Why you should create Work Life Balance

Why you should create Work Life Balance

This Article that you are reading may just be, the single most important document you will read on the topic of Work-Life Balance.

I know it’s a bold statement to make, but I’m confident because I?alongside my clients use this exact ideology that I’m about to share with you.

It is the wake up call that my clients come to me for … ‘what is the meaning of my life and how can I find a healthy balance’ … deep work that is not cheap!

In recent months I have seen the power of this conversation when working with Business Owners …

From struggling, being overworked, tired and not earning the money they want … to having a quality of life … which is so rewarding!

A real wake up call … not bad right?

Imagine being able to figure this out … change your business … change your life and start to have free time to enjoy yourself, make enough money to feel secure and safe and a deep satisfaction for making a difference in the world. ?

This may feel like this is unattainable for you ….?

Well it can be your reality...?

Once you get the gist of this article … don’t be surprised if your mind starts a deep conversation with yourself!!

Before we go any further, are you ready to go through the life changing ideas? ?

BE WARNED …?

The information in this article is Sensitive and Accurate!

Let’s go…

There are several ways for you to question if your life is ‘balanced’! … But to be honest … you just know … you know if you feel happy … if you feel appreciated … if you feel that what you are spending time and money on gives you deep satisfaction?… if you are making a difference . if your life matters …

Sadly most people are not there … there is an imbalance and something is lacking … it may be time … money … connection … fulfilment … purpose.

I am going to tell you a story that happened some years ago that really made me stop in my track and rethink my life, my purpose and re-evaluate the ‘what is this living all about’ question. ?

It was early morning … my daughter on her way to college and my other in school… husband at work … me at home.?I was ready to do start my days work. ?

The phone rang … It was my daughter … her voice was strained, panicked … tearful … I could hardly understand what she was saying … I started to worry … what’s happened to my child??“Mommy … help me … come to the station… please!”

It was 8:00am and she was meant to be on route to her college for her lessons. “Mommy … I don’t know what’s happened … I got on the platform … there were people crying … some are screaming … I couldn’t help myself mommy … I went to the edge of the platform to see what?is going on!” ?

She told me that on the tracks was a teenage girl, lying lifeless on the rail tracks, face down and her body smoking.

Nothing made sense. I rushed to the station to get her … I wanted to protect her … to shield her from things like this and comfort, calm… something… as I wasn’t sure what just happened…. I wasn’t sure what I was needed to do.

I arrived, people were all over the station, some in each others hugs, crying. The whole thing was so surreal. My daughter climbed into the car and from the bottom of her soul she cried and cried. It was the most sorrowful cry I had heard from her.?It was painful to see her feel so much pain . I felt so helpless… She said that she walked on the platform and noticed people moving out of the station, people crying … confusion everywhere. She looked at the tracks and there in the middle lay a girl about her age, face down, motionless and her body smoking.

“I didn’t understand what I was seeing mommy … it didn’t make sense. I couldn’t look away and then I realised what happened.”

What happened? We didn’t know. No one at this point was certain. But it seemed like suicide. It could also have been a heart attack. What ever it was, in the midst of all saddens and horror, lay a gift.?

The realisation that life is fragile.?

We are fragile and therefor we should always remember that nothing is more important than love. To always remember to greet the new day with gratitude, to always say hello and to say good bye, to always hug goodnight.?

Tomorrow… we don’t know if tomorrow will be there. We just don’t know and therefor if we treat the people we love with love , and treat the people we don’t know … with love, then there will never be any regrets. No fight is worth the pain of not having said goodbye.

When talking with Business Owners, so often I see that the imbalance that they have is causing them physical stress … and the way they behave as a result of this stress is with a lack of thought , short, rude … uncaring … hurtful… angry. ?

And when we talk they blame and justify … and I know it is their way to protect their integrity … especially as they know that this is not who they are and not how they would like to behave. ?

Stress caused by imbalance, dissatisfaction, and a sense of obligation ultimately results over time in resentment and discontentment.

I would say … “Respect and love yourself and those around more and step up!”

Ok… ok… don’t kill the messenger … I know what I am saying … my question is to you!

What has to be true in your life, in your mind … in your programming that you live this way? ?

What?stops you from making changes?

Why do some people have what you want … and you don’t? ?

Who is to blame and who can change it? ?

Have you ever said to yourself:

~ I don't have enough hours in the day

~ I'm too busy.

~ I cant finish early today

~ I cant take a day off during the week and any other limiting belief around your work week?

This event made me stop in my tracks and for the following week I sat and just kept thinking about that morning.?How fragile life is … and we treat it the way we do!!!?Why????

As for the girl, she had a seizure and fell on to the tracks. She was taken to hospital and was in a critical condition. We never found out if her family were able to tell her I love you again.?

Sometimes we just don’t have flow in our relationships with those we love. And sometimes that lack of flow causes pain to you and to your family. Are you in that mess? Want to find a way out?

These are some of the questions I asked myself over 8 years ago.

Since then I've lived by expanding on this idea and I now help Business Owners and their Teams not only function effectively and efficiently … but also have meaning, purpose and a healthy life-work balance. ?

Tomorrow I will be announcing how to get my
