How’s your work-life balance? If you’re like most of us – it’s out of whack. But guess what? That’s OK! In this episode, you’ll learn strategies for imbalancing in the most wonderful ways. Todays podcast was inspired by a program I was hired to present. A program on work-life balance. After preparing my talk, I knew I had to be honest with these women and share my reality. Which is not one of balance. But, the good news is that it is one of intention and joy. And I think you’ll enjoy these suggestions for balancing your life by intentionally imbalancing your life. Key Ideas:
Resources: Changes That Heal, by Dr. Henry Cloud Encouraging Word of the Week: Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path.” Questions: What do you think of this proposal? Do you tend to be more balanced or strategically imbalanced? How are you at saying no and setting boundaries? I’d love to hear your comments below. And here are some inspirational photos of strategic imbalance in action! Taken at the Sundial Bridge performance of BANDALOOP this past June.
