Defining work-life balance varies with the seasons of your life, the nature of your work, and the shared goals of individuals, families, and organizations. Generally, you have a healthy balance if you can work hard and enthusiastically but still have time and energy for the rest of your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What does work-life balance mean for you? It\u2019s a balancing act. You may have a growing family. You may earn good money or have financial setbacks. You may manage a household, pursue a degree, take up hobbies, or volunteer. You may launch a start-up, manage a business, or try new&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/chministries.org\/work-from-home-ideas-for-moms\/\">work-from-home ideas for Mompreneurs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to consider&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/chministries.org\/what-is-work-life-balance\/\">why work-life balance matters<\/a>&nbsp;to you. To achieve and maintain a work-life balance, you\u2019ll need to set clear priorities, make hard decisions, and give up or delay some of your favorite things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A servant&#8217;s heart: essential to balance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWhatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.\u201d <\/p>\n<cite><a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/esv\/Col%203.23\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Colossians 3:23, ESV<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Work is a blessing, a burden, and a calling, no matter how humble the task. Whether you\u2019re folding laundry, driving a forklift, fielding calls, closing sales, or leading corporate teams, you\u2019re helping people who matter. If you have an entrepreneur\u2019s spirit, you\u2019ll wear many hats. You crunch numbers, pitch ideas, and pinch-hit as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"482\" height=\"363\" src=\"https:\/\/chministries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Work-life-balance-1.webp\" alt=\"what is work life balance\" class=\"wp-image-2840\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chministries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Work-life-balance-1.webp 482w, https:\/\/chministries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Work-life-balance-1-300x226.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 482px) 100vw, 482px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At work and after hours, balancing roles requires a servant\u2019s heart. When work seems thankless or overwhelming, remember who\u2019s really \u201cthe boss of you.\u201d Does your work glorify God? Ask Him to keep your goals in line with His will for your life and the greater good of others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wise work-life priorities pursue lasting treasures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, work-life balance is a mindset. During difficult times, consider your motives for working. You may dream of flashier cars, designer labels, and show-homes, but their beauty is fleeting. Chasing \u201cthe next big thing\u201d can breed personal frustration and neglect of your family and others who matter to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Worthy priorities include earning enough to care for your family, pay off debts, save for a rainy day, stay healthy, help others, enjoy life, and guard family time. It\u2019s not easy, but it\u2019s doable with focus, discipline, and flexibility. As you set goals, be mindful that work-life balance keeps God in the driver\u2019s seat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-offwhite-background-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-constrained wp-block-column-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-source-serif-font-family has-medium-font-size\">No task or role is insignificant \u2013 especially in God\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-constrained wp-block-column-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Managing e-connectivity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In today\u2019s digitized world, boundaries blur and technologies distract. Achieving work-life balance means deciding not to check your devices randomly or be \u201con-call\u201d for work or frivolous pursuits 24\/7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unless you\u2019re responding to emergencies, balancing work and life means narrowing attention and availability. To maintain work-life balance, take a cue from Elijah. Ignore the media\u2019s metaphorical earthquakes, windstorms, and fire. Quiet your mind and listen for the still, small voice of God in the gentle breeze (<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/nasb95\/1%20Kings%2019.11-13\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1 Kings 19:11-13, NASB<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t \u201cwhite-knuckle it\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re chronically stressed, you\u2019re working too hard. Clenched fists and white knuckles are literal and metaphorical signs of internal tension. \u201cWhite-knuckling it\u201d can happen when you grip the steering wheel of an out-of-control car or cling to a roller-coaster\u2019s protective bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During extreme stress, you may grasp an object so tightly it breaks. It\u2019s tempting to ignore work-related stress and push forward. This may get you through a crisis, but chronic stress drains energy reserves. It leads to burnout, poor productivity, strained relationships, and other problems. Work hard and do all you can, not more. Draw on the strength that God supplies for His glory through Christ (<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/niv\/1%20Pet%204.11\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1 Peter 4:11, NIV<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pencils can teach us about work-life balance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you work, remember that you\u2019re part of something bigger. In his iconic book, \u201cI, Pencil,\u201d Leonard Read cleverly demonstrated the tremendous financial potential and mutual benefits of cooperative effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thousands of people come together to create something as simple and useful as a pencil. The graphite lead, cedar wood, brass trim, yellow paint, black letters, eraser, and even the glue that holds everything together require contributions from near and far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No task or role is insignificant \u2013 especially in God\u2019s eyes. He chose a carpenter as Christ\u2019s earthly father. Jesus chose fishermen as His disciples. Faithful work contributes to and reflects a higher purpose. Whether your business is hauling logs, designing furniture, building homes or painting, decorating, and selling them, it matters. You may catch, package, distribute, cook, or serve fish. Whatever your calling, do it for the Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mother Teresa of Calcutta worked with a servant\u2019s heart. She didn\u2019t seek honor or riches. She said, \u201cI am a little pencil in God&#8217;s hands. He does the thinking. He does the writing. He does everything, and sometimes it is really hard because it is a broken pencil, and He has to sharpen it a little more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To achieve true work-life balance, let God be the CEO of your plans, the author of your work, and the One you can trust \u2013 especially when your pencil is broken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile has-secondary-background-color has-background\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);margin-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);margin-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);grid-template-columns:34% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"663\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/chministries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/CHM_InformationPack_Cover-663x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2756 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chministries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/CHM_InformationPack_Cover-663x1024.png 663w, https:\/\/chministries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/CHM_InformationPack_Cover-194x300.png 194w, https:\/\/chministries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/CHM_InformationPack_Cover-768x1187.png 768w, https:\/\/chministries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/CHM_InformationPack_Cover-994x1536.png 994w, https:\/\/chministries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/CHM_InformationPack_Cover-1325x2048.png 1325w, https:\/\/chministries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/CHM_InformationPack_Cover.png 1650w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 663px) 100vw, 663px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\">Healthcare options for small businesses?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It shouldn\u2019t be overwhelming\u2014or break the bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn how CHM has helped entrepreneurs with excellent, budget-friendly healthcare since 1981.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/info-pack\/\">DOWNLOAD THE INFO PACK<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What does work-life balance mean?
