Balance Nursing Career And Life - 3 Action Steps

By: Amanda Young

Have you ever felt that you had perfect balance between life and your career? Everything seems to go in the right direction. You are all for all. You walk on water. You fly through the sky. You know how to get the work done. Then life seems to take a detour in the wrong direction. What happened?

What is balance between life and career? It is a fullfillment between your life and your career. The full time work week is around 36 to 40 hours per week. More and more companies are offering flexible working options. Many offer work at home options. Many offer scheduling your own days to come in. However many professionals are working longer and longer hours. Many people have stressful and hectic careers.

How can you have a balance between your career and your life? Here are 3 actions that you can use right now to gain balance in your career and your life:

1. Look at your life. Are you where you want to be? Are you spending time with friends and family? Is there a hobby that you do? What do you do for fun? Write down what you do in one week. Look at what areas need to change or not. This will give you a great outline of what, when, where, and who you spend your time. Look at it with an honest heart!

2. Learn and utilize the skill of delegation. Is your life full of tasks that someone else could do? Is your plate full? Even delegating a few tasks can give you more time to do what you want. Decide on what you want to delegate out. Be specific on what you want done. Then let go of that task that you have decided on. Most important always give gratitude to the person that has completed the task.

3. Take care of yourself. Develop and maintain interests that aren't related to your career. Spend time with friends and family. Schedule in time every week for yourself. Even if it is an hour a week. Get adequate sleep. Get exercise 3 to 4 times a week. This helps to regenerate your energy, your mind, and your body.

Are you living a balance life? Do you take time to relax and enjoy life? Or Are you on a sprint? Are you going in circles and end up in the same place? Are you ready to take action to a balance life and career?
