It is not all that easy to find the balance you seek.

At home. In life. As a career.

Magical statements like “work-life balance” or, as some will go so far as to say “life-work balance” which sounds novel, and most likely is harder to achieve.

Time with your family – making the moments special and trying to ensure that your husband (spouse) and kids all get what they need.

Time to do the things you find fun – friends, hobbies, activities – maybe some of which help you to stay healthier and flexible.

Time focused on what pays the bills – hopefully, also fulfilling you in some way. The things that feel good, well done – achieved and accomplished.

Feeling good. Lots of smiles. Less stress.

Remember to take breaks from all of them, focus on one for a while, then step back. It can never been too much or too little, but rarely is there an equality at all times. It is just something you have to do and over time, on average, find the balance that makes it all work.
