Ms.Wells'sss Work Life Balance (Short Image Version)

HECK NO I do not have work life balance  but who does?

Well, then PASS ALONG THE RECIPE - would ya?

Been looking for it for years.
Sigh*
Never did find it.

First ingredient to finding work/life balance?

Things that WE love vs. Things that WE don't like as much

Hmmmm.

What if I feel equally torn between the two?

Meaning I love work

(which is what most people don't like)

AND

and love doing things that I also love to do outside of work

(Example? Long runs, getting lost often and

ultimately exercising with a fatal twist to each workout - HAH!)

Okay.

Let's take a different approach.

What kinda SKILLS do you got?

Self-discipline is always a tough one for me.

Too many ideas, too many activities to do which

I can't seem to let go.

Maybe laughing about it all (not having balance that is) would be better?

Help me let go?

Be less stressed?

Less pressure?

Can you be searching for that balance, 

trialling-failing-trying again 

WHILE having fun?

(Like stealing Candy from a baby like this guy is doing?)

Hmmm.

Or what if you decide that it's OKAY to be unbalanced for a little while...

...then slowly put your other foot down.

Hmmm.

Is that healthy?

Or is it okay to ask for a helping hand?

When do you ask? Or long should you wait?

Hmmm.

I just don't know.

If I could get instructions step-by-step that would be great.

Impossible yes, but great to imagine none-the-less.

I think work/life balance is a load of b.s. because....

...there is no recipe, no one stop-shop answer.

It's every man/woman for themselves.

Everyone is different.

Everyone therefore has different limits.

Trying to figure out those limits and comparing is exhausting.

It cannot be done.

Your "balance" comes from you which means that 

experimenting,

trial an error,

making mistakes

maybe making those mistakes twice, three times if necessary

are all apart of your finding your recipe for balance.

Slow and steady wins this race, 

not 

those who do nothing to find balance 
or those who do too much.

Sigh*

Definitely striving for my work/life balance to look 

A LOT MORE LIKE THIS.

Nailed it.
