equilibrium
dzien dobry, everyone! (good morning, polish)finally, i exercised! together with 3 other friends who have the same spirit, hopefully i'm able to keep this up, at least 3 days a week. it really felt great to touch the water again... :) now some tips from the expert... *who? ME, of course! ;D* we must find time for the things important to us. HEALTH is the number one priority. it means eat, sleep, and exercise well. if we neglect it for long enough, it will surely demand our attention over the others, resulting in health crisis. how well we take care of ourselves will influence everything. for example, we cannot help others or work if we're sick. taking care of our health is the only way to maximize our contribution to our family, friends, and society.
what are the other areas?well, as for me, it includes family & friends, work, fun, personal growth, & significant other (romance). all of them should be balanced. life is more fragile than we'd thought. people come & go in our lives and as we grow older, it takes a commitment to maintain the relation. in this busy world of ours, we often forget to treasure and norture our relationships with FAMILY & FRIENDS. as adults, we sometimes forget how important they are for us to having social balance.
WORK refers to anything that must be done, like school or job (career) or household works. be cautious in spending your time for this area, especially for career. we don't want it ruins the other areas, right?! my career means something that provides me with the opportunity to earn income, meet new people - interact with them - express myself, and develop my potential. i'm loyal as long as all of them are still provided by my current job.
and then there is FUN - which cannot be neglected - it means relax & enjoy life, release the stress, experience new thing. it's good for physical & mental health. next PERSONAL GROWTH which has something to do with SOLITUDE. i guess each person needs quite time to recharge their batteries, a personal "time out" period to work on self. lastly, our ROMANCE PARTNER. whenever possible, combine several roles at once so we can make it win-win solution. the most easiest example is having fun together with our boy(girl)friend.
each of us has a unique picture of what life balance means and how we want to achieve it. we have control over our own life, like how much of our time & resources we want to dedicate to which area. only WE know what is best for us. we don't have to balance it perfectly, we only need to balance them in a way that best expresses our potential & role on earth.
enough for today's lesson. have a well balanced life for all!
