Have you ever gotten to the point when your activities on Steemit were starting to have some effect on your “real life”?　No I’m not talking about a bigger crypto or FIAT wallet, I wish I was there already.

What I actually mean is a changing mood or atmosphere at home because you are spending half a day in front of your computer trying to create some world-changing blog or finally finding the right words to leave that comment on that whale’s post which will bring that big upvote you were longing for all the time.

As we all know writing takes time, and no successful writer or blogger had it’s success fallen into their lap. Here on Steemit too, to get acknowledged requires the need to devote a lot of your free and spare time to writing, making links, building your community and to checking all the other great content which is out there.

If you have full time job and maybe a family to take care off too, your day will just not have enough hours anymore, therefore you are going to cut sleep and maybe unconsciously you are putting off the interaction with your loved ones.

Of course being here on the blockchain is super exiting and tempting, but how much are we willing to put in to make it?

Is it worth risking getting into some arguments with your partner? Showing him or her your back all the time while talking with isn’t their favorite view of you I guess.

And also missing part of their talk because we are so focused on our articles won’t help at all.

Especially if you have some little ones at home we need to be careful not to let slide our duties and responsibilities and to be there when you have to answer a smile or a request to play. We need to find the time to be joyfully hit with their favorite toys because that is how they will show their affection and we are supposes to show our love. Am I wrong here?

Do I really want to miss out on all of this?

Definitely not! But I have been coming closer to the tipping point and I surely want to avoid stepping into the red zone. I have seen the yellow card and noticed I need to find the right balance between being around in my new blockchain community and being together with my real-life team.

I don’t know whether you guys out there are having similar problems and trouble. Please share your experiences with us, how did Steemit affect your personal life, in good or in bad ways?

How do you avoid becoming to absorbed by your online activities and how do you manage to play the same role at home but at the same time you will be able to maintain a steady presence and occurrence here on Steemit?

I still need to work it out for myself, what is the best way to take care of both aspects of my life without ignoring what is really relevant, what should be the most vital part of my life!

I hope you all can find a healthy balance and a good way to harmonize all your activities.

Especially now when x-mas is knocking on the door and the year-end holidays are approaching, it might be a good time to pause to think. Let us all appreciate what we have already achieved and reached in life so far. Every new morning is the beginning of another new chapter and every evening we will reach another goal. Don't forget it is not about who is the fastest, someday we will all be gone. Keep this in mind when you start overheating again.

In life, only the way can be the goal!!

Therefore, thank you everybody for being on this great journey together. I'm thankful for all the advice and help I got and I hope I was able to give something back to you. I need to reflect and definitely a recharge. There is still some work to do next week and I also will not give up spending my time with all you awesome people. But I also know, the people right next to me must have the highest priority. I'm sure the same applies to you.

Peace - Merry Christmas bredrin and sistrin!!
