How to balance your life
Although there is a clear distinction between a ‘body’ and a ‘mind’, the two should not be thought of as separate. Your body and mind are interconnected. Mental health problems affect physical health and vice versa. That’s why it is important to maintain a healthy balance between your body and mind. Many people struggle with this because of the demands of their busy lifestyle. They often have to fight tiredness on a daily basis and don’t manage or don’t know how to recover their energy. This leads to a situation in which they can’t enjoy their lives anymore. However, this can be fixed.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
There are some simple steps you can take to be able to achieve overall wellness.
Many people also struggle with balancing their work and family lives. This is especially true for working mothers who often blame themselves for making that choice. The benefits of working like having more money and social life can often be overshadowed by the feelings of guilt that you are not there for your family. You are also probably often too tired to enjoy your social life and you are overwhelmed with too much work. So is there a golden solution that would help you to be pleased that you work but on the other hand don’t feel guilty? Check out these tips and see how they would work for you:
You can try and schedule once or twice a week an afternoon/ evening which will be dedicated only to a family time. It doesn’t have to be anything special, it can be just working on a jigsaw puzzle going for a walk or playing a board game. The most important thing is that your children and your partner will know you are there for them and that it is their time only. The great bonding idea would be eating dinner together. During that time everyone can share what they were doing that day.
You can use a board or mobile devices and sync the calendars of each family member. Dedicate an hour on the weekend to plan your next week, ask everyone what their plans are, if there are any extra activities/events and schedule them in. That way you will not only be prepared for what is happening but also avoid surprises. It will save you time and improve efficiency in your home.
If you struggle with your workload maybe you could change some working arrangements. Find out what benefits other employees with children have and try to negotiate something for yourself too. It could be going part-time, working some days from home or working flexible hours around childcare.
You will have a peace of mind if you know that your child is looked after by someone experienced and trustworthy.
You will be a better partner, a parent and an employee if you feel good about yourself. Nothing can improve your mood better than some me time: a relaxing bath, interesting book, or taking up a hobby.
In your busy life it’s easy to neglect your partner. You end up only talking about the children and work and forget about the things you enjoyed doing together. To keep the romance going, try to schedule a date once a month and focus on enjoying each other’s company.
