  You may be struggling to keep a healthy balance in your life

  Image Source

  Your life is out of balance. Whether it's work, family or hobbies, one or more aspects of your life are being neglected. There may be an imbalance between your personal to-do list and your other obligations in life. Here are a few things you can do to help improve your lifes balance: 1. Accept that there is no 'perfect' work-life balance. Don't strive for the perfect schedule; strive for a realistic one. Some days, you might focus more on work, while others you might have more time and energy to pursue your hobbies or spend time with your loved ones. Balance is achieved over time, not each day. 2. Make time for yourself and your loved ones. While your job is important, it shouldn't be your entire life. You were an individual before taking this position, and you should prioritize the activities or hobbies that make you happy. 3. Take care of yourself. Unplug, take a bath, meditate, pray, read a book. Make sure you are eating properly and get up every hour or so to walk around the office. Your overall physical, emotional and mental health should be your main concern.

  A rocky road to resilience

  Image Source

  We've all been there. Resilience is tough. Your results show that you isolate yourself during tough times, and the lack of support and other perspectives means you may tend to stay focused on the negative. Change isn't easy and sometimes it seems easier to just give up than to keep on moving. Here are some tips to help you grow your resilience: 1. Accept that change is a part of living. Certain goals may no longer be attainable as a result of adverse situations. Accepting circumstances that cannot be changed can help you focus on circumstances that you can alter. 2. Keep things in perspective. Even when facing very painful events, try to consider the stressful situation in a broader context and keep a long-term perspective. Avoid blowing the event out of proportion. 3. Take care of yourself. Pay attention to your own needs and feelings. Engage in activities that you enjoy and find relaxing. Exercise regularly. Taking care of yourself helps to keep your mind and body primed to deal with situations that require resilience.

  Strong level of resilience

  Image Source

  You are doing awesome! Resilience is tough but you seem to have a good handle on it. You know that change is a part of life and tend not to spend too much time dwelling on things that can't be undone or changed. You seem to adapt well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, or significant sources of stress. To ensure that you continue your strong resilience, remember these few tips. 1) Move toward your goals. Develop some realistic goals. Do something regularly — even if it seems like a small accomplishment — that enables you to move toward your goals. Instead of focusing on tasks that seem unachievable, ask yourself, "What's one thing I know I can accomplish today that helps me move in the direction I want to go?" 2) Maintain a hopeful outlook. An optimistic outlook enables you to expect that good things will happen in your life. Try visualizing what you want, rather than worrying about what you fear. 3) Take care of yourself. Pay attention to your own needs and feelings. Engage in activities that you enjoy and find relaxing. Exercise regularly. Taking care of yourself helps to keep your mind and body primed to deal with situations that require resilience.

  You maintain balance in life well!

  Image Source

  You are doing an amazing job at keeping your life well balanced! It can definitely be tricky, especially when it comes to work, hobbies, children, and having fun but you seem to have a good handle on it. You know where to draw the line and have no problem unplugging from one thing to spend time with your other priorities. To help maintain this balanced lifestyle, reminder these tips: 1) Keep in mind that balance is not a final goal, but an ongoing process. Being balanced does not mean being calm, relaxed, and content all of the time. Balance often occurs only for a fleeting moment, but it can reappear over and over again. Rather than trying to stay balanced, think of yourself as practicing balancing, over and over again. 2) Be specific. It’s more useful to say, “I’m going to spend an hour alone with each child sometime this week,” than to say, “I’m going to have quality time with each of my children.” Quality time is a great concept, but it’s also a vague one. And since it’s so vague, it’s hard to know whether or not you’ve accomplished that goal, which makes it hard to feel in balance.Same goes with any goal you set. 3) Make time to reassess yourself on a daily basis. None of us can really know how well we are doing with change in our lives unless we are willing to reassess our position. Don’t feel that your decisions are made in concrete; if something feels that it isn’t working, be willing to look at a new decision.

For instance, you have a good opinion of your abilities but recognize your flaws. When self-esteem is healthy and grounded in reality, it's hard to have too much of it. By having healthy self esteem, you probably posses one or more of these: 1) You are assertive in expressing your needs and opinions2) You are confident in your ability to make decisions3) You are able to form secure and honest relationships — and less likely to stay in unhealthy ones4) You have realistic in your expectations and less likely to be overcritical of yourself and others5) More resilient and better able to weather stress and setbacks

  You are lacking self esteem

  Image Source

  We've all been there. Loving yourself and seeing you worth can be hard. Low self-esteem is characterized by a lack of confidence and feeling badly about oneself. With with low self-esteem you often feel unlovable, awkward, or incompetent. We hear you. You deserve to recognize your worth. Try these tips: 1. Be mindful. We can’t change something if we don’t recognize that there is something to change. By simply becoming aware of our negative self-talk, we begin to distance ourselves from the feelings it brings up. This enables us to identify with them less. Without this awareness, we can easily fall into the trap of believing our self-limiting talk. 2. "If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”- Albert Einstein. Stop comparing yourself to others! We all have our strengths and weaknesses. Someone may be a brilliant musician, but a horrible cook. Neither quality defines their core worth. Recognize what your strengths are and the feelings of confidence give you, especially in times of doubt. 3. Try to remember that we are all born with infinite potential and equal worth as human beings. That we are anything less is a false belief that we have learned over time. Therefore, with hard work and self-compassion, self-destructive thoughts and beliefs can be unlearned.

  You seem to be lacking a few social connections. This may leave you feeling awkward, alone and sad. We understand and we have been there.

Social isolation arising from a lack of meaningful connection with others can result in deterioration of well-being with negative consequences for health. We know that you will overcome this. Try out these tips to help build your social connects: 1) Remember that it’s not the quantity of social relationships but the quality that really matters. An introvert might need just one not to feel lonely, whereas an extrovert might require two, three or four friends. 2) One of the best ways to forge and maintain friendships is through built-in regularity — something you can plan around that is always on the schedule at least twice a month – perhaps meeting with a support group on a regular basis, or gathering around the table to play games. Whether it be big or small, try to create come consistency in your relationships 3) Maintain contact with existing friends and reconnect with your old friends.

  Your life may lack purpose

  Image Source

  We get it. It can be hard to understand just how much purpose you have in your life. When you lack a sense of purpose, this affects all aspects of your overall mental health. Try these tips to help you find your sense of purpose: 1) Explore your Interests. Consider the conversations you enjoy holding with people the most when you’re meeting face-to-face. The things you like to talk about and the things you enjoy sharing on social media may reveal the things that give you purpose in life. 2) Change up your routine! Having a boring repetitive routine plays a big role in lacking a sense of purpose. It can start to feel like everyday is the same day on repeat. Try getting up at a different time, going to the gym in the evening vs the morning or try new foods for dinner. Even small changes will help you feel like your life is more than just a broken record. 3) Discover What You Love to Do. Simply thinking about what you truly love to do can help you find your purpose as well. Consider what type of skills, talents, and passions you bring to the table. Then, brainstorm how you might turn your passion into something meaningful to you. If you can't think of anything that you love doing- try new things. Putting yourself out there can certainly be hard but it will all be worth it when you find something that you love doing.
