Do not pursue work-life balance!

Do not pursue work-life balance!

The expression “work-life balance” suggests a trade-off between “work” and “life”.

It implies that work is not life... Is it death then?? ⚰

I prefer to pursue ‘life balance’ = harmonious existence according to our deep values and interests. 🕉

I find four life dimensions* helpful to consider: 🧘 **spiritual **(soul, karma, ...) ❤ **emotional **(relationships, love, connection, ...) 🧠 **mental **(brain, knowledge, experience, ...) 💪 **physical **(exercise, sleep, nutrition, ...)

What kind of balance do you want in your life? ⚖

*And where is work?? Somewhere in all four dimensions, hopefully! 🙏
