Work-Life Balance is Utter Nonsense!
What did that subject line just say? Work life balance is nonsense?
Can it really be true?
The answer is absolutely YES!
It’s a term we hear all the time which has us looking for it around every corner, behind every door and deep in our minds. Like the unachievable goal you can n e v e r quite seem to reach.
There isn’t any such thing as work-life balance. Work flows into the home and home flows into work, and yes we need to have a balance but it’s a different kind of balance.
You know the feeling when you’re unmotivated in your day and just not feeling ‘it’?
That ‘how can it only be Tuesday?’ feeling is driven by what you pay attention to.
If you’ve had a rough day at work, those feelings spill over into your home life. Of course they do! Because that’s real life. The balance you need to build isn’t between your work and your home, but instead it’s about where you put your energy and attention so you can live more peacefully.
Sounds zen doesn’t it? It’s possible and VERY achievable.
A mental monster can be created out of almost any situation that gives you trouble. A mental monster can only grow if you feed it.
Oh boy, and do you feed it!
With worry,
with fear,
with anxiety,
and with assumptions.
How do I find that balance of dealing with a situation but not letting it take over my whole world?
I’m SO glad you asked!
This is the balance I help with.
The one that lets you be home when you’re home, enjoying every ounce of loveliness your family and your surroundings have to offer.
AND
The one that lets you be at work when you’re at work, thriving in your work world and creating success for your future and your family.
That’s the REAL work-life balance. That’s what I want for you.
Self-sabotage IS a thing, getting hijacked by your emotions IS a thing but it doesn’t have to rule your world.
