Why Less Is More
As a coach, I believe in the power of living a balanced life, and I try to be a role model for my clients. One of the things that I do to maintain balance in my life is to take the first week of the month off every month. Yes, that's right! By doing this, I am forced to maintain balance in my life. I am also refreshed and more focused when I am working. While you may not be in a position to take a week off every month, I want you to keep in mind how important balance is. By maintaining a balanced life, your stress levels go down, your focus improves, and you are healthier and more present with others. I personally find that my best ideas come to me when I am relaxing and "away" from my day to day responsibilities.
What I want for you is for you to keep this in mind as you move forward in your life. Make sure that you give yourself permission to take a vacation often. By treating yourself well and maintaining positive work-life balance, you will find that the quality of your life improves dramatically!
