Work life balance - take time for you!

You may have decided to become an entrepreneur or run your own business, so that you can have an amazing work life balance, I know I did.  You love what you do and are committed to your business, your calling has become your vocation and you are filled with passion and excitement for what you do.

Being with the children
Additionally, you also love being able to drop or pick up your kids up from school.  Make pizzas with your children, as I will be doing later and just generally interacting and engaging with them during daytime hours and enjoy being their parents.


How to balance it all?
However, sometimes it is difficult to strike a healthy work life, balance with all the pressure you may experience as a woman.  Wanting to be there for your children, to really invest in their lives.  Yet also wanting to create the most successful and dynamic business for yourself and others.  Wanting to create a business, were you impact and transform the lives of others, supporting them in creating the lives of their dreams.

Nourishing yourself spiritually and physically
My life lesson this week and a discussion I had with one of my client's this week was about striking an effective work life balance between being yourself, a parent/wife and running your own business.   As well as factoring in time for developing, growing and marketing your business, and working with your clients.   Time for being a mother and wife/partner and it is still important to include time for yourself.  You cannot avoid nurturing and nourishing yourself both spiritually; through meditation or prayer and physically; through exercise and spa treatments etc...  Otherwise you will have found that you have merely swapped being married to a job, to being married to your business.   Yes you may have to work hard in the early years, however, how can you serve others, when you are empty yourself.

Take time for you and you will find yourself even more effective in your life transition, less overwhelmed and living an amazing journey.

You are the best and deserve the best.

Be blessed to be a blessing!
