I have to admit- I’m not the best at managing my life. Most of the times I am either overworked or over procrastinated, which doesn’t make any sense, but it most definitely happens.

You probably already heard about that perfect middle everyone seems to seek for- a perfect life-work balance. Only a few lucky ones actually manage to do it and yet they still seem to constantly talk about it.

I personally don’t really get it.

You see, the funny thing happened in my life- I actually adore my job. To be honest, I truly like working 14 hours + when I feel that extra energy or I have a very exciting project coming up.

That’s why I can’t tell you a secret to finding that perfect balance in your life, but I can hopefully show you how to get less f*** about it. Let’s get to it:

Make Your Own Decisions

No matter how you feel, at the end of the day, nobody cares about your failures or your achievements more than you do. Stop caring about what others might think about your life decisions. It’s your life. We can’t satisfy everyone, but true friends will understand.

If you’re in the season of your life where constant work seems to be the best option- embrace that. Inform your close ones that you need to hustle for a month or two, but make sure to set a deadline for this. I bet they will appreciate your time more when you can fully be with them without worrying about all those tasks that you couldn’t finish.

Likely, if you simply feel like you need a break- allow yourself to relax & don’t worry about your goals. Even if you feel pressured by your parents, your partner or anyone else- it’s not their decision.

After graduating from high school, I took a gap year and went to live in London where I stayed in the squat and made many questionable decisions. I knew my parents weren’t too happy about this, but I did it anyway. It ended up being one of the best decisions I made in my life & I’m so glad I listened to myself rather than anyone else.

Live According To Seasons

We can’t have the same balance in our life all year long. It’s natural.

I love beeing lazy & eating way too much during the Christmas madness just as much as I love spending long evenings working on new products during spring & autumn. Summer is all about living in the adventure for me & I can’t be bothered spending too much time in front of the screens then. You get the point. Every season is there for a reason & it’s OK to feel more sleepy during winter.

“Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth.”- Henry David Thoreau.

I’m not a crazy flower-power lady just yet, but understanding this made my life so much easier.

Love Yourself

It’s probably easier said than done, but this is the actual secret to the best possible life balance.

If you truly, deeply love yourself- you will never allow yourself to be overstressed, overworked and feel bad about it.

Trust me on this, to learn loving yourself could be the hardest thing that you will ever do, but it’s so worth it!

Switch Off

I will always be thankful for my boyfriend for truly teaching me to love outdoors.

As a teenager, I used to find my shield behind a depressive music, endless hours of staring at the screen or loud parties. It was all I lived for back then & felt pretty miserable.

As an adult, I now realise that the best way to truly switch off is to get yourself closer to nature.

There’s nothing else that makes me feel better about my life than a slow walk in the forest or swim in the lake on not so warm summer night.

Nature has this magic power of putting your minds in order. Use it.
