All work no rest makes Jack a dull boy.  Yeah there must be time for work and rest respectively. 

I am still slacking and I hope I can make it up with time.. 

What I've learned as I've gotten older is that I absolutely cannot do it all!  I was a work-a-holic!  I gave everything to my job back when we lived in Colorado.  I often worked 52-72 hours per week, which is almost impossible to maintain and still have a life outside of work.  It took some years for me to realize this.  I paid the price as almost losing my family, and for what?  The job would not always be there, but family is important!  

I still fight trying to be 'super woman', but I am getting better at letting go.  Going outside and being in nature is a perfect antidote.

Thanks for sharing and have a lovely day!  !LADY

You are a doer and an achiever sis and your drive pushes you to your limits. But it's good that you are thinking of your well-being too and not taking it for granted. It's nice to take it easy once and a while and really breath :)
!LADY

Me too wanted to work as long as I can and I keep myself busy. I did it many times but sometimes our body ang kawawa. So after having some sicknesses because of overwork, I tried to control myself and have some rest.

Thanks for the mention sis @jane1289 

Hello @jane1289. You are spot on when you say that you enjoy working online to make ends meet, but it can be stressful during the holidays with balancing offline life too. Your formula for managing both is good in that prioritizing, not overloading your tasks, and taking breaks, are essential for balance. I love your reminder that offline life is the real world. Also stress affects your health and well-being, and *wealth is health*.

Thanks for sharing your experiences and your tools for handling both online and offline life.

**I think I know the answer to the last photo, but is that your personal drawing of yourself?** I see it's not sourced.

Take care and have a good rest of your week.

I like how you determined that you have to put your priorities straight as well as your health. Sometimes we get caught up in doing so much that it is all we ever get to think of. We need to learn to pause and smell the flowers.

I've got a full agenda at the moment so I am a bit scarce on Hive the last few weeks and being overwhelmed is putting things mildly. And why I haven't posted lately. 💓

I hope each and everyone will come out of depression and live a wonderful life ahead. Thank you for sharing with us.

> *Again, work matters, but health and well-being matter more. We can do things without compromising our health. Maybe we can simply focus on achieving a happy life rather than achieving our desires. Less pressure, less stress, but a happier life.*

For one to work and make money, one's health comes first. And one must always take care of one's mental health. Although I may not be wealthy, my life is now abundant with love and happiness. I was inspired by it and was able to accomplish and do what I desired in the future.

This is a good writing and it does helps, thank you @jane1289. 

> *Maybe we can simply focus on achieving a happy life rather than achieving our desires. Less pressure, less stress, but a happier life.*

They said even a small thing can make you happy. I know the struggle you are dealing with. Having no time for yourself may lead to stress. 

Health is wealth, and we should note that as our number one priority. I am speaking from my own experience and how I wish I could turn back time and start all over again.

I'll make sure I eat healthy and put myself first, rather than thinking of others. It caused me to take hypertension pills for the rest of my life and got me a blue card from my general hospital as a psychiatrist patient. 

Take care always, @jane1289 and may god keep you under his protection. ❤️

I ~~am~~ used to be very much like you, and always kept myself busy doing something and multi-tasking all day, every day. However, I had to force myself to break that habit. I still fill my day up, but on my agenda, are always moments where I try to let go of all thoughts and just listen to my breath, look out in nature, or just listen to the atmospheric sounds around me.

It's good to have things under control, and I also hate having any outstanding tasks on my agenda, but I find ways to curb that habit daily and try to put my total well-being a priority. 
Good on you though for consciously wanting to do something, and making all the necessary steps to achieve what you set out to do:)))

Sometimes we just need a break from all of these stuff we do just to make a living. 
As you stated ,good health and well being matters more and that’s what most people fail to understand. 
We really need to take good care of ourselves instead of killing our selves for our jobs. 

If you fall sick today , that job you’ve always been putting over your health will be given to a different person and that’s how life is. 

You are right, @jane1289.
 The only way to enjoy life is to be able to set priorities!

Maybe it is my outlook on life Jane, but I don't get stressed, life is short and things will happen if they are meant to happen and I learnt as a child there is no point winding yourself up, the Universe will deliver if it wants to.
Maybe because I don't get stressed, I don't get depressed or maybe it is because of my not give af attitude. I do have days where I CBA Can't Be Arsed though!
We are all different, so it is a case of doing what works for you...

Todas las actividades de la vida son importantes:
Las fisiológicas, como dormir, comer, evacuar las heces y orina.
Las ambientales o sociales: estudiar, trabajar, ejercitarse, entre otras...
La realidad es hacer todo eso con las normas establecidas para cada caso y para cada momento. Es así como finalizas tu artículo, ofreciendo conclusiones que permiten desarrollar una vida más feliz.
Saludos @jane1289
