Work Life Balance : Just Touch It
We've all heard that the elusive work life balance is important for health and well-being, but what is it and how does one attain it?
Balance exists when all aspects of ourselves are addressed and integrated into our daily lives. From my training as a life coach, therapist, and massage therapist, I have concluded that a holistic approach to learning and development includes honoring six areas: the intellectual, emotional, physical, spiritual, social, and creative aspects of our Being. Each aspect contributes something unique to our lives. In other words we are complex, multi-dimensional creatures, and reaching our full potential includes the alignment of all these parts.
Most people are good at a couple of these areas, so-so with a few, and completely negligent on one or another area. However, as you can imagine, all parts are interrelated in striking the right work life balance. Your physical health affects your emotional well-being. If you're not feeling connected to something greater than yourself, you may lack creative inspiration.
For optimum performance, each area needs to be addressed if you are committed to balance and well-being.
As a life coach I've developed the phrase "just touch it." This means that just acknowledging a neglected area is all it takes. So whatever aspect of your life you may be avoiding, just touch it! Instead of waiting until you can hire a physical trainer four times a week, just bend down and touch your toes!
