mind is locked in, engaged & excited by
what you do. If you are quite sedentary in your role, move your body! Get up
& move around every hour. Spiritually in your work – is it really your true
calling? Are you making a difference? Even by sharing positivity through your
attitude in the workplace can make a difference & make yours & your
colleagues work day better & brighter! Finally emotionally at work do you
know how to effectively handle your emotions so you can deal with frustrating
situations or people & perform your best?
In your life out of work a positive mindset is still imperative. Do you
look forward to getting home not just to relax but to enjoy the people &
environment around you? Do you expand & inspire your mind with positive
books, articles, audio etc? Do you get active at least 3 times a week, consume
2 litres of water daily & consume a nice healthy diet – ‘You are what you
Eat’! Spiritually do you feel connected? Do you listen to your intuition
enough? A great way to do so is to have some ‘me time’ utilising deep breathing
exercises, meditation or holistic therapies such as Reflexology for example. Feeling connected to
yourself means you can truly ‘Be’. Are emotionally intelligent? It’s great to
have high IQ but do you have high EQ? Research increasingly supports that if we
are fully aware of our emotions & handle them effectively we will succeed
in the achievement of personal
& professional goals.
To sum up ‘Work Hard – Play Hard’
springs to mind, yet again it is of the essence to achieve perfect balance in
work & play. At times in work or life things may seem unmanageable or out
of our control & this can cause stress. A great way to counteract stress is
to take a step back, centre yourself, breath, relax & rejuvenate.
Establishing & breaking down the source of stress & seeing it for what
it really is the best way to fully release & liberate the true you.
A good, happy, healthy life is all about balance - we all have the same 24 hours in one day. Some (ideally most) days can be mega productive & some should be very chilled - like a nice relaxing Sunday or your day/s off - taking time out is just as important to achieve your goals as it is to work towards them!
We all have the same 24 hours each & everyday - from a holistic viewpoint the could be divided into 3 main sections:
8 hours work, establish & achieve your goals
8 hours rest, relaxation, reflection - majority (if not all) of this will be sleeping!
8 hours play, FUN, exercise, connection with friends & family
