We all have a fuel tank with limited fuel
Every one of us has a fixed amount of energy to use each day. How we distribute this energy between the main components of our life (e.g. work, rest , family and leisure) influences our work-life balance.
If we put too much energy into work, too little energy into rest, family and leisure, and if we do it for too long, our wellbeing will suffer. Our health suffers, and our family and relationships suffer. We may be on the road to Burnout!
Balance involves giving appropriate amounts of attention/time/energy to the important aspects of our life and often this needs to be flexible in order to deal with life’s natural challenges. Sometimes we need to work a bit harder, and sometimes rest a bit harder.
As we are all different, we will also have different balance needs and we discover this with experience and self reflection.
