Possibilities for work life balence

[Elephant86]

It is important to work and earn an income so you can support yourself and your family to make a better life for yourself but sometime we work so hard at the detrement to our health and wellbeing . I will talk about what are some ways you can look after yourself so you can have a wonderful long lived career so you don't run yourself under ground to early in your career.

when you think about it what do you really want out of life do you want to be over worked at the detrement to your health or do you want to strike a balence between your health and your work you can still work to your potential at work without destroying your health. We are programed to think that if I work and make a million dolars I will be happy and content.

I beleive that you need to work to earn a living.

I think you need to work to help your family and support the community. I think it is important to put family first and be there at your childs soccer game or your daughters dance resital. It is important to not let work consume your every waking moment. 

You must find ways to stay healthy and fit and strong for example finding and starting your exercise regimealways pick and exercise that fits in woth work and family commitments and make time to look after yourself so you can look after your family and live a long prosperous life so you are able to be there at your daughter or sons wedding to celebrate life and not to let lifes difficulties destroy you. 

I will share a personal experience to explain why it is important to have work life balence. Last year I had a bipolar episode and the doctor told me you are doing to many things at once you need to pick a few things and do it well you are more likely to be successful at a few things.

There is the fable about the fox and the rabbit

The fox decided well I will do six things and worked on them but didn't get anything right. Then there was the rabbit who said I want to grow a vegie patch so he toiled and focused on being a farmer and focused of his vegie patch and by spring he sold all his vegtables and was able to feed his family through the winter.

There is a principle by Malcolm gladwell that states if you pick one thing and do it for 10 000 hour you will eventually become and expert. If you pick 5 things you will run out of time and you will be spread to thin and probably get sick like I did. This is the lesson I wish to pass on to you to hopfully make a difference

There is the buddism law of eqinimity also known as balence to bring harmony
