Work-Life Balance, May You Rest in Peace It's dead, but here's how we can honor it. www.workingmother.com By Julie Teahan March 14, 2017
“So back to the death of work-life balance. Stop fixating on the figurative scales of your life. Stop counter-balancing and measuring who gets what and what gets more. Stop trying to compartmentalize and divide. It is a fruitless exercise. Instead, accept that every day you will be making adjustments in order to accomplish all the roles you fulfill. A little to the left. A little to the right. Up. Down. Sideways. You will never be finished making these adjustments. That’s life.”

Over the years, I have come to realize that… FINDING OUR BALANCE REALLY BECOMES ABOUT THE THINGS WE ARE ABLE LEAVE BEHIND…
GROW ROOTS AND A STABLE FOUNDATION AND SUDDENLY YOU WILL WORRY LESS ABOUT BALANCE…..
When there is worry and doubt… HAVE YOUR FAITH IN THE RIGHT PLACE AND YOU WILL FIGURE OUT THAT IT WASN'T REALLY EVER ABOUT YOU ANYWAY….
