Balancing Life - Student Edition

Send us Fan Mail

Today it is all about balancing our life.

According to the financial diet, nearly 80% of all students work while attending school. And Mental Health America research shows that 70% of all students are stressed about finances, the research goes on to emphasize that with "work, school, activities, and friends all demanding attention, many students struggle with balancing and prioritizing the different areas of their life." So when it comes to trying to balance your life - hear me say, you are NOT alone.

During my main college years of pursuing my Associates and then my Bachelors, I worked (there was one point I was working three jobs). I volunteered in the community. I helped babysit weekly for my two oldest nephews. And yes, I went to school full-time (including taking 21 credit hours). In the midst of it all, it was just life - and it was busy, but now looking back I honestly don't know how it worked (I prefer to call those God moments). 

So, when it was recently brought to my attention that many of the teens around me were all struggling with the same need, balancing life - from work and school to home and personal relationships, I dug in deep into those memories, researched through some of my old college stuff, and thought if I could help them with some tips that I used, perhaps it may be a game-changer in successfully balancing their life. I sure hope these 5 tips will help you this coming school term too. 

If you'd like more one on one assistance in finding the balance in your life, I provide life coaching. Feel free to book just a one-hour consultation, or we can do on-going coaching calls which are typically thirty minutes 1-2x a month. Check out more on my website at www.hollycurby.com.

Whatever you find yourself trying to balance in life - work, school, home - just be intentional and know there is no secret formula to balancing it all, but rather you determining what matters to you - then going for it! I wish you the best in finding the balance that is best for you.
