Boundaries for Balance

The zipping pace of modern life doesn’t offer much in the way of balance. We work too much, enjoy too little, and rarely have time to invest in the activities, events or causes that feed our soul. We wear ourselves out, stressing over paychecks and promotions, all the while wishing we could take that Reiki class, join that book club, or go get that massage.

Yes, the paychecks and promotions matter, but if they’re ruling your world, leaving no room for pleasure or self-care, it’s time to draw up some boundaries.

Create Boundaries That Allow for a Life of Balance

Coworkers, family and friends aren’t the only ones who can cross the line and suck your energy and time. Often, we treat ourselves worse than any outside source. If you’re feeling overworked and thinly stretched, it’s time to sit down, breathe, think, and create some boundaries. Think about what you need and want. Have you been dying to take more walks in the forest? Switch your work schedule? Join a meditation class? Or maybe you just need a little more time to rest. Write up a schedule that allows for balance of business and pleasure and then manifest it. Cut down your work hours, volunteer somewhere, get your nails done or your tarot read. Do what you have to and then go do what you want to. Grow accustomed to saying no “No, I won’t stay late at the office” “No, I’m not going to hold Thanksgiving at my house, again” “No, I can’t pick your daughter up from school.” Whatever task or action drains your lifeblood just thinking about it, just say a polite no.
