Striking a Balance

Striking a balance between one's work life and personal life can sometimes being trying to say the least. This is especially true for those we overly demanding jobs and for most women in general. It becomes difficult to find time for those you care about and, even more so, time for yourself. It is imperative that we find the right balance in our lives for our sanity and that of those around us. Family should come first. Your job won't be their to console you or hold you or tell you everything will be okay when you are feeling down. Find the time necessary to show those that you love that you have value them and appreciate them and need them.

So many relationships end because one of the mates didn't or refused to have the time for the other mate. Perhaps he/she wanted to impress his/her boss so he spends 14 hours at work or maybe he/she spends all his/her free time with others. No matter what the reason, the failure to have a balance in you life will lead to difficulties in relationships. So if it means telling the boss no ii can't stay late or telling your friends or family no I can't come over or hang out tonight, it is worth it to save your relationship.

Often times we get so caught up in doing for others that we fail to take time for ourselves. In order to be a well rounded person we have to find time for ourselves. When was the last time you did something just for you? Women especially have a hard time doing this because we are so busy trying to please our mates or or bosses or our children, that we fail to take time to please ourselves. So go have a spa day or whatever you enjoy doing. If we are happy and stress free, our lives will be happier and less stressful.
