A somewhat unpopular opinion:
I don’t really believe in work-life balance.
At least not in the way it’s often portrayed.
As an entrepreneur, there are seasons when I work long hours, push hard toward a goal, meet deadlines, solve problems, and give my business everything I’ve got. Then there are seasons when I intentionally slow down, travel, spend time with family and friends, and recharge.
For me, balance isn’t something I achieve every day. It’s something I create over time.
Some weeks require more of me, actually ALL of me. Some weeks allow me to give more to myself.
I’ve stopped chasing the idea of perfect balance and started focusing on alignment instead, being fully present in whatever season I’m in. Right now I am in a season of growth and expansion in my business, so needless to say a lot of me is required. So I am very intentional with what I’m choosing to do with my time. My life has become extremely curated because time is the resource that I cannot replenish, I cherish it and value it, so I only fill it with experiences and people that are truly important to me.
That’s what has worked for me.
