This document provides information about work-life balance. It discusses:
1. Definitions of work-life balance from different sources that emphasize having control over one's work and a fulfilled life both inside and outside of work.
2. Factors that can contribute to an imbalance such as working long hours, taking work home, feeling stressed or tired due to work responsibilities, and missing quality time with family and friends.
3. Potential consequences of an imbalance like reduced satisfaction, increased stress, poorer health, and decreased performance at work. The importance of self-reflection, goal-setting, time management, and adapting one's balance as needs change over time are emphasized.

A one-day seminar was arranged for the ‘Associates’ of the Nagarjuna Fertilizers and Chemicals Ltd. Kakinada. The topics chosen were: Work Life Balance and Time Management. These two topics are intimately connected, in the sense, that better time management leads to better work-life balance. Hence, the justification.
‘Balance’ is a very important concept. Balancing different, may be conflicting, aspects involves a better understanding, willingness to adjust, prioritize, may be compromise, sometimes, postpone for the present, and so on. The generally perceived conflict between personal life and career must be positively appreciated, to begin with. Issues such as, What is Work, What is Life, Why Balance, What happens if we do not or cannot balance, the consequences and the ill effects of an imbalance and more importantly how to approach the problem of balance – have been touched upon.
The work-life balance training program includes the following solutions to better help manage stress, time and personal and professional balance.
• Work life Balance defined: what it means, what it doesn't mean
• Achievement and Enjoyment as the basis for life-time goals
• Accepting responsibility for your own work and life results
• Staying in focus despite interruptions
• A method for staying in balance every day
• Improved productivity through quick and effective planning and organization • Connecting daily activities to work-life goals
• Strategies that improve team communication
• Effectively adjusting your work-life balance over time

All I ask is that you take your time reading this book, take it all in at your own pace, and try not to get overwhelmed, as there are several ways you can do things when it comes to living a life with holistic wellness. There is no right or wrong way to think about what you feel you are most comfortable doing.
This is something I felt the need to share because of the times we are currently living in. Now being in my early sixties, and given time to reflect, I believe it will be helpful to the world.
All that’s left now is for you to go through this guide and decide what path you want to take, then give it a go!
My sincere prayer is that you will find this information helpful in giving you some clarity and an enlightening purpose for your life that will be beneficial to not only you, but your family and community as well.
Take 15 - 45 minutes to brain dump everything you can think of on a blank sheet of paper.
This is where you can first start to utilize the benefits of writing in your journal. Your journal is your private place to write down your thoughts to help organize your life, clear your head, and prioritize your thoughts and plan your life, before you go to your planner to schedule your day accordingly.
In particular, writing what you may have just dreamed about the night before. Start your day with the focus of an eagle by writing out everything that’s in your heart and mind.
Because we’re so busy with everything in life as a whole, we can get overwhelmed and stressed out. Brain dumping will help out greatly in this regard.
Because brain dumping clears your mind. Recording all of your thoughts and feelings someplace else allows you to get it out of your head, to stop thinking about it. The entire process also helps you determine which thoughts, feelings, and ideas are important and which ones you can let go of.
“Mental health” refers to your overall psychological well-being. It includes the way you feel about yourself, the quality of your relationships, and your ability to manage your feelings and deal with difficulties.
Anyone can experience mental or emotional health problems — and over a lifetime, many of us will. I believe I read somewhere that one in five adults in the western world live with mental health or substance abuse problems.
Even if that is not precisely so, we can all agree that there are too many people who unfortunately experience these difficulties.
Here are 10 tips that can help you elevate your mood, become more resilient, and enjoy life more: make social connections; stay active; talk to someone; appeal to your senses; take up a relaxation practice; make leisure and contemplation a priority; talk to someone; Eat a brain-healthy diet to support strong mental health; don’t skimp on sleep; find purpose and meaning for your life; and get help if you need it.
Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.
7. What is Work-Life Balance?
“Work-life balance is about people
having a measure of control over when,
where and how they work.
It is achieved when an individual‟s right
to a fulfilled life inside and outside work
is accepted and respected as the norm
– to the mutual benefit of the individual,
business and society.”
The Work Foundation

runs more smoothly and requires
less energy to go faster and farther
when the wheels are in perfect alignment,
you perform better when your
thoughts, feelings, emotions, goals, and
values
are in balance."

30.

BALANCE ZONE
AMOUNT OF PRESSURE
Boredom Mistakes
Apathy Poor Judgment

more difficult than males

motherhood mandate
which NATURE & CULTURE
impose on the female parent.

TO FIND A LIFE.
WHEN YOU FIND IT,
YOU CAN THINK OF
HOW TO JUGGLE & BALANCE
BOTH.
35.
36. Know Yourself
Write a mission statement for
yourself by considering the following
questions:
What is most important in my life?
What do I want to be in my life?
What will I need to do to become that?
How do I want to be remembered
by my family?
What do I want to be known for
by my office colleagues ?

on your life, dreams, and goals.

40. Your best individual work-life balance
will vary over time, often on a daily basis.
The right balance for you today
will probably be different for you tomorrow.
The right balance for you when you are single
will be different when you marry,
or if you have children;
when you start a new career versus
when you are nearing retirement.
There is no perfect, one-size fits all, balance
you should be striving for.
The best work-life balance
is different for each of us
because we all have different priorities and
different lives.
