The first solution, balancing work and play, is something that I do on a daily basis. It is really important for me to take care of my priorities such as my job or my school work, but it is just as important to take care of myself and do things that I enjoy. I work as a makeup artist and absolutely love my job and the people that I work with. Although it is considered work, I have a lot of fun doing it. However, when I get home it is my time to relax or do something fun with my boyfriend like take a walk or see a movie.
The second solution, changing the way we feel about our everyday activities, is something that I have been working on this past year. I tend to get cranky and irritated when I am doing something I do not necessarily enjoy, but I have learned that having a positive attitude can change the way I go about my daily activities. Finding joy in the things that I do makes me much happier of a person.
The third solution, integration, explains that joy and pain are oftentimes found in the same place. Life isn't easy, to get to a good or happy place we have to struggle. In order to get good grades in school, I sometimes have to stay up for hours doing research, studying, or writing papers. Although I may experience some pain, I see the joy in this hard work.
