Just as the name suggests, and very simply put, work-life balance is an achievement of a balanced work and general life routine. I won’t say equally balanced, because it never works so right practically, but something which is and should be more realistic and rewarding.
Some people might ask… “What’s life if you don’t have work?”, on the contrary, what’s work if you don’t have a life?
There is no ‘one size – fits all’ method. Each of us live and prioritize differently. The best approach to take is when you can ‘Achieve’ and ‘Enjoy’ everyday life - from the smallest to the biggest of things. Being creative while cooking, accepting a mistake and learning from it, reconnecting with a friend after a really long time, making a presentation at work, overcoming difficult situations through rationalizing or even writing this article for the blog is a sense of achievement and very enjoyable for me personally!
In a nutshell, the only trick is to be able to “balance work and life’s equations between positive and negative experiences...”
Would love to know your thoughts on work-life balance... so go ahead and drop a comment!
Some interesting quotes for you:
"It is balance; we need it. The sad part is
that some people pay more attention to their credit than
they do to their own balance in life!"
Catherine Pulsifer, from A Credit Check on Your Balance
"I've learned that you can't have everything
and do everything at the same time."
Oprah Winfrey
"Looking back at the times where I allowed my work to create stress and frustration in my life I now realize what I thought was important really was not. I am not saying you should not take your work seriously, what I am saying is that we need to realize that life is all about balance."
Catherine Pulsifer, from Briefcase with an Engine
