Are You Balancing Work And Life?
While balance is especially difficult for freelance workers, it’s not impossible
Being busy is tantamount to being successful in our culture. The expectation of 24/7 accessibility is considered normal. News flash: it’s not.
Success is defined by so much more than just a full calendar. In fact, many people with jam-packed schedules are often not in control of their own determination of success.
I am my business’ primary client. Sure, I technically don’t generate any revenue. However, if I overwork myself, break down, fall apart, or burn out, then I won’t be able to work at all. Then, all the revenue falls off the map.
Instead, I consider my needs just as important as my clients. If I need to take a morning to run errands, I take the morning. I don’t block the time in my calendar, but if it helps you feel productive, then go for it. Your time and self-care are worth the pause.
Regardless of how you work (freelance or employee), you are the most important asset you possess. Don’t push self-care to the back-burner. Find the steps necessary to ensure you remain happy, healthy, and at your best.
What self-care steps do you take to maintain a healthy work/life balance?
