Why You Should Throw The Idea of Work Life Balance Out the Window

[@annikabirgittanordlander6887]

”If all a person’s time in a day is spent meeting the demands of a job that they don’t like, they will very quickly become depressed and their wellbeing will decline”. Teal Swan. Thank you Teal 🌎

[@iamjoaoneves]

I have a friend like Gabe who's 40 years old and never had a 'stable' career. I always thought she doesn't have a balanced life because she keeps taking temporary jobs in greenhouses and farms all over the world and spending all her money traveling and going to music festivals, then looking for jobs again. I now understand that she's an explorer just like Gabe and maybe that's what she needs to do to be happy. Thank you for the message Teal. I love watching your videos and I hope I can visit one of your workshops one day. ♥ Peace and love

I spent the first 38 years of my life educating myself. I always wanted to be a teacher. Now, I have my dream job as a wife, full-time mother and home-schooling our son and spending 18 years educating him. I have had this job for 17 years and I love it. I have never felt more relaxed, fulfilled and whole.

[@mewells]

Education system has to DRASTICALLY change... focus on individual development rather than creating little work in the cubicle clones.... everybody HAS to do math, English, science, etc at THIS expected level to be deemed a worthy contributor to society...gag. Our schools should be varied and include farming, apprenticeships for variety of tasks, tech, arts, literary, historical, ...and room for innovation. What a world we could create with children growing into their best self with no predetermined "normal"... glorious.

Since you’re someone who obviously visits spiritual channels like this one, you should KNOW that you attract exactly what you need on a moment to moment basis because of the LAW OF ATTRACTION!!! Many people hear about this and understand this law but continually say, “This is crazy, I was just thinking about this!” Almost like they’re trying to unlearn the law of attraction and pretend it’s all “sUcH a cOinCiDeNcE….” You attracted it!!! Everything you see everyday you attract on some level because everything is energy and so are your thoughts and feelings and like attracts like!!!

[@sailyx3jupy]

Before even watching this video, losing my jobs constantly is proof that I do not belong working for anyone or thing but my passion. The universe will shock you and push you where you belong. I started a plant channel a few days ago. Just getting into the swing of my life. Blindly. And I have been on both sides of the spectrum, workaholic and complete disinterest in getting a job.

[@darthfiende1]

All I've wanted since I was little was to be a homemaker like Martha Stewart. I was pressured to go to college by my second wave feminist mother who couldn't stand that I was interested in gender roles. I'm now married and doing a majority of the housework because that's what I care about but still feel like I have to have a "real job" because unpaid labor is so devalued. I don't want my husband to do more housework so I can have a career. I want a clear division of labor that allows me to steward someone else's resources so that they're more efficient and go farther. I want to build a life for me and my partner that we don't have to escape from. I resent feminism for devaluing the domestic arts and, in my opinion, making more women more burned out.

[@VSky3]

Feminism at its core supports women choosing whatever it is they want to do in life whether that's being a homemaker or going into traditional male roles. Don't listen to those that claim to be feminists and twist this message

[@ohioplayer-bl9em]

being a stay at home wife is one of the most important jobs in the world especially once children are involved. You have the opportunity to take care of your own children and keep them busy with after school activities once school starts for them. A functional household is the best place to come home from after work and the best place to raise children. Tell everyone that that spends 2/3 of their paycheck paying other folks to raise their kids to stfu. You are a beautiful person for your views nowadays. People are brainwashed to think stay at home moms are lazy and worthless... i disagree and think they are the most important people in our society. They hold everything together.

[@Camrographer]

I chose a work path which at the time fulfilled me but did not meet my financial requirements. As time went on I became more proficient and the work could provide financially but at the expense of health (little time for exercise), lack of sleep (working seventy hours a week or more), little time to pursue human connection, little personal time for leisure, little time to invest in growing intellectually. At first I thought I had succeeded in creating a career out of something I was passionate about. But I used brute force to make something I enjoyed into a career. I had to burn out to realize this was not sustainable but due to my stubbornness It took a decade to finally acknowledge this. I did not realize at the time that I need to satisfy other elements of living to function and thrive. I suppose better late than never.

[@savanna4127]

I had a dream Teal Swan came to house. She gave me a ring. It was as if we knew eachother and were good friends. I woke up and thought it was lovely to hang out with Teal in the dream world. I have not dreamed of her before. Thought I would share. 💜 She told me she had 20 million subscribers. 😁 The ring looked like it had pearl on it and a cross.

