Work-Life Balance For Health And Sanity

Work-Life Balance For Health And Sanity Ive been working pretty hard since I got laid off last year (over 15 months) and havent really taken a vacation. And for the three years before that, because of my roles and responsibilities I hadnt taken my vacation time (I thought I was rolling it over, but when I got laid off they informed me that since I didnt use it, I lost it). It was interesting to meet with Dave Perry this week at Kennedys Recruiting 2007 conference in Las Vegas where we talked a little about running hard. He said that he is enforcing a personal policy of taking regular vacations. Man that sounded good! Especially now, as I write this post I am running on 3 hours of sleep (very early flight to Chicago) and not much food Im very tired, physically and mentally! This summer Im going to force myself to take two vacations one campout and one something else (havent figured it out yet). But I think its healthy for you (as my reader or JibberJobber user), for me, for my wife and kids, etc. I just cant run and run and run. I know its hard to slow down, or do something different. But I hope that you too can make sure that you get the proper balance of things for you and those around you. I dont think Ive ever brought bible scripture into my blog but this is one of my favorites, and it is a good starting-point for figuring out what your balance could/should be: And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man. Luke 2:52 This shows four areas to consider for having a balanced life: wisdom knowledge, mental, etc. stature physical fitness, health favour with God spirituality favour with man social skills This scripture has had a profound effect on my life for a long time not that Im good at balance but it gives me a starting point to think about with. Hopefully its good food for thought for you, too!
