“Work-life balance” gets talked about and thrown around, but who’s to say what the balance must be? I say you are.
So instead of worrying about balance, think about harmonizing who you are inside with what you are doing outside.
If you feel something is wrong, there is. If you feel it’s working, it is.
Are your inner and your outer in harmony? What do you need to do to make it so?
I enjoy my outside time. Even if it’s just a few short minutes, I make time for it daily. In the garage wrenching on something is outside time for me. It’s also where I come up with ideas to share with others.