[@auryn684]

This is so applicable to me, it’s crazy!! I also noticed how a lot of people in the European workshops had questions about this topic. I’ve been struggling with “finding work life balance” the past year or two - so this seems to be a collective issue that has come up. I was on the workaholic end of the scale for a long time, now I’m on the “I refuse to work!” part of the scale.

[@tkalimeri]

Exactly the same here!

[@jessicaalterauge2054]

Maybe you need to look at both ends of the scale to find your individual place on the scale?! You could now take a distanced view on work to find out which kind of relationship you want to have with it. The Video provides some ideas, so good luck to you!

[@Changeworld408]

what caused the change of perspective?

[@tkalimeri]

@@jessicaalterauge2054 Nice comment. Indeed if you find yourself on the edges you might gain a good idea where is the area that is more compatible to you and serves your needs and best interests.

[@tkalimeri]

@@Changeworld408 If you ask me (that I was on the first edge of workaholism and now im in the opposite edge of ¨refusing to work"), I would say that my body talked before my brain. A strong burn out made me take a distance from work and then I started looking my whole life from a different perspective until I realised that I used to live my life running like a hamster on a hamster wheel. This type of lifestyle to me is pointless now. I am realising what really matters and serves my best interests, what really is compatible to me and that type of lifestyle didnt make me happy and I am consciously now changing everything. What is a good question is: "what took you there in the first place?" And I can definately say that it wasnt my choice. And this is the sad part for anyone who lives a life that is not his/her (conscious) choice. So this is why I totally agree with this video: If you consciously know what your passion is and you follow it even if that is workaholism or traveling around the world or simply make a family etc then you live a life compatible to you. I wish for everyone to take a moment and reflect if what they live is their choice or not and if not, then to find the strength to change it.

[@theodora_pilates]

Seriously, each sentence in this video is useful, I'm always amazed at how she never forgets any detail on any issue. I just watched a video of a person analyzing Teal and the whole Deep End controversy right before this one. He called her wanting her ideas to become mainstream "delusions of grandeur". If you put her in different clothes and a different background, her ideas would have already become mainstream. I hope she is always how she wants to be and still get through.

[@thenerrdpit7441]

exactly. she wants her ideas to become mainstream bc she wants to see humanity happy. those demonizing her in that way are not listening.

[@juanvazquez4989]

I love the Japanese concept of ikigi, it's a difficult thing to accomplish because most people are lacking understanding. You have to understand that what are your physical attributes, your shortcomings and gifts. The gift part goes unnoticed by most and it's lost potential the tragedy of life in my mind. Much like playing an instrument, finding the sweet spot in an action. Doing something right at the perfect time can create ecstasy. How amazing would your life be, if you're every action led to a moment of rapture. Only do things that exist outside of the ego.

[@Being_Mary]

My biggest takeaway from this is that work is not separate from life. I think that often pressured me to somehow find a way to get rid of work to be able to live life. I will have a whole other approach to my job now seeing it as a part of my life 🙏🏻

"There are Four Pillars to your life. They represent the strength of your life, the stability of your life. They represent your ability to withstand change and to take advantage of opportunity. They represent your ability to face disappointment and uncertainty. Like the four legs of a table, they uphold your life. There is the Pillar of Relationships; there is the Pillar of Work and Providership; there is the Pillar of Health and there is the Pillar of your Spiritual Development. Each of these Pillars is of equal value. And even though at any particular moment you may be focused on one of these Pillars, the truth is they all must be built. Like the four legs of a table, they uphold that table, and they uphold whatever is put upon that table. Whatever responsibilities or goals that you establish in your life require that each of these Pillars be strong and that you are attentive to each one of them. Neglect even one of these Pillars, and you will be greatly weakened and prone to failure and defeat. That is why they represent a core part of your personal development. They represent a core part of your spiritual practice and your focus in life." A quote from - _Building the Four Pillars of Your Life_ - a New Message from God teaching.

I’m 39 and I still can’t imagine a viable career that’s in harmony with my interests and talents. So in my case, work always looks like compromise. Maybe the idea of work/life balance was meant for people like me, who can’t find a solution to this problem.

