Balance Health and Work

I recently started working full-time for a past client and have been trying to balance out classes and work. Because I wanted to do well in the first week I spent almost all my time working and not even being able to open the tabs to my classes. The workload started coming and has also caused me to over time and stay up. Which resulted in beginning the new week with a cough.

I never realized how when I focus on worrying and putting my all into one thing, I can end up neglecting all the other important things. Which indeed happened! My position in work was fine but my classes and health were suffering from it. I was starting to lose in the other areas that I was supposed to prioritize as well.

This has taught me to value organizing and pacing oneself. I now set a timer in between work, to give my body time to stretch, walk around and simply move. Because if I don’t, I can stay seated down all day. I set timers as well to take the dogs out, and at the same time go to refill my water and many other things. So self reminder, don’t forget to relax, pace yourself, and don’t be too hard on you. Find the balance in your work life and don’t forget to think about you as well.
