Texas Children's Hospital supports a healthy work/life balance for all employees. How do you balance life and work?

"I find that it's pretty simple to balance life and work with the right company. When I enjoy what I do, it doesn't feel like a chore. When I am at home, my family gets my attention first. I take time on the weekends to do things for myself and rest before the work week begins. My favorite activities are yoga, gardening, and listening to music. When I consistently take care of myself and spend time with my family, I feel better able to handle work stressors and keep calm during high-pressure situations."

"I make a strong effort to keep a healthy balance by spending my free time away from my cell phone and having more face-to-face time with my friends and family. I indulge in the things that make me happy on my days off, such as kayaking, hiking, and reading historical novels. By taking time for myself, I can give even more energy at work."
