One topic within music that I feel hasn&#8217;t been spoken about so much is the importance of finding the balance between being a businessman\/woman, artist performer and trying to stay healthy mentally and physically.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">[space height=&#8221;10&#8243;]<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">When I first dived into the London music scene with my news songs I carved away at from time travelling the world, I was exhilarated and terrified to delve into the artist\/performer part, but mostly the business side. I knew it was imperative to educate myself and partake in this new role, the one just can&#8217;t exist without the other.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">[space height=&#8221;10&#8243;]<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">But I have been surprised at how hard I have been on myself. I later released when I gave my self no time to reflect on all that was going on; always pushing forward, planning, networking, touring, writing and reaching a point where I felt guilty doing anything other that music, I was beginning to suffer. I have a vision, a relentless work ethic and don&#8217;t expect other people to create success for me. So it has been so hard to find a line, when really you can keep going 24\/7, even with me replying to emails at 1am in the morning!<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">[space height=&#8221;10&#8243;]<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">But after running myself into the ground so to speak, on the other side I have come out so much healthier. Just because I allow myself some time to see friends or have a night off, doesn&#8217;t mean I&#8217;m wasting time, opportunity etc. It its essential to keeping healthy.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">[space height=&#8221;10&#8243;]<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">I hold the highest expectations for myself and career, but I realised without a little balance you can jeopardise all that you work so hard for.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">[space height=&#8221;10&#8243;]<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Find Anna online on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/annapancaldi\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pg\/annapancaldimusic\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>, and her <a href=\"http:\/\/www.annapancaldi.com\" target=\"_blank\">official website<\/a>.
