So when you look at this, do you think the word “balance” means that everything should be completely balanced 50/50? – your work life, family life, social life, your me time, all in perfect harmony!
But as most of us know this is rarely the case so what should you look for when looking at the work/ life balance?
For me, it is more of a healthy balance than being something that you need to strive for being the optimum 50/50 balance. I have always lived & worked by the philosophy of the 80/20 rule which simply means that for 80% of the time you live well, you exercise regularly, eat well, you make sure your effort and effectiveness with your work is as best it can be, You are the best partner, father, mate you can be.
But you gotta live, so that is the 20% rule where if you feel like eating that extra piece of chocolate, you feel like having one more beer or wine then don’t feel guilty about it but just have a mindset that you need to make sure you make up for that the next day or the day after. Get back on the bike as soon as you can!
From a training & exercise point of view, such a pretty simple philosophy that if we are too much either way we can, “blow a gasket” and that’s when we can feel overwhelmed or develop unhealthy habits which is not good for ourselves & our family.
