Balance your lifeWritten by Liana Metal

If you respect your writing job, others will do so too. What is more, they won't feel neglected as you will give them your care and attention at time they are around. Furthermore, your house chores will be done in time and you won't feel overworked. Many a times I used to end up with half burned meals and I felt extremely stressed trying to catch up with all house chores before family was back home. So, telling yourself ‘I’ll do it later’, it’s not solution. ‘Later’ will come in no time and you will find yourself in a very difficult situation. Yet, no one will believe your excuses as you have been in house whole morning , and you will feel inefficient for no reason at all! " A little every day" is my motto, and, in long run, everything is done and everybody is happy. Keeping your writing and family under control will make you feel satisfied and everyone, including you, will be happy. Also, keep in mind that there is nothing odd if you work in unconventional places. I sometimes find it stimulating to work in living room with all family around. Noise does not bother me ,on contrary, it brings me more ideas. This article was outlined last evening while we were all watching a football match. Well, truth is I did not watch much of it! I was absorbed in my new article, but that's how this idea sprang out. I can perfectly work in a chatty setting. Have you tried it? You may come up with fresh ideas and great articles. Finally, who says that writing can turn you into a zombie? Shatter myth! It's up to you to enjoy both your family and your writing career. Simply make a time plan! Ends 711 words

Fortunately, there’s a more evolved part of our brain that’s responsible for creating advanced society we live in today. When we see our life through this part of our brain, we feel few restrictions. We can do almost anything. The world is a limitless playground waiting for us to step in and play our part. I began to realize how these two critical aspects of human hardware are in stark opposition. Part of our brain wants us to grow, take risks and get out of our comfort zones; while another wants us to stay home and be safe. It’s no wonder most of us run into roadblocks when we are trying to grow. To add one more idea to my theory, most of us are members of first generation that’s been encouraged to grow beyond our parents’ edict of “do what you’re supposed to do, not what you want to do.” In other words, very few of us have any role models for living a complete life of passion and fulfillment. After spinning this theory with my colleagues, it became obvious that, as a species, we’re doing pretty well, despite our physical and cultural limitations. We are continually growing, evolving and modeling a new way of living for future generations. On an individual level, it’s easy to get lost and stuck in what’s scary and moving too slowly. But when was last time you paused for a moment, shifted your perspective and reminded yourself about your accomplishments? How far have YOU come in your life? I invite you to take a minute right now and think about it. Yes, keep taking risks and moving forward toward living a complete life, but respect your very human need for security. You can do this by routinely acknowledging what’s working well and by reviewing your past accomplishments. As you practice this you will begin to experience less time in stuck, fearful places and more time in moving forward and living your dreams places. What’s stopping you? Go ahead and dream… It’s YOUR life…imagine possibilities!
