Find out if your work life is currently balanced so you can focus on the areas of your life that truly matter. With this work life balance quiz, you can discover if your work has been adding stress and anxiety when it shouldn’t be. 

How good are you at balancing various aspects of your life? Since everything is not equally important in life, it is crucial to have the right balance for you at this point in time. Not to mention, part of achieving the right balance involves knowing your values and priorities. Wouldn’t you want to allocate more time to those areas when time is limited.

People often look at work/life balance as having an equal balance between the two. They view it as a balanced scale. This conception of balance is not the best because it does not take into account an individual’s current goals and priorities which can change over time. Did you know that this assessment provides a comprehensive look at finding a balance between work, family, friends, activities, exercise, and time alone. It takes into account the right balance for you at this point in time. The results will give you an indication of how well you have currently achieved the balance that is right for you right now.

If you are here, that tells me you may not be ready to find the results of your work life balance with the quiz above. Are just finding ways to read more information. Through cognitive behavioral therapy, I have discovered that most of what we know and what stops us in our lives is our beliefs. That little voice in your head that seems to be controlling everything. Do you even have to listen to it?

Do you have limited beliefs?

Did you know that limited beliefs can become part of your life and stop you from being who you want to be. Learn which one you may be using and why they are detrimental to your own mental health and growth.

  • Do you see the world in black and white?
  • Do you have a hard time letting go of other peoples actions?

As mentioned, we all have these little voices in our heads that are there to provide us advice, sometimes to warn us of any dangers. Have noticed lately that it’s there all the time and maybe even holding you back. Learning about your own limited thinking patterns is the first step towards your personal growth.

Is holistic health what you are seeking?

Have you been trying to improve your own life, but everything that people do, diet, extreme weight loss for example is not what you are looking for? Holistic Health is not only taking the physical aspect but your entire body as a whole. You know as well as I do that stress in your body shows up in different places.

The direct definition is: “holistic health is an approach to wellness that simultaneously addresses the physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual components of health.”

Don’t forget, your body is a wonderful mechanism. Shouldn’t it be able to heal part of it on its own? Are the life choices you make negatively affecting you? Are the choices you make impacting your life, maybe even making you sicker? Wherever you come from, all these patterns and behaviours can be updated so it all makes sense to you. You are allowed to wake up in the morning and feel good, about yourself, your life, your work etc. That’s what holistic health is about and the work-life balance quiz is one area that is a big trigger for a lot of people.

Some of the areas you can learn to work on are:

  • Personal Growth
  • Relationships
  • Health
  • Work-Life Balance
  • Money
  • Life Purpose

If you rolled your eyes at some of them, it might mean that these are some of the areas to improve on. It’s not done in one day, but over time all the decisions you make will matter.
