𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤 / 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐁𝐞 𝐀 𝐆𝐨𝐚𝐥?

FYI: I’m just speaking from experience…

I think trying to find balance between your work and your life is like trying to find balance in any relationship.

Whether in any personal or professional relationship one aspect is almost always at any period in time giving more.

It’s very rare that there’s complete balance: both partners giving equally, teammates contributing equally, group members carrying the load evenly…

Maybe a better goal would be to balance how we view our self-care?

“I need to maintain my exercise routine because one day I’m going to need to lift more”

“It’s not selfish to prioritize me because I want to be ready and available when my partner needs me.”

“My health & well-being needs to be top of mind because it’s very stressful at work, and I need to be resilient enough not to bring that stress home.”

“Over the years they’ve been there for me and now it’s my turn to be there for them, not because I owe them, but because I can and it’s the right thing to do.”

▪️You work very hard.

▪️You know how to get results.

▪️You commit fully to the collective goal.

But are you fully committed to the goal of being the best you can be when it’s demanded of you, and then pat yourself on the back because you stepped up to the plate when you were needed and knocked it out of the park?

🤔 Wouldn’t it be better to have the confidence to give more when needed?

🤔 Know that you have the capacity to carry the load toward the goal when others can’t?

🤔 And be able to rest on your laurels because you were there when you were needed and followed through?

That’ll never happen if you're not prioritizing your self-care.

The energy you're putting into finding work / life balance will expire before you ever find it.

But, if you put your energy into your health & well-being, working out consistently, making positive food decisions, planning your rest and recovery, there’s one thing I can promise…

✅ You’ll be ready when the time comes.

✅ You’ll be strong enough to push through and carry the load.

✅ You’ll be there for those you love and who love and need you now!
