Balancing Life, Work, and Swimming

I have been struggling lately finding balance in my life. For short period of time, I was able to focus most of my time on my family, but I wasn't doing enough for myself and I was not happy. When I decided to focus more on myself and swim more often, I wasn't very happy with how much time I was spending away from my family. The past few months, work interrupted my swimming schedule and other life happenings required most of my focus; now my swimming has been much less than what I want it to be. I want to find a happy balance between all three. I know that compared to some of you that I am still young, but I worry that my life is slipping away and I am not enjoying it as much as I can. I am curious as to how to find that magical balance and be happy with all three, or if I am looking for something that does not exist. Thanks.

  • I know this isn't going to work for everyone, but if you can try to work as regular a work schedule as possible. I know lots of times things come up at the end of the day and you end up working later. When possible, just say no. Set a time that you are going to stop working and stick to it. That work will still be there the next morning and, most of the time, the world won't end of you don't get around to it that day!
