Understanding Work/Life Balance

 

Its a journey…

The most important things to understand about Work/Life Balance is that it is a journey NOT a destination, thus we always have to work at it. Think of work/life balance as an essential life skills - like cooking or bathing - an activity you need to engage in frequently to sustain yourself.

Different perspective huh?

Most of us - myself included - treating work/life balance like a vacation, something to be reached at a certain point in time and enjoyed for a brief moment. The problem with this concept is that if you put off actively engaging in work/life balance activities, you health, personal relationships, professional career - will likely all suffer.
