Work Life Balance (in unequal measures)

My career has always been a huge part of my life having inherited an incredibly strong work ethic from my mother it seemed that I could never be measured as a person if I did'nt work hard to the detriment of all else.

My career path took a distinct downturn during the last year, especially in they way I veiwed myself, work and me were always interchangeable, never one without the other.

I began to realise that there was only work and no "me" how do I redress this?

"have a mini breakdown" to understand that you must also live your life and not be a slave to work and those who employ you.

Is working 60 plus hours pw having a life a resounding ? NO

Can you talk to work at 3am in the morning ? NO

Is work going to ask you how was your day ? NO

Can working less hours give you back your life? YES

Can you call a friend at 3am? YES

Will your friends ask how was your day? YES

This in some small measure can help you get your life back and in return I will achieve Balance.

NB: The fitness and diet regime going well i hope to lose more than unwanted weight and gain a lighter me.
