You might find motivational messages that tell you to become obsessed with your passions. Live, breathe, eat, sleep them, and soon they will become your whole life.

It’s always good to work hard toward your goals so that your vision becomes your reality. And if you want to outperform the status quo, you’ll need to dedicate a lot of time and energy to make it happen. But sometimes that obsession mentality can lead to burnout.

To help balance your health and personal well-being, how about practicing structured focus, time and energy management, and a mix of effective planning and action? Oh, and rest. Definitely make time for rest.

A more balanced approach may not seem as exciting or epic, but it’s worth being healthy so that you can enjoy the pursuit of your goals.
