The pursuit of balance is a chase, a chase for being able to achieve hard work while still maintaining mental wellness. We all have different ways of enduring day to day pressure. With the constant stress of studying for classes, building a portfolio, and working for extra cash, it becomes overwhelming.
Enduring can be difficult, but for many it can come from finding a balance. Sometimes it’s hard to allow oneself to rest, the fear of falling behind can creep in and push us beyond our means. Pushing ourselves is how we improve but the foundation of our abilities lies within our rest and wellbeing. Without that balance, the balance of allowing ourselves to have that rest, allowing ourselves to have that day off, we cannot perform at our full potential.
To endure our hardships we must find that balance of pushing ourselves and knowing when to take a step back and breathe.
