A Time to Work and A Time to Play!

There are very few aspects in life that require as much balance as
juggling the nine to five work schedule plus your relationship, kids,
home, and personal lives. Whether you are single, married with
children, or married without children each of these situations has
their own individual challenges when it comes to balancing the
work-life load. Utilizing work-life balance affirmations will help you
to master the demands of the work environment while still maintaining a
healthy “play” life.
The Single Life
If you’re single, you may be making the erroneous conclusion that work
is the definition of your life achievements. The argument for this
conclusion is that you live alone, therefore there is no one to
appreciate whether you make your bed in the morning, or pick up your
dirty clothes. So, you may define your own worth in how successful you
are in the work environment. This translates into long hours at the
office, with your “play” time consisting of making contacts at
after-hour business socials.
There is considerable wisdom in the old adage “All work and no play
makes Jack - or Jill - a dull boy” (or girl, of course). We all must
balance both our work and their play life with positive work-life
balance affirmations. For example: “I enjoy spending quality time with
myself apart from work.” or “My job reflects that I am an intelligent,
passionate person.” or “I choose to invest time in the things I like to
do.”
Married without Children
A working couple with no children may lead to many nights such as the
following: A king size bed with two very intense individuals, each with
a laptop and a myriad of paperwork scattered next to them, and one of
the many late night shows playing in the background. These individuals
need positive work-life balance affirmations in order for them not to
lose focus on each other, nor themselves. For example: “I appreciate
the fact that my spouse and I both have careers.” or “I appreciate the
time we have as a family and I actively seek out more time for just
us.” or “I am enriched by both my work and my play.”
Married with Children
Finally , there is the challenge of balancing work with a family with
children. It is a balance of not only work and the life of the family;
but also balancing their own personal time in the mix. Their positive
work-life balance affirmations might be as follows: “I choose to set
work aside and spend time with my family free from thoughts of work.”
or “I cherish the quiet moments with the love of my life.” or “I
appreciate the opportunity to be with my loving family.” or “I love
spending my time off playing with my children.”
A list of positive affirmations to help you achieve your goal for work-life balance is below:
? I keep work and play in a healthy balance.
? I deserve to spend time relaxing.
? I deserve to spend time enjoying my family.
? I have a balanced life.
? I cherish the time I have to enjoy my spouse.
? I enjoy my work and the excellent job that I do.
? I enjoy my time to play with my children.
