Week-end: Work-Life Balance

Work life balance is a concept including proper prioritizing between work (career and ambition) and lifestyle (health, pleasure, leisure, family and spiritual development/meditation). It is a concept that supports the efforts of employees to split their time and energy between work and the other important aspects of their lives. It is a daily effort to make time for family, friends, community participation, spirituality, personal growth, self-care, and other personal activities in addition to the demands of workplace. Effective work-life balance encourages employees to work harder and discourage them from quitting their jobs. Work life balance means something different to every individual, but health and career experts share some tips to help you find the balance that’s right for you. The key to avoid burning is to let go of perfectionism, says executive coach Marilyn Puder-York PhD, who wrote the official Survival Guide. As life gets more expanded its very hard both neurologically and psychologically to bring perfection. She recommend dedicating a few chunks of time each week to self -care, whether its exercise, yoga or meditation. First identify what is most important in your life and then draw firm boundaries’ so you can devote quality time to these high priority people and activities.
Puder-York concluded the work life balance by saying that “When I talk about balance, it does not mean completion and achievement of every task, but it mean that you will get a time for self care, so that your body, mind and soul are being refreshed.”
