It seems to be a reoccurring pattern for me. I am doing very well. I am happy in my work and am still managing to spend enough time with my family. I even have a bit of me-time every now and then. Then, I get into a few new projects or an extra bill or three arrive and I begin to get stressed out. I frantically try to make up time. Family time gets rushed and me-time nonexistent. I try harder and harder and wonder why I’m stuck in a cycle I can’t escape. Sound familiar?
Your Work, Your Life…Your Way sets out seven key concepts. Essentially, they are seven areas of confusion, waste, and frustration that feed that seemingly inescapable cycle. Going through the exercises, you gradually begin to see things more clearly. You rearrange your priorities. You let go of things that aren’t all that important in the big picture. Really, you start to see your time and energy as a valuable resource and make wiser choices.
I began reading this book believing I would get a few hints and tips. I read through the text telling myself that I could do the exercises in my head. A few chapters in, something clicked. I started writing and trying to figure things out. I made changes in the way I see balance and set out a few boundaries. It’s a work in progress but at least I feel the rumblings of change.