That's the case for most people. Very few make it in creative fields, and a lot of it is based on luck. People can attribute it to other things, but that's usually a case of survivorship bias

I also have a real hard time with finding what would give me energy and feeds me with purpose. Working for others ment I always had to compromise part of myself. Even I want to offer my own service I realize I truly have to believe in myself and not in anything other people say. Most people in my environment even make their own businesses seem like its a way to meet ends need and is not done from their heart. I definetly want to attract more people who do what they love and show me how that is possible. I would love to find what feels so good that i dont want to stop. I hope we can create that :)

[@Nate1975]

Working the job you love, a vocation that is meaningful, is an ideal, but not everyone fall into that scenario partly because of beliefs they have, I think. That’s where society and collective comes through. Never too late to find a job your love or create one, so you never work a day in your life and it becomes life. Many have done it and continue to do it, which is encouraging. Sometimes, however, we do have to do things we don’t like and are stressful, but as long as those choices are conscious, temporary and necessary you are aware of it, then, I think it is okay. If you choose something it doesn’t feel that bad if it is an end of a means. Been in all scenarios and was always aware why and what I am doing. Everything is possible and there’s always a choice ❤

[@shealenehelms]

Exactly what I've been sorting through in my mind the past few weeks, Teal. I got the answer I needed by watching this video while taking notes/journaling. It got me to see CLEARLY. Side note: I spent the past 3 months in the spiritual realm in meditation and essentially isolating myself and I got SO much information about my future/future self that it was difficult to integrate back into reality (I was thinking that what I got from my meditations was going to happen NOW, because I felt and saw them so clearly, but it's not the time quite yet). And that is when your video about facing the unwanted aspects of reality came out and it TOTALLY saved me and helped me integrate back into the physical (which I thought I was NOT going to like but once I did, it gave me my power back thus giving me motivation and joy back). Now I'm putting in the EFFORT that will get me closer towards my dreams (which you also pointed out). Your videos are always in line with what I'm pondering and/or what I need to hear to keep me on the right track to achieving my goals and desires of my spirit. I only consumer content from 3 creators at this time as that's what has been helping me, and you are the main source of guidance that's helped me along my path. Seriously Teal, thank you.

[@Mnalotus-pk1pc]

Thank you for this video Teal. You broke it down so well. I have been struggling with this and have opted out of working all together because I get burned out and feel like work consumes too much of my time. I am the last example you chose to explain.

You broke this down real well, I was sensing the same thing that everyone has a different thing that works for them and there’s no just one way that all people should be.

What I like about this job is that it keeps me physically active throughout the day. I love the people I work with! I definitely manifested getting the job. The last job I had was a nightmare, I left that job because it was a toxic environment. I feel like the Universe is guiding me on many levels.

[@johncox2912]

Love this video, Teal. The future IS bright. Thank you for sharing this with all of us. It is greatly appreciated. Could you imagine a society that prioritized people over .... say ... profits or simply making money. Can you imagine a world in which companies and businesses put an emphasis on providing a balanced life rather than just trying to make as much money as possible. Can you imagine a world in which the development of people, the giving of service and the providing of opportunities was valued more so than the bottom line. Profits are not bad. But we are SO out of balance in this world that people are struggling just to survive and provide a home and food and everything else. Even in good jobs, people struggle because they are giving so much. One of the things we could do as a society to make life better for everyone is to make it so that the richest person can only make 100 times what the poorest person makes. This would make it so that companies would not be paying so much to the top guy and instead funnel more money into the people,, thus bringing up the standard of living for everyone involved. How we look at things is what needs to change. In other words, it's much better to value PEOPLE and LIFE over simply "doing a job." People, life, the planet and all contained therein should never be abused, misused, exploited or beaten on in order to make a living. This planet could become an incredible paradise in which EVERYONE had a fair chance at doing what they want to do in life, achieving what they want, and living a life that they want. The FIRST thing that must happen is that people need to simply stop harming one another. You can keep any "ism" you have - just don't kill the guy next to you because his "ism" is different. The only rule is simply a kind of "do no harm" to life.I know this is a bit of an ideal to follow, but we must start somewhere. ALL of us on the planet are a resource for one another. ALL OF US!!! This means ALL of life is important, not just one person vs another person. Do you know that are MANY, MANY, MANY worlds out there that know NO war, where people live in PEACE, where life is valued above all else. The honest truth is that right now Earth is not even a level 1 civilization - we are too busy killing one another, exploiting each other, exploiting the earth and living at a very primal level. DO NOT let the fact that we have computers fool you into thinking we are advanced!!! We are NOT. We are not even a level 1 civilization. Earth is a place to learn. To live. To love. To grow. To expand. To connect. To take chances. To fall in love. To fall OUT of love. To soar. To fall. To get up. To feel love, pain, hope, sorrow, passion, grief, and joy. It is a very, very special place where we can use the contrasts to EXPAND and GROW farther than we've ever imagined. We are all the same, you and I and all others, but we are separated by what appears to be our differences, or our choices or our karma. We look different, speak different, do things differently ... but in truth, we are ALL THE SAME. Why? Because each and every one of us IS source expressing infinitely.

