Here is a quick breakdown of each branch of the Six Pillars of Work-Life Balance mind map.

It offers you guidelines for learning from your emotional experiences and how to address individual emotional experiences adequately. It also provides you with numerous self-reflection questions to help you better manage and redirect your emotions throughout the day.
- Achieving Personal Balance: The third branch of this map introduces the six pillars of balance. These pillars include work, leisure, family, self-improvement, relationships, and children. Work-life balance is achieved when each one of these areas is managed adequately. Here you are presented with numerous self-reflection questions to help you make changes in each area. Successfully making these changes will help you accomplish your ultimate goal of achieving a work-life balance.
- Plan of Action: In the end, work-life balance can only be achieved when we have a clear path to follow. The final branch of this map outlines the questions we should be asking and the areas we must focus on to lockdown a work-life balance routine.
This map provides a roadmap and framework for achieving a work-life balance in six critical areas of your life. Referencing it regularly and committing it to memory will help you to embed these concepts and ideas into your subconscious mind.
A mind map, of course, does this beautifully because it mirrors the synaptic connections made in your brain as you try to establish new habits of thought and behavior. It brings together key concepts and ideas that help your brain to fully integrate and process this information. The brain, subsequently, rewires itself as it attempts to establish new habits of mind. It’s an ideal tool for creating lasting change and transformation.
Stick with these principles, memorize and incorporate them into your personal and professional life, and you will find that achieving work-life balance is quite straight-forward. All that’s required is developing the ability to monitor and manage your psychology more effectively.
