Significance of Work-Life Balance
Work-life balance is not as easy as it sounds because to win a bread for your family and get some desired food on the table are for what we tend to give away the luxuries or the comforts of our daily lives. However, we must also think of our family and friends who also fall into this work life scenario. Without family and friends what would you do with that money? Nothing except for few days of enjoyment. Someone rightly said:
“Some people are so poor that all they have is money”
We hope you got the point of our today’s topic. It’s basically about how we should maintain the balance between our work and life. Let’s dig into 4 of the many positive impacts work-life balance brings into our daily lives.
Healthy Life
When begin socializing with friends and spending time with family, we experience the betterment in our health. Because the stress life is what we should live in. The work load and imbalance of work and life can lead to severe health related problems.
In one study, it was found that white-collar workers who worked three or more hours longer than required had a 60% higher risk of heart-related problems than those who didn’t work overtime.
Well Developed Individual
Even when we apply for any job, we are often asked for our co-curricular activities and sometimes we even get job based on those activities. Did you ever think why that is so? Let us tell you. It’s significantly because your boss does not want a robot but a human who daily exercises his body and brain to keep his professional and daily life healthy. Because if you come reach office being half asleep and you have a meeting, your boss won’t care for what you were awake; rather, he would scold you for being late.
Work is necessary but not more than life. If you feel you’re not able to be productive at your current job, leave it because you deserve better. Life is more important than work; however, we’re not discussing the severe cases here where you have nothing to eat and you’re enjoying your life. It’s for those people who are well off but still working day and night just because they want to earn more and more.
Able To Give Attention Where Needed
When we begin to balance our work and daily life, we experience how it feels when we become the reason for someone’s happiness. This is actually the natural happiness which cannot be bought from anywhere around the world. Moreover, you also feel delighted when you see people wanting to meet you, hang out with you, just because they can spend some time in your presence. This is priceless and more precious than our work life.
Have you ever seen the happiness in your mother’s eyes when she see you coming back from work? She rarely question about anything but ask for your wellbeing. This is what attention can do to your life. If you spend some time with your siblings and parents, believe me, the happiness on your face will let you know why money is nothing when compared with happiness.
High Morale
Who doesn’t want a boost in his/her morale? Rarely anyone would say no. It’s because high morale is the reason behind pure relaxation which hardly comes from anything else except spirituality.
The work-life balance often results into High Morale, and the primary reason behind it is the stress free life, because when we’re under zero stress, we often tend to be more productive than under stress. So, we should avoid the heavy work load and focus on balancing our work and daily life.
Very valuable post, and often very hard to accomplish. But in the end it s even a sign of seniority to be able to assess and communicate what amount of workload one is able to handle, and look for people who can support.
And then it's also important how one spends their private live, family and Steemit should remain in belance.
@conceptskip
Thank you for kind support and good comment.
While whiling reading this beautiful work of yours @flash07, my able friend, a song popped in my mind 😊. I do not know though if you are a fan of hip-hop/rap musics 😀. It reminded me of the WORK HARD, PLAY HARD rap track done by Snoop Lion and Whiz Khalifa almost a decade back.
But here, it is much like you are emphasising work considerably hard and live life better to enjoy the proceeds.
Brava!
Curated. Thanks crypto.poitr for sharing this...😍 Very helpful. I have shared it too so as to help anyone considering jack of all trade as the best option to have a second thought.
@jodekss
In songs I kind of like the songs which have good music with good lyrics. I will definitely check that song you recommend.
Also thank you for your kind support and sharing your views with us.
Alright!
Always welcome.
Hi @flash07 actually whole article is like amazing and I saved it already but I wanted to mantion some one liners that you used in article which I like the most .
Yes agree. What you will do with money if you have no one to share your happiness with. Money can get you many things but not love of your family. With earning money it's important that we spend time with our family.
100% true. We are doing work because we get good life. Not living life because we earn good money.
Yes I have seen that my friend :)
Thanks again for amazing article.
Nice one my friend.
Great :)
Thanks again for your kind support and amazing comment @techbuzz07
you most likely must have experience this first hand....... you should have seen the love and excitement in my mums eyes.
As true as this is... the bosses most time give a work load that keeps you of you rest time...... this is a major problem with emerging economies.

Oh! good to know.

Have a great day @flashy07
Good to know my friend.
Have a great day to you too @ajongcrypto
I know what you mean. My balance is terrible at the moment. While I like my job for the most part it's shift work with no set roster. I have two weeks on shifts on the wall working anywhere from 5am to midnight.
And thats what I hate. It makes it impossible to set up anything. To join an activity or have a night out with your friends. Most people work 9 to 5 on a set schedule so everything is planned around these. I can make it to somethings but find it impossible to join anything longer term.

Believe me most people are in same situation. Everyone wants to prove that they are doing the job, doing work day and night so boss sees the hard work they re doing and they get promoted or get raised accordingly. When I started my carrier I was in same situation - I want to prove my self, working day and night, and it was matter of time that I realize that I am doing something wrong as I got so many health issue. Then I gave important to my health to recover, then I balanced everything work+family+health (took some time to balance all things as I was doing all wrong for 2 years).
Hope you will figure out how to balance all.
Thank You for your kind support and comment.
Take care.
No problem. Can you tell me something though?
When you copy my text to your comment, what commands do you use to make that segment with the vertical line alongside it. I've seen it in a lot of comments but don't know how to do it myself?
This will help you my friend.

Truly work life balance is a complicated trade off but is necessary for a healthy life and also healthy relationships
Thank You @mukund83 for your kind words and support.
Yes my friend but most of people don't understand this.
Yes my friend @mukund83, That is pretty amazing quote.
You mentioned so many one liner quotes with great meaning @flash07
Thank You @techbuzz07
So many people fail to see this fact
I am still trying to explain why i have rejected many jobs to my parents.
Because i know what i want from life and geting a job may just stop me from doing all that. Will my parents ever understand. We hopefully in the future
Great post @flash07
After doing job for 3 years, I decided to do freelancing full time ( with job I was doing freelancing but sometimes I get 1 hour, sometimes 2 hours or not a time at all). I decided but it's important that my parents understand the same. I thought it will be too hard but when I discussed all things with my parents that what I am doing at current job, what I want to do and all - my parents simply said that do whatever makes you happy. I was shocked at that moment (my parents were supportive all the time but I thought they will not agree with this because we were not that good financially). I left the job and doing freelancing now.
But same situation not worked with my cousin brother as his parents not supported him and he doing the job.
Wish you great success and I hope your parents will understand your situation in future.
Even I am sure that they will understand my friend :)

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.
I read whole article @maxiemoses-eu & then it motivated me and I started to think about more about my regular life.
I liked the whole experience.
