Ladies of Hive Community Contest #232 - Work life balance
I missed the last week's contest, but nevertheless back again for this week for the @LadiesofHive contest # 232:
Ladies of Hive Community Contest #232
The questions for this week are:
1️⃣ Work is a basic role in life which allows us to satisfy our economic needs. However, it is necessary to enjoy moments to have fun and relax, either with your work colleagues or with your family. Tell us how you experience these spaces? Share a photo of these moments of relaxation.
~ 𝐀𝐍𝐃 / 𝐎𝐑 ~
2️⃣ There are states of mind that arise from our way of facing what happens to us, either with resistance or acceptance. How do you face the difficulties in life? Identify your mood here.
Now I am at that stage of life where I do not have to worry about earning money, that is solely hubby's responsibility and thankfully his job is also not very stressful so both of us have a good amount of time at hand where we can do our own things. But saying that I have so many other things in life happening simultaneously which keeps me engaged and from there I have to remove my fun time, which is not actually challenging. Most of the things I do I enjoy so I find fun in that only. Going 1 decade back I can say this was very relevant for me. In this time period, the most fun activity for me is travelling and working with Crystals. Travelling is often and Crystals is a daily affair.
Going back in time, after starting my career, for 20 years I had a hectic work schedule which would be a 9 of working in the office and then 3 hours of commuting every day. By the time I would reach home, I would be so exhausted that I could not think of having any fun or even spending time for myself, because that time my son was small and I had to take care of my parenting responsibilities also. I would start my work day at 6 in the morning and by the time I would reach home it would be 7 in the evening, and after that it would be home responsibilities. Weekend was the only time I would get to do somethings for myself.
In all of that Saturday night was always for myself and I would spend it with my friends. I enjoy music and dancing, so most of the Saturday nights I would go out with my friends clubbing and return late night. Sunday morning would be again relaxed spending time with family. Some times we would take off on a day outing and some Sundays were family movie time. This was my fun factor then, and it was pretty good.
At this stage of life, it is pretty relaxed and I have the liberty to relax and have fun whenever I want. But this stage has not come easily, it has taken years of struggle and sacrifices.
One of the things that I enjoy doing is making Crystal grids.
Coming the second question, for me more then resistance or acceptance, I believe in first surrendering to the situation and then accepting it. When everything has been tried and nothing changes then the best is to surrender because then it's meant to happen that way. But the surrender part only comes when I have tried everything and still I am not able to breakthrough. So it is first surrender and then accept. I always have believed in the higher force that constantly works with us for our good, so when things are not going our way even after pushing it to it's maximum limits then probably it's not meant to happen.
Thank you for visiting my blog. 👼🏻👼🏻💖💖🌹🌺🌸

I can't think of anything as satisfying as being taken care of. You are now at that stage. Not worrying about money amidst other things must be kind of freeing.
It is very much a feeling a freedom in real sense. Lack of money can make life so stressful, I have experienced it and I know the difference

I think it's a good common ground to work on things you genuinely enjoy doing. Makes even your work time easier to handle, less friction. For me, work life balance is mostly centered around keeping the big picture in tact, mostly focused on life with work being a subset of life. Can crystal grids modify the energy of a place?
Yes, Crystals grids do modify the energy of a place, but you need to exactly know how to make it, use it and take care of the crystals
Right. One needs to be knowledgeable to understand the patterns for example, how to set it up correctly for the best effects.
Wow, reading this felt like I was listening to a wise, experienced friend just sharing their life journey with me over a cup of tea.
It’s really inspiring to see how you’ve gracefully transitioned from a hectic, exhausting daily routine to a more peaceful and fulfilling phase of life. I could feel the weight of those long workdays, the sacrifices, and the dedication to both career and family, it made your present calmness feel so well-earned and deserved.
I especially loved the part where you said, "Most of the things I do I enjoy, so I find fun in that only." That really struck me. It's a beautiful reminder that sometimes fun isn’t just about grand vacations or outings, it’s in the everyday things we genuinely enjoy. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for you kind words. Experiences of life teaches us many things. It's never easy for anyone, everyone is fighting their own battles, some express and some do it silently. It's just the attitude that matters.
Hubby is such a great person handling all that. This is just awesome. If all that has been tried ain't working, surrending is a wise move, because it'll be more waste of time to keep resisting at that point
That's what I believe that resisting or fighting too much will create stress and may not be helpful in any way
you're absolutely right
The crystal grids look amazing. It’s good to know that that you can lay back now and relax. Didn’t come easily like you said but it’s a proof that hard work pays. Better to pay now and okay later than vice-versa
Thank you, Crystals are my passion and I enjoy working with them
Well said ma one need to accept the difficulties of life rather than overthinking what will be will be accepting life challenges will help us work hard and overcome those challenges.
Overthinking makes it more difficult to handle and becomes stressful. When you surrender to the process the flow of life becomes easy and smooth
Very easy my love thank you for stopping by
I identify with you at this stage of life, with the working day, the housework, as you say, it has not been easy, it has taken years of struggle and sacrifices, for today
to have the freedom to relax and have fun when you want, is a valuable reward, I agree with you, that first is to surrender and then accept, especially when things are not meant to be, I love the crystal creations and the image you share, a big hug my dear friend,

3 hours of commuting is insane. I can't imagine you did that for 20 years. I'm happy that you've overcome that phase. Cheers!
It was insane, and it was not a straight travel, I had to change 3 modes of transport and walk up quite a bit to work. But I was very young and it did not feel so much in those days. Now it would be very difficult for me to do it on daily basis.
What will be will definitely be no matter how you try but like you said, we have to try all the available possibilities before concluding that what will be will be,we don't need to stress our selves over things that doesn't have solution.
Very well said, we need to try our best and then even after that if it's not shaping up then surrender and accept
Sometimes things don't go our way but whenever we get time, we enjoy ourselves because it is very important to have fun along with work in life.Morning time is always filled with exercise because the routine of life is such that it is necessary to exercise the body to keep you healthy।
Sometimes when such problems come in life, I divert my mind to something else because I get some solution to that problem
I believe you have done your own fair shares of struggles like commuting for three hours and the likes, Today being able to take care of your various needs without stress is as a result of all your struggles before now.
