0:42

talk about having balance finding

0:45

balance in life means making choices

0:49

that keep us healthy and happy let's

0:52

talk about how to do this in different

0:55

parts of our Lives first of all it's

0:58

important to have a balance between work

1:01

and fun work is necessary we need to

1:06

work to make money provide for our

1:08

family and because it's good to be

1:12

productive we also need to have fun too

1:16

it's essential to laugh play spend time

1:19

with others and enjoy life it's

1:23

important to work and have fun if we

1:26

only work without any fun we can become

1:30

tired and unhappy but if we only want to

1:35

have fun we can't do our work so we need

1:39

to find a balance we should work hard

1:43

and also dedicate some time to

1:46

relaxation and fun this balance helps us

1:50

finish our tasks and stay happy now

1:54

let's talk about organizing our day it's

1:57

good to make plans and organize your

2:00

schedule if you do this you'll know what

2:04

you need to do every day it will help

2:07

you stay on track and get things done

2:11

planning also helps us have more time to

2:14

do things during the day however we

2:18

don't want to always plan everything

2:21

it's also nice to have a little Freedom

2:25

what I mean is giving yourself the

2:27

opportunity to do something things

2:30

without planning them first sometimes

2:33

it's good to do what feels right at that

2:37

moment this keeps life interesting so I

2:41

think it's good to plan our days but

2:44

also allow ourselves to do some things

2:48

that we didn't plan this balance helps

2:51

us be productive and organized but also

2:55

happy and less stressed lastly let's

2:59

talk about about eating healthy of

3:02

course we should all try to eat healthy

3:05

food if we don't take care of our health

3:09

we can have serious problems eating

3:12

healthy makes us feel better and it also

3:16

helps us work better and relax better

3:20

but sometimes we want to eat things that

3:23

aren't so healthy for example I often

3:27

crave sweets eating a lot of this type

3:31

of food isn't so good however if we only

3:35

eat this food sometimes it's not as bad

3:39

this is the balance that I think we

3:42

should have we should eat healthy most

3:45

of the time but also allow ourselves to

3:49

cheat a little bit then after we cheat

3:53

and eat something unhealthy we should

3:56

immediately go back to eating healthy

3:59

again this balance helps us stay healthy

4:03

but also lets us enjoy our favorite

4:06

treats once in a while as you can see

4:09

balance is key finding balance in these

4:13

areas of life makes life more enjoyable

4:17

we can do the things that are necessary

4:21

like working hard and eating healthy but

4:24

also enjoy our lives this is balance

4:29

well that's all for today I hope this
