Work Life Balance Through Personal Mastery

Work Life Balance, Got Some?

Work life balance, as they call it, is exceedingly challenging for many of us. People have always been overwhelmed by a myriad of adult work life balanceresponsibilities, and today, it always seems like it’s getting worse.

The people who somehow seem to achieve a work life balance appear to have an almost mystical ability to individuals who are struggling to achieve the same thing. Individuals on the outside obviously don’t see what these people feel internally or how they cope with their situations emotionally, but they can still benefit from some basic ideas concerning personal mastery.

Personal mastery involves a combination of emotional awareness and some cognitive strategies that can help you manage your own emotional states.

Leading an existence of a work life balance can mean different things to different people. Some people are trying to balance their responsibilities to their families with their work-related duties.

Other people are trying to lead balanced emotional lives. They are trying to work through potential feelings of stress and anxiety and trying to perform to the best of their abilities.

Self-mastery can help you achieve some aspects of a work life balance existence, and even help you improve some of your external circumstances. People will have external problems for all sorts of reasons, and some of them can be directly or indirectly related to attitude problems. Fixing attitude problems can be within the reach of many people.

Achieving Work Life Balance

Achieving a work life balance requires having the right environment and the right degree of personal mastery. Having a work life balance can be difficult to negotiate for people who are in certain circumstances. Almost all people who are living balanced lives have the interpersonal support networks that make it possible for them to manage all their varying responsibilities.

However, even people without those support networks can learn to make the most out of what they do have, and try to affect change in their own attitudes. Changing your external circumstances can be very challenging, and may be beyond what some people can do in any reasonable length of time.

Nonetheless, people can work towards some degree of personal mastery and still improve their circumstances, at least to a certain extent.

Personal mastery can help with some of the problems surrounding issues like procrastination and time management, which can certainly interfere with people’s attempts to lead balanced lives.

People do not usually procrastinate on tasks out of laziness. They have a great deal of their identities invested in success, which can cause them to avoid anything that puts them to the test.

Part of personal mastery is recognizing that these sorts of fears can hold you back, and making them work for you or working through them properly. Fear is not inevitable, even if it seems that way, and working at the underlying reasons for your fear can prevent it from recurring at the worst times.

Having your identity invested in anything external can be difficult. Personal mastery should partly involve trying to make your sense of self-worth innate. Feeling like you are a worthwhile person no matter what can help you accomplish your own goals much more easily, since you will approach them with less fear and more direction.

No one should have to live with having their self-esteem on the line as a potential bargaining chip with each decision. The pressure can build up, even with the strongest individuals, and lead them to burn out rapidly. Even people with the most secure external circumstances will have a difficult time coping in those situations. Personal mastery can make all the difference for individuals who otherwise have significant control over their lives.

The people who learn to live a work life balance do not stake a huge amount of their self-image and self-worth on every single decision they make throughout the day. If they did and they invested that much fear into every single thing they did, they would probably not accomplish anything at all.

They approach challenges in life with drive and think about what they need to do in order to accomplish the tasks at hand, without becoming too bogged down in the potential difficult consequences of what could happen in unlikely emergency situations.

Personal mastery for them is about channeling their emotions in productive directions and trying to avoid having them become additional obstacles to overcome. You need to have the proper emotional tools in order to sustain any measure of a balanced life, even if your general outside circumstances allow you to have a work life balance of any kind.
