What is “Life Balance” and How Can You Create it?

 

LIFE BALANCE IS: That place where you enjoy and thrive in all three of your lives simultaneously, without guilt and without internal conflicts.

Work life. Most of us spend a majority of our time and effort at work. You gain a lot more from work than you recognize. You produce financial rewards, but you also generate many other personal rewards as well. You gain feelings of accomplishment, of belonging, of acceptance, of winning, of competition, of gratitude, of appreciation, of respect, of status, and of contributing.

Personal life. This involves your personal health, your relationship with a higher being, if at all, your hobbies, and your personal integrity.

Family life. This involves the relationships you have with the blood relatives you want to keep, and any others you allow inside our inner circle. You are the only gatekeeper to the people you want to let inside your inner circle and how far you will let them in.
