Had a lot on my plate lately, like many I suppose, trying to finish my thesis to some hard deadlines, working with my awesome clients, business, making time for my wife, and my training. The thought behind this blog was to say how I have managed to balance all of this, but to be honest at times I have not. There have been times when the stress and workload have been too much, my diet has not been great, and my training has had to drop off as the priority needed to be elsewhere.
But you know what? That’s ok, because this has been about getting my study finished as that is the culmination of some large changes in my life. And that is important to me. However, I have been able to manage this still, while trying to maintain a balance that works for now, so how have I done that?
Being flexible. We often think that there needs to be a set time, I hear “I need an hour to workout” all the time. But what I have done is even take a 15 to 30 minute break where I get in some light lifting or work on my injury rehab, even stretching or going for a walk. Taking breaks when my mind says enough is extremely important. It’s easy when I’m writing to go into a loop of trying to rewrite the same sentence for 20 minutes. It’s important to get up and move, and work on something else for a while.
