Work-life balance involves consciously managing your time and energy to meet both professional and personal commitments while prioritizing self-care and well-being.
I always stay positive. While working at home and being a Mom there are times that I feel the guilt of struggling to achieve an effective work-life balance, the pressure of societal expectations and stereotypes, and the impact on one's mental and physical health.
What I do is set a boundary to ensure that I understand my role, responsibilities, and the expected working hours. Staying healthy and energized for the long haul. When it comes to work-life balance, I need to engage in a variety of activities and rest. I also practice self-care to prevent risk for burnout, fatigue, and stress-related health issues. Plus, overworking has negative consequences for my health and my family.
I take necessary steps to develop a healthy work-life balance. It can be difficult but effective time management skills can really help by also encouraging my team to unplug and have a space to connect and socialize.
I accept my limits, sometimes I ask help from my family and learn to feel confident about saying NO to a bunch of things so I can focus on the few things that matter: my family and work. I don’t try to be a superwoman, I let myself off the hook and breathe a sigh of relief.
And lastly, I find and maintain a healthy work-life balance by discovering the relationship between work and home life. It may take some time, but coaching gives me some help.
