Work vs quality time. How to reach a balance?

Do you spend a lot of time working?
Even though you like your job, can’t you find a way to have time for recreation or relaxation?
Do you feel that if you do not work, you are not useful or you cannot live well, since for that you need a constant income?
It happens to all of us at some point, but be careful to fall into your own network and stop enjoying the good times in life.
Whether you work for a company or have your own business or undertaking, it is important that you know how to separate your work time, your time alone or with your family.
As much as you love your job, and as good as you feel while doing it. The truth is, we all need a break.
A weekend, a month’s vacation. Or just at least a couple of hours a day to relax.
You know that we are right.
So do not be fooled by the idea that you work a lot because that makes you happy, because surely at some point you have wanted to take a break.
Do not worry, take it when necessary, this is allowed and favors your well-being.
Another lie we tell ourselves is that if we do not work hard we will not achieve anything.
It’s okay to work toward your goals, because we understand that many things require money.
But what is not right is that you put your life on pause just to work.
Have you ever thought about how many hours you really work a day?
We believe that we adhere to a schedule but most of the time we are answering emails or talking to clients or bosses even during dinner or a family outing.
Do you know something? The world can wait.
You work enough already, allow yourself to enjoy the process, make it part of your planning.
Here we will leave you some recommendations so that you can achieve it:
* Establish a work schedule and stick to it. No excess overtime.
* Have a Smartphone for work and other staff, this will allow you to completely disconnect from work.
From all that money you save and produce by working, reserve a little or enough to pay you days off
If you work at home, take at least an hour a day to go out, recreation, or exercise.If you have the possibility, delegate so that your business can continue to function while you are away.And finally, DO NOT feel guilty for taking breaks, you deserve them, you need them and you have every right to enjoy them, AVOID feeling unproductive.
A balance between work and quality of life will give you many satisfactions.

And remember if you feel tired, take care of your mind.
If the mind is healed, the body will follow.
Give yourself space.
