Significance of Work-Life Balance

in #life6 years ago (edited)

Featured Image.png

Work-life balance is not as easy as it sounds because to win a bread for your family and get some desired food on the table are for what we tend to give away the luxuries or the comforts of our daily lives. However, we must also think of our family and friends who also fall into this work life scenario. Without family and friends what would you do with that money? Nothing except for few days of enjoyment. Someone rightly said:

“Some people are so poor that all they have is money”


We hope you got the point of our today’s topic. It’s basically about how we should maintain the balance between our work and life. Let’s dig into 4 of the many positive impacts work-life balance brings into our daily lives.

Healthy Life

When begin socializing with friends and spending time with family, we experience the betterment in our health. Because the stress life is what we should live in. The work load and imbalance of work and life can lead to severe health related problems.

In one study, it was found that white-collar workers who worked three or more hours longer than required had a 60% higher risk of heart-related problems than those who didn’t work overtime.

Well Developed Individual

Even when we apply for any job, we are often asked for our co-curricular activities and sometimes we even get job based on those activities. Did you ever think why that is so? Let us tell you. It’s significantly because your boss does not want a robot but a human who daily exercises his body and brain to keep his professional and daily life healthy. Because if you come reach office being half asleep and you have a meeting, your boss won’t care for what you were awake; rather, he would scold you for being late.

Work is necessary but not more than life. If you feel you’re not able to be productive at your current job, leave it because you deserve better. Life is more important than work; however, we’re not discussing the severe cases here where you have nothing to eat and you’re enjoying your life. It’s for those people who are well off but still working day and night just because they want to earn more and more.

Give Attention Where Needed.png

Able To Give Attention Where Needed

When we begin to balance our work and daily life, we experience how it feels when we become the reason for someone’s happiness. This is actually the natural happiness which cannot be bought from anywhere around the world. Moreover, you also feel delighted when you see people wanting to meet you, hang out with you, just because they can spend some time in your presence. This is priceless and more precious than our work life.


Have you ever seen the happiness in your mother’s eyes when she see you coming back from work? She rarely question about anything but ask for your wellbeing. This is what attention can do to your life. If you spend some time with your siblings and parents, believe me, the happiness on your face will let you know why money is nothing when compared with happiness.

High Morale.png

High Morale

Who doesn’t want a boost in his/her morale? Rarely anyone would say no. It’s because high morale is the reason behind pure relaxation which hardly comes from anything else except spirituality.
The work-life balance often results into High Morale, and the primary reason behind it is the stress free life, because when we’re under zero stress, we often tend to be more productive than under stress. So, we should avoid the heavy work load and focus on balancing our work and daily life.

Very valuable post, and often very hard to accomplish. But in the end it s even a sign of seniority to be able to assess and communicate what amount of workload one is able to handle, and look for people who can support.
And then it's also important how one spends their private live, family and Steemit should remain in belance.

Thank you for kind support and good comment.

While whiling reading this beautiful work of yours @flash07, my able friend, a song popped in my mind 😊. I do not know though if you are a fan of hip-hop/rap musics 😀. It reminded me of the WORK HARD, PLAY HARD rap track done by Snoop Lion and Whiz Khalifa almost a decade back.

But here, it is much like you are emphasising work considerably hard and live life better to enjoy the proceeds.

Brava!
Curated. Thanks crypto.poitr for sharing this...😍 Very helpful. I have shared it too so as to help anyone considering jack of all trade as the best option to have a second thought.

In songs I kind of like the songs which have good music with good lyrics. I will definitely check that song you recommend.

Also thank you for your kind support and sharing your views with us.

Alright!
Always welcome.

Hi @flash07 actually whole article is like amazing and I saved it already but I wanted to mantion some one liners that you used in article which I like the most .

Some people are so poor that all they have is money

Yes agree. What you will do with money if you have no one to share your happiness with. Money can get you many things but not love of your family. With earning money it's important that we spend time with our family.

Work is necessary but not more than life.

100% true. We are doing work because we get good life. Not living life because we earn good money.

Have you ever seen the happiness in your mother’s eyes when she see you coming back from work? She rarely question about anything but ask for your wellbeing.

Yes I have seen that my friend :)

Thanks again for amazing article.

you most likely must have experience this first hand....... you should have seen the love and excitement in my mums eyes.

Because if you come reach office being half asleep and you have a meeting, your boss won’t care for what you were awake; rather, he would scold you for being late.

As true as this is... the bosses most time give a work load that keeps you of you rest time...... this is a major problem with emerging economies.

@maxiemoses-eu

I know what you mean. My balance is terrible at the moment. While I like my job for the most part it's shift work with no set roster. I have two weeks on shifts on the wall working anywhere from 5am to midnight.
And thats what I hate. It makes it impossible to set up anything. To join an activity or have a night out with your friends. Most people work 9 to 5 on a set schedule so everything is planned around these. I can make it to somethings but find it impossible to join anything longer term.

Believe me most people are in same situation. Everyone wants to prove that they are doing the job, doing work day and night so boss sees the hard work they re doing and they get promoted or get raised accordingly. When I started my carrier I was in same situation - I want to prove my self, working day and night, and it was matter of time that I realize that I am doing something wrong as I got so many health issue. Then I gave important to my health to recover, then I balanced everything work+family+health (took some time to balance all things as I was doing all wrong for 2 years).

