Work life, Spiritual Life Balance

[ModernMage]

I am having a very difficult time balancing my schedule to support spiritual study and practice. I am a very essential part of my workplace and am quite excellent at my job but it absolutely drains me. I have very little energy to accomplish anything besides a basic meditation/ritual routine. By the time I am home my nerves are so fried from work I need to unwind before doing spiritual work.

What can I do to move past this? I am making good money but I am not advancing in other ways besides that. There is so much more I want to accomplish (including giving back to the community here) however my job is consuming my time and energy.

Yoga. I’ve been lacking to. But bro/sis if you can manage to wake up jist 1 hour before work, do kundalini yoga and atleast whatever meditations and protection you can get it. Cold shower, your energy will br amplified, you’ll have protection and when your off, you should still have some time to work on your spirituality. I shouldn’t talk I feel like I’m behind to but, atleast try plus it sucks having a guilt like that inside of you when your hearts really in this.

I understand you, sometimes is very hard to do what I was planning.
When I get tired from work, I listen to music to relax and tidy up around the room a bit.
I try to wake up an hour and a half early to meditate, in the morning I have a hard time concentrating, in the evening I feel much more focused. Sometimes it takes me a long time to clear my mind and it irritates me that it takes a while and I am not efficient with the program I have made. I have been neglecting yoga lately. On days when I cook, I feel like my time is running out and I can't do what I want to do.
My luck is that I don't need much sleep, generally 6 hours, and that's how I manage to complete what I have to do most of the case.
Sometimes I feel bad that I skip meditations or rituals and I try to tell myself that instead of complaining that I didn't do something today, tomorrow I'd better make the effort to finish what I set out to do.
Try to sleep more and found something that give you energy.
