I’m Never Going To Be Someone Who Has Balance In Life

I’m very much an all or nothing kinda girl, I don’t stop. When I commit to something or someone, I do whatever it takes to make sure that I give it my all and I achieve everything physically possible. It doesn’t matter how long it takes, it doesn’t matter how many hours I need to put in, I will make it work. The only problem with that though, is I don’t give myself a break. My husband has a joke with me when I do so much all day and he says you need a rest – I go, what’s that?

When it comes to finding balance I’m literally the worst. I mean when it comes to taking a break I’ll say oh it’s just a few more minutes and then I’ll take a break. 4 hours later I’m still going. Even at the weekends, I’m still pretty much full throttle doing something else, and I wish I could say I was tired, but I’m always driving myself to do better – be better. Even at school I never had the balance right. Schoolwork would come first before going out, I was way too much of a goodie goodie. And as a teen going into my GCSE’s balancing friends was a rough one.

When someone asked me the other day – how do you manage everything? That question is what actually prompted this post. I don’t manage everything and I don’t have balance, and that is a problem.

I’m never going to be that person that has the perfect balance in my life, between work, my marriage, my friendships, my family and everything else. I wish I could be that person, but I don’t think I will be.

I go away for the weekend on the 20th, I’m super excited, but I’m currently sitting here like, oh my gosh I have so much to do, what will happen while I’m away, how will I stay on top of everything I need to do. I mean I know my life won’t cave in on those few days but honestly I can’t help but sit there and be like, honestly what am I going to do?

I really think I’d need more hours in the day just to get everything done and make time for everything. I mean seriously. Imagine if there were more hours in the day, I might actually get a little bit more sleep, I might be a little more chilled out, you know add in a few others things that we would actually like to do but don’t have time for normally.

To be honest I think everyone would want to find a balance, that would be the dream right? Being able to have time for everything we would want and need in our lives, but it just isn’t possible.

You should never feel like you need to stop everything just to find the balance, you don’t need to do that. But you do need to listen to your body, listen to what your body is telling you and just remember what is important. If you need a break, then have a break, don’t push yourself, give yourself a moment and don’t forget that you can work hard, but you need to enjoy life too. Life is way too short to not to learn to find some kind of balance in life – that is something I need to learn.
