Balance and relaxation is very important to your life, but too much of a good thing is usually too much of a good thing.
We either produce or consume, and we just need to balance out enough “down time” to get refreshed in order to continue to produce.
In coaching employees and listening to them, I’ve heard too many people tell me about their spouse or partner not working or doing anything that will help better their living conditions.
From “they will look for a job” which they have been saying for the past year, or “they are too good for that type of work”… it all seems to baffle me.
The fact is, “Once you start coasting, there is only one way to go and that’s downhill”.
So you can take a breather, but understand that you also need to get back to it, once the breather is over.
Yours in a little effort – Coach
I have “been there done that” I was guaranteed unemployment at full benefits for 1 1/2 years no questions asked. I took 4 months off and it drove me crazy I had to get back to work. it took me two days to land that job, no excuses if you want to work you can find a job. I have also been to the other extreme “that job is below me”. I made a move to be closer to my family and in order to make that move I had to make a choice I could move within 300 miles and take a job I had been building a career in or settle for what I could find. I chose to settle for what I could find I was a computer operator with four years experience and took a job washing dishes in a restaurant to make ends meet. soon I was working in two restaurants trying to make it. You have to sacrifice for the things you want in life, everyone has that choice some are just more motivated to get what they want no matter what it takes to get there. I was lucky it worked out for me I made my way in life and was able to spend time with family members. I have recently made another move but now I have a job that I enjoy and people around me I care about and they are more than a family to me.
