Day 10 of 1000: Conquering the Sunday Blues: Balancing Ambition, Stress, and Self-Care

In this video, I dive into the common struggle of Sunday Blues and how it affects my mindset and productivity as the new week approaches. Starting at 1 p.m., the overwhelming thoughts of upcoming tasks, meetings, and responsibilities begin to weigh on me. I share my journey of managing these feelings, drawing inspiration from disciplined individuals like Alex Heroi, and my efforts to push through despite my natural inclination to sleep in and avoid the stress.
I talk about the importance of finding a balance between ambition and self-care, and how focusing too much on goals can sometimes be detrimental. At 39, with new milestones like marriage and thoughts of starting a family, I reflect on the uncertainties of the future and how they contribute to my stress. Join me as I discuss my morning routine, the importance of being intentional with actions, and the ongoing challenge of balancing personal aspirations with daily responsibilities.

Would like to hear your perspective on practicing in California/saturated area. I'm from CA and would love to move back but I feel like in another state I make more as an associate than what I hear most owners make in CA. Why do so many struggle there? And do you feel like it can be predictably overcome if you're smart about it?

In my opinion, the struggle comes from competition and politics. I’m a strong believer that those who will succeed will succeed anywhere, but there are more struggles in a disadvantageous environment.

How do you go about balancing your professional and personal life? It important to be disciplined and focus on progressing your career, however it’s equally important to take a step back and enjoy life to avoid burnout. How do you find and maintain this balance?

[@Dr_andrewchoi]

Balancing professional and personal life is indeed a crucial aspect of overall well-being. I approach this balance with a few key principles:
Perspective on Work Ethic: I recognize that our generation's work-life expectations differ from those of our parents. For example, my dad worked six days a week for over 20 years, embodying a relentless work ethic. While I respect and admire that dedication, I also understand that our generation places a higher value on work-life balance and personal fulfillment.
Hard Work and Enjoyment: I believe in working hard, especially in the early stages of my career. It's essential to build a strong foundation and develop a sense of discipline. However, I also believe that work should be enjoyable. Finding joy in the process and taking pride in my accomplishments helps me stay motivated and reduces the risk of burnout.
To be frank, I am not sure yet. I am in the process of figuring it out. I do know that without work, I won't be able to achieve the "success" that I hope to gain. The type of success I want is not easy, so I get my ass to work and discipline myself through it all.