I wonder what Teal thinks about human design. I'm a projector and usually projectors have less energy for work than the average person. It amazes me how people can work full time and still be moderately happy. When I was working full time it was so awful. It sucked out all the joy and motivation/energy I had to do things I cared about. I realize that I need to have control over my own time, and that I can't spend too much time on a specific task in one day. I need the freedom to do whatever I want to do in a day, with a lot of time to do so. Currently, what I want to ultimately do for work I still need to learn how to do. I want to spend the time I would to work (which is not as much as other people) to instead learn. This video is so relevant to my life. When I was in school I couldn't even handle being 8 hours a day at school.

Unbelievable THIS IS SOMETHING EXACTLY IN MY MIND SINCE DAY 1 OF MY WORK LIFE BUT I NEVER KNEW HOW TO EXPLAIN TO PEOPLE AND MOST PEOPLE JUST THINK YOU’RE LAZY OR CRAZY! No one understands that it’s not I don’t want to work but it’s the working style that I’m not able to cope with. No one understands that with proper work style I can be few times more productive with amazing results. I have never been happy in my work life. This inflexible, “normal” work style gave me a very very unhappy life and I know exactly why since day one. I know very clear about what I want and how I want to work for the whole time and I tried many many ways years after years to get out of this “normal” work style which is what the majority of people are doing. I cannot have this unpleasant work style for too long and I would even have depression, fatigue, anger and different kind of sicknesses if I keep going. I already compromised so much with the best of my capacity and it was very hard for me. I also tried to find or manifest something that can work from home even before Covid for years after years as I need the flexibility just like the example in the video but no luck. Until lately I FINALLY have a chance to work from home and I feel I’m about to thrive in life! It’s still not exactly where I want to be but I’m getting there and I’m so grateful that I have more flexibility in life FINALLY. It just took way too long🥲 but I KNOW I’M ON MY WAY. VERY SOON I’LL BE AT WHERE I WANT TO BE🔥 Thanks you for the elaborating what’s on my mind that I was never ever able to, as usual.

@𝐏𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐝 by Teal Swan my love 💕

[@jody8717]

This is a lifetime gift youve given me. Thank you Teal. I will always be your fan! Wondering if you will be coming to Melbourne next year. 🙂

You know what guided my life it's either find a job or be homeless. Insecurity and fear was the factor. To do the things I really wanted to do I would need money to go to school and at the same time have money to support myself for a place to live. I couldn't do both so I had to go find a job and just stick with that job or jobs that I could find. life was rough and no support. But now I have a long time job and I'm ok here. It seems to be get a job so you can have a place to live or end up on the streets so what are you supposed to do if you can go to school and get some training or university and land a good job great but some of us just don't have the support or money to do so so just get a job whatever you can find.

[@tomap535]

What about people working at the garbage disposal? I can't imagine that anyone would see it as their purpose to do that job, but we still need people to work these jobs.

[@cornpop7805]

I really enjoy how she conveys her messages with such poise, calm, and elegance. Most of the messaging itself, I know to be sage and true because it clearly mirrors that from the judeo Christian Bible. Given the various metaphysical imagery in her tattoos and space, I imagine she wouldn't agree with my assessment. But, the good messages are good, even when they're borrowed from elsewhere. I sense she is a seeker of the truth.

[@MMCoala]

Aren t we all Gabe in heart? 😀

[@noor.alwaheed]

Amazing Teal 😮 and very eye opening thank you 🙏🏻

[@INFJparadox]

I hate my *job and employers have become even more controlling. 30 years in the same field and I have been burned out forever. Going into any other field, less pay and harder to survive. Cannot go back to school for a different career considering my age and lack of financial security. I am *Lauren in this example. I'm a single mom with one daughter and so much more happier being at home. Employees are actually more productive. I can't even modify my schedule. Flexibility only applies to certain people. Even in an employee's market after decades. Thank you for this 🙂

[@merlinaseijas1357]

i really appreciate to hear you talking about career - work - capitalism related topics sending love from argentina

[@ninestepstohome8699]

Thank you so much, Teal, for stating this so clearly and succinctly. Work, life, love, and education must be allowed to unfold in harmony. We inevitably get tangled up though, don't we. But it's all a little easier with teachings like yours. 🙏🏻

[@ninestepstohome8699]

🎵 Also, Yaima's "Our Game" is one of my favorite songs 😊

[@eloise3280]

Awesome! So many permission slips right here! Thanks Teal, you are a 🌟!!!

