There is No Such Thing as Work-Life Balance

We go around looking for the holy grail of “work-life balance,” and fail to find it again and again. It’s fleeting at best, it’s the promised land that seems as far away as ever as we paddle furiously towards it, trying so hard to get there.

We think that, if only we did things “right,” we could have this magical equilibrium between our personal and business lives. One that makes us and everyone around us happy.

By definition, however, balance is a state of micro-adjustments, not a single, perfect, static state that you can hold indefinitely.

Type A? Overachiever? Perfectionist? Psssst. Over here!

Health is multi-faceted. I believe we need to eat well and live well to be truly healthy: career or self-expression of productivity, physical movement, relationships, sense of self – otherwise known as spirit – need to be in good order for true health and wellness to manifest. Food is just one way we feed ourselves. These other parts of our lives also serve to feed us. If broken, they will drain and deplete rather than feed.

Are you a Type A overachiever? A perfectionist?

Do you drive yourself to your limits every day – mentally, physically, emotionally?

This is a topic near and dear to me. Chronic stress paved the way for my severe autoimmune conditions to set in suddenly (well, it had been building up for years, but I didn’t know that at the time), and managing that stress through my nutrition and lifestyle choices has helped me get my health and life back.
