WTW - On Balance

Uncategorized | Tuesday August 4 2009 7:34 pm |

How do you balance school and work and friends?

How do you compartmentalize? Or prioritize? This is important to learn now.

Is it an unreal expectation to be awesome at everything.

Do things overlap? Can being a good career-woman actually allow us to be better wives and mothers?

How does the concept of “wearing different hats” even work?

Does it have to do with the “hat”?
Does it have to do with the person?

What is SUPERMOM? Isn’t it important to have a community of women? Isn’t it a city that raises the child, and not just one woman alone?

Expectations are so important, seeing your limitations and seeing where things need to give….

Sleeping Habits

Eating right

Relationships: Easier or harder… They are a nice release…

Balance is like waves, it is really unrealistic to say we can be balanced all the time

School

Work

Fitness

Health

Social Life

Family

Church

Down Time

Entertainment

Why is hard to say no to some things?
Based in insecurity… What if they don’t invite me again? What if I am missing out on something really awesome or something?

Maybe it is just being flexible with your expectations… don’t be stagnant, but don’t self-hate

It is really pre-eminitley important to be connected with people. The only way to maintain sanity is to be connected with people and things. There is a balance to be found between having those connections and not having any connections at all.

It is very important to have things that you identify with

Things you are good at doing… What if we all just said “I know I am really really good at 3 things and I am the go to person for these things…”

Can we only do one thing at a time?

But do we need to be well-rounded.

Every time we do something we are giving up something else we could be doing……

“”Balance comes from priorities””

Priorities can come from moral compasses: church, philosophy.

Peace can be achieved when you figure out what works for you… then prioritize those things and then you can balance by elimination and choice with little guilt and maximum peace.