Hope you will figure out how to balance all.
Thank You for your kind support and comment.

Take care.

No problem. Can you tell me something though?

When you copy my text to your comment, what commands do you use to make that segment with the vertical line alongside it. I've seen it in a lot of comments but don't know how to do it myself?

This will help you my friend.

Very well written article... Loved the quote “Some people are so poor that all they have is money”

Truly work life balance is a complicated trade off but is necessary for a healthy life and also healthy relationships

Thank You @mukund83 for your kind words and support.

Yes my friend but most of people don't understand this.

Very well written article... Loved the quote “Some people are so poor that all they have is money”

Yes my friend @mukund83, That is pretty amazing quote.

You mentioned so many one liner quotes with great meaning @flash07

So many people fail to see this fact

Work is necessary but not more than life

I am still trying to explain why i have rejected many jobs to my parents.
Because i know what i want from life and geting a job may just stop me from doing all that. Will my parents ever understand. We hopefully in the future

Great post @flash07

After doing job for 3 years, I decided to do freelancing full time ( with job I was doing freelancing but sometimes I get 1 hour, sometimes 2 hours or not a time at all). I decided but it's important that my parents understand the same. I thought it will be too hard but when I discussed all things with my parents that what I am doing at current job, what I want to do and all - my parents simply said that do whatever makes you happy. I was shocked at that moment (my parents were supportive all the time but I thought they will not agree with this because we were not that good financially). I left the job and doing freelancing now.

But same situation not worked with my cousin brother as his parents not supported him and he doing the job.

Wish you great success and I hope your parents will understand your situation in future.
Even I am sure that they will understand my friend :)

Someone rightly said “Some people are so poor that all they have is money”.

I read whole article @maxiemoses-eu & then it motivated me and I started to think about more about my regular life.

I liked the whole experience.

Great article as always @flash07

Thank You @pratik99 for your kind support :)

Wow @flash07, that's really mind blowing. Do you know who said that?

Thank you for such interesting and great article.

Greetings, Jan

that's really mind blowing. Do you know who said that?

I think it was the BOB MARLEY.

Thank you for such interesting and great article.

Thank you for your kind words and support.

Hello friend, getting that balance is difficult, and it is because, since we are little, our parents and in our schools tell us that we must study to get a good job, they never tell us that we should do the things that make us happy, the jobs are too stressful only if we are not passionate about what we are doing, another important point is to set goals, so we can have a balance, suppose that this year you want to grow your business 10%, having a clear goal established you focus on making it a reality and to fulfill it you can dedicate more time to the family, while if you do not have a fixed goal let's say you only say "I want my business to grow" you may have 15% or 20% growth and you will still be totally busy, focused on growing your business can happen all year and you do not reach a point where you say perfect, I already got the work goal, it's time to enjoy with my family.
It is a reflective post, congratulations
regards

@hendersonp

getting that balance is difficult, and it is because, since we are little, our parents and in our schools tell us that we must study to get a good job, they never tell us that we should do the things that make us happy,

Because they don't know about it and they think job is the best. It's universal thing that parents only want best things for their children.

another important point is to set goals, so we can have a balance, suppose that this year you want to grow your business 10%, having a clear goal established you focus on making it a reality and to fulfill it you can dedicate more time to the family, while if you do not have a fixed goal let's say you only say "I want my business to grow" you may have 15% or 20% growth and you will still be totally busy, focused on growing your business can happen all year and you do not reach a point where you say perfect, I already got the work goal, it's time to enjoy with my family.

indeed finding balance between work and life may be very hard. Especially if one love what he does for living. Then quickly his work may become his life. What to do once it happends?

Thank You @crypto.piotr for you kind support.

If we are doing the work we like then it's great. But even that situation to take care of your health and spending time with family and friends is important.

The average mind of everybody in my country is to work, hustle, earn money and even more money. It's more of a religion than a belief. The average Nigerian man believes that the whole bulk of the world is on his shoulders.... Lol. Nevertheless, I will never settle for a job that gives me little or no time for myself and my family. Normal working hours are OK. Any other thing extra is like coding a program to a computer.
One should always find a balance between hardwork and living his life accordingly. Although it's hard but it's really achievable. I'm grateful for the wisdom behind your post. Keep it up @flash07

The average mind of everybody in my country is to work, hustle, earn money and even more money.

Believe me it's universal thing. Rich, middle class or poor - everybody is racing for money and power. Money and power are things which are never enough for anyone.

I will never settle for a job that gives me little or no time for myself and my family.

Great thought my friend.

One should always find a balance between hardwork and living his life accordingly. Although it's hard but it's really achievable.

Totally agree with you my friend.

Thank You for sharing your views, amazing comment and kind support @davonicera🙂

Too many lifehacks in one post . Indeed, people tend to get carried away by earning a living that they forget living is way more important !
Nice piece @flash07 :)

Thank You for such a nice comment and your kind support @danielwrites🙂

It is very true that most people run after money and in the process lose out on so many things in life.

Thank you very much for your kind comment.
