Like many work at home moms, chances are you feel like you are always running in circles while juggling more balls than most people can simply carry. This might be an accurate description of your daily schedule, but it doesn’t have to be the pervading feeling in your life. With healthy work-life balance, you can perform a hundred tasks, while taking care of several people, without losing sense of yourself in the mix. Here are a few tips for keeping a healthy work-life balance in the midst of your busy schedule:
1. Remember to take a little time for yourself each day. Whether you are savoring a cup of tea or enjoying a brisk stroll through the neighborhood, a little alone time can help to clear your mind and reset your patience for the next challenge. During this time, you can put away your cares for the day and relax. This might also be a good time to process experiences and learn from the ups and downs of your day.
2. Get plenty of rest every night. The body needs rest to function at its best, and you need a body in peak shape to meet the many demands you face every day. 6-8 hours of quality sleep will help you to concentrate better, remember better, and feel more patient and centered. When a person skimps on sleep, their immune systems suffer and they get sick much more easily.
3. Eat healthy, balanced meals. Too many work at home moms use the kitchen only when they are preparing meals for someone else. Even if your kids are at school and your husband is away at work, you still need to take time to eat something nutritious and tasty to keep your energy level up and your urge to snack in check.
These three tips can help you to create a healthy balance between your personal life and work. Establishing this balance can help you to find greater joy in even the busiest of days.