[@lightstream3]

Thank you for addressing this! It's so important to remember contributions and service assist in community and personal development. It's also so important to come to understanding that creative energy is shared and everyone is invited to use their gifts to help in some fashion. Do our best to understand priorities and see the big picture and that we don't need to do it all. We also shouldn't feel we can't contribute in some way.

[@lightstream3]

@𝐏𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐝 by Teal Swan I've just noticed over time that I can have a certain sense of direction for how things should proceed in a work setting. But, it's interesting to find that something inside says to pull back a bit and let someone else sense it too. You know, you can guide and help a team make decisions but ultimately they need to find there inner light too guide them and look to authority as just one means of being productive. When people know the "why" of a situation, a team can accomplish just about anything

[@zacharywiles8159]

Really good. So everyone’s alignment is uniquely there’s. beautiful.

[@indianagirl500]

Strive to Thrive Tea Swan I hear your truths in your words I see how you open minds Thank you

[@tigerbokken6922]

Love your examples. I can totally relate to Gabe's one. For me a "normal" life style based on carrier or family was never possible, everytime I try, I breakdown. It gaves me things to think about, a bit of hope and light. Thank you.

[@williamwest6262]

Fantastic channel, fantastic videos, fantastic insight. Just... Fantastic!

Definitely true for every single aspect of life

[@belove5308]

💓🙏💓 This is one of the most important messages that I’ve received lately! Thank you so very much for the reminder of the absolute importance of customization in all aspects of this magical life!!!

[@Trinity30585]

@𝐏𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐝 by Teal Swan I had gotten a reply to talk at the time I was out of town working. I would like that but there's so much to say I wouldn't know where to begin. How could anyone not talk to you for eternity. Ty so much 💓 I wanna say more I can text later today.

[@Trinity30585]

Ty for replying Teal . How are you? The understanding you have is extraordinary. I watched a recent video and I feel for you I hope your ok. I'm not a hulu fan- ironically they brought me here. Obviously the universe did not them. Been very busy last few days I will text again soon. . Ty Teal Swan

[@Soniaharmony]

Teal 🪷You Rock!!

[@Tutterzoid]

Thank you for this content :)

[@sitka49]

Work-life balance where do I begin, I work 12- 14 hour days sometimes 7 days a week for sometimes weeks on end I did that for years while my wife was home raising our three kids there were no date nights, there were no vacations, there were no nothings. I work a lot of holidays , birthdays anniversaries you name it. My wife was a strong woman raising our kids at home but she was burned out as I was after 14 years of that. And I also missed out on a lot of the kids growing up too.

[@Rainbow2dcore]

This is extremely wide and complex topic yet well put and simplified. Amazing video and information for each soul's journey of solid truth 💙

[@Rainbow2dcore]

Thank you

[@anthis4297]

Teal you are amazing! Respect 🙏

[@yordantodorov7105]

I work 12 hours a day sometimes more 6 days a week even Christmas, new year and my birthday! Have something to say about my life work balance?

[@8starflower8]

I love seeing ur ads 🥰

[@iwasbornunderwater]

This sure stopped all my complaining in its tracks. I am a Lauren with some flexibility but...with no discipline. Thank you Teal.

[@s.fischer4562]

That's true! They have syphoned our time and energy! Enslavement! It is so strange! 🤔🤨

[@karinadudzicz9907]

I really needed this. Thank You🙏

[@sagicorn1291]

This is such an important message and concept for all of us to think about personally AND about how we view others. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@salempsybin2831]

@tealswan I love the use of Yaima's-Our game at the end. It's long been one of my favorite tracks. Also the examples you give clearly illustrate complex ideals and make the concepts easy to grasp. thankyou for all that you do💖

[@B82-z7c]

A job with purpose that I also enjoy. Sounds great but that would really require massive change in the job market and society

[@UnstoppableVi]

Seriously. I would love this too.

[@madebym5359]

this has been the most helpful, applicable, and educational video i have seen to date by you, Teal. thank you so much for enlightening us and for all of your time and efforts and talks and inspirations.

[@zdenkafialova8727]

Oh my, timing is the best! same as an example of Lorain? - I've just last week started to look for a job that can be done from home. To accommodate other interests (family, dog training, self improvement, building a house... it's a lot :D ) and a side job I have. To be more flexible ♥️

[@Metaphyical0samak]

Thank you real swan plus teal swan
