So why is the achievement or the pursuit of work-life balance so important? Making sure that you are taking care of yourself and enjoying life is so critical so that you can be your best at home and at work.  We don’t always achieve balance as there is always a give-and-take as we dance between responsibilities at home and work. It is important that we try to figure out what our ideal balance might be so that we can prevent overwhelm and burn out as we nurture and take care of ourselves.

As you feel yourself struggling to do everything and finding that nothing is going well, this is an important time to step back and see what is out of sync in your life.

By always keeping work-life balance on your mind and in your calendar you will find that you will experience less overwhelm and burn out along with stronger relationships and better productivity at work.  If you are struggling with overwhelm at this moment, look at your calendar of responsibilities and appointments for both work and home to rebalance your life. Look to see if you are taking care of yourself to be the best person you can be in both worlds. It is not easy but if you ignore it you definitely end up burning yourself out and wondering why you didn’t do something sooner.
