Coaching for Work-Life Balance
Webster defines BALANCE as:
- A state of equilibrium
- Mental or emotional stability
- To bring into harmony or proportion
Why is Balance so difficult to achieve and maintain?
Work-Life Balance
Living in balance makes it possible to be fully alive and to live by making choices in the moment. In balance we have the energy, attention, and space in our lives to seize new opportunities. We can also more easily recognize potential pitfalls or learning opportunities without falling headlong into them.
Balance is a moving target. From day-to-day, our own point of balance can change depending on how much energy we have available and where our focus is. Like the juggler who keeps throwing another ball into the air, the more things we have going in our life the more difficult it is to keep them all up without dropping one.
As the pace of our lives and communications accelerate, so does our need to stay in balance. A life out of balance can seem like insanity.
Balance is about returning to the center. Living in the extremes is okay for the short term. In the long run, it creates stress and subsequent health problems and keeps us from achieving what we want most in life.
The ability to find and maintain balance is a skill. I can help you learn this skill. For many clients this will be a long-term process. For some it will be a matter of learning a few tools and being held accountable for applying them.
