Hello my dear friends, I hope you are well and that you have had an excellent start to the week. Today I come with a topic that I think is of concern to many of us, especially those of us who are now part of those people who left their country in search of a better quality of life and to be able to fulfill their dreams and goals and we are still working on it.
I believe that for many the answer is the second option, most of us spend our lives wanting to work more and more so that supposedly our quality of life improves, but in many occasions the opposite happens, our mental and physical health ends up deteriorating and not even having all the money in the world we will be able to recover that wear and tear and time invested.
Most of us were educated with the purpose of working all our lives until we could get a good retirement, we were not given the option to think beyond, but today there are many strategies that we can implement to generate more income without so much physical wear.
In many countries people work almost all day, currently I live in Colombia Bogota and work 13 hours a day, the truth is that I think this is not life. I have a better quality of life than in my country certainly, but I feel that life is going away only at work, I have no social life and when I have days off I am too tired to enjoy it, so I think it is time to change things.
We all know that money is important, most work to that end, but there must be a balance because our health is also important, without it we can not do anything, so we must do everything possible to take care of it.
Excessive work can bring us many consequences, such as constant fatigue, low productivity in the future, permanent stress, irritability, social isolation, can generate sleep disorders, anxieties and above all not take advantage of the really important moments to have a good quality of life.
In my opinion, we should think more about ourselves as human beings, share with our loved ones and live the life we have, because all that remains of work is tiredness.
Let's not wait for our energies to run out in order to think beyond, let's become aware and implement strategies that allow us to work less and live more. Savings and investments are a good start.
