Balance is another term that we often mistake for meaning “equal”. Work/life balance is not about spending the same amount of time and energy on work and “life”. It’s finding an equilibrium, a still point that allows for a sense of stability, even though things are still in flux around us. Likewise, equilibrium does not mean “equal” - where the equilibrium point is could be 80% of A and 20% of B or any other combination. It simply means that there is a stable quantity of each.
I’ve been seeing a recurring pattern in my conversations and coaching lately. I hear a lot of stories about feeling stuck because of competing desires. At first glance, it seems like FOMO (fear of missing out): “If I go for option A, that means letting go of option B. What if I don’t end up liking option A?”
I know that I am most in danger of burnout symptoms during this stretch. When I’m stuck inside an office with no windows and hurry from home to car to office and back due to the blustery winds, I feel drained and perpetually annoyed. If you struggle with this time of year, I hope these tips will help you make it to spring with greater ease and joy!
