Sometimes it's hard to balance them. Work of course happens during work hours but being a mom, wife takes up most of who I am and then me gets blurred at times.
So I would never change my situation because this is my destiny. I will always 100% be a mom and me the other situations may change. If I had to break down my many faces I would say during my day I am a mom 75% of time. VA 15% wife 7% me 3%. So when I am not working I am with my kids so that takes up the time but when kids finally go to bed by 9:30 I can hang with my husband and be a wife. Then there's those occasional mommy dinners or girls night out or my trips to a store alone or even car rides where I can focus on me.
I know it sounds like there needs to be more of a balance but think about your life. What role are you most of the time.
I take care of a lot of people and there's only 24 hrs in a day. If I sleep 5-6 hrs a night, work 4 hours a day, the rest of day I am a mom and wife and me. Whenever I focus on one "face" I take time away from being another part of who I am. Can you really be multiple roles at the same time.
I know as kids grow the % will change in how my time is being spent and that's where many people loose who they are but try to focus more on the "me" role. I may work more or get more time to be a wife and do things with my husband or take more of a me role and focus on my hobbies like writing or painting. Don't give up yourself completely to one role. Try to have more of a balance. Try to also remember that those balances may change and it's ok.
How many faces/roles do you have?
