Let's Grind for the Future

I'm about to grind online and be here all night long today. In fact, I do this every day. Sometimes I can feel the rush of being a workaholic with a slowing down at the same time. It is not cool to be always grinding without any rest in between. Lately, I am reminding myself to be like this. It is not always working but we have also to enjoy our lives. How do you balance your life? Do you remind yourself to slow down a bit? Image Credit: media0.giphy.com

It's important to have balance in your life. Maybe you need to schedule in more 'down time' for yourself.

I agree. I started to slow down by lessening my workload on weekends now.

Oh! I am very particular that I need breaks to enjoy life. I take breaks between work and chores to relax or enjoy family life.. And I am very particular about having family vacation. We all keep striving for that work-life balance and trust me it's not easy.

@arunima25 I am amazed that you can balance your life between career and family. I do agree with family day. It needs to be done every Sunday.

@Shavkat Well, I have not attained perfection in that balancing act. I guess we never do. But yes, I keep trying for it.

Nowadays, work is minimal, although I would like more work. My online employees are also having a vacation? I balance my life by doing what I want to do as long as I don't harm anyone, to rest when I feel like resting and not forcing myself to work until I'm fatigued.

I try to tell myself that I have slowed down, but even when I am taking a "break" I am still working on something haha

I sleep. Sleep is my balancer. If ever I feel overwhelmed a good sleep will help me boost my mood. Good music helps also.

I often has to remind myself that I am no more young and I should slow down.

@cacay1 Until about 5 years ago I was never tired.

@cacay1 I suppose because I am aging, I am 71 soon.

@cacay1 - Most people who know me think I am in my 50's, I am not going to tell them.

I've slowed down too mch. Now I have to get back to the grind. Best to take breaks. In your case. Glad you can have a good balance, I used to work non stop
