a) The level of balance in the areas with most hours dedicated to depends on the beliefs moral values and interests. The interest on study and hygiene of the household is top
priority in most societies. The age and capabilities plays a role in the daily engagements and their immense importance to our lives. Based on my weekly activities I spend most of
my time engage with education and ADL activities, which mostly included my family. Take to considaration I am from society, where family plays major role in life, but I try to
balance my life berween family and education. Those, two aspects are extremely meaningful for me.
b) A healthy life requires 8 hours of sleep and time breaks to psychologically develop the emotional intelligence through recreational activities. For example, education, opens for
many possibilities and enables one to lead a healthy life. The wellbeing of others is the first step to our overall well-being. Caring for others, give me sense to live, make me happy
and give me opportunity to feeling sense of accomplishment benefits my well-being. Occupation balance relates to health and wellbeing the aspect of people’s strong desire to
belong, be part of something beyond, focus on academic goals and balance life demand. It is worth concluding that promoting wellbeing provides the insight to the relationship
between occupation, identity well-being and meaning (Ekelman, Bazyk, & Bazyk, 2013).

flexibility and performance is maintained and occupationally consistent.

Occupational balance fully depends on the individual’s culture of engaging in the right amount of occupations and with clearly defined specifications. There is vital importance of
appreciating the relationship between balanced lifestyles and health. the result of the stuffy performed by Wilcock et al. showed that occupational balance was perceived as
approximately equal to involvement in activities that are physical, mental and social (Wilcock et al., 1997). Therefore, the engagements that we get ourselves into promotes our
health, and prevents diseases by boosting the immunity and knowledge on the life choices.
