Let's talk WORK/LIFE Balance! HOW THE F does that work and what does it even mean?Well quite frankly it differs from person to person and this is where your WHY comes into play!Just keeping it real here, this shit is hard! The most IMPORTANT thing I learned and well quite frankly still learning is, just like in comparing yourself to someone is that everything is SITUATIONAL! (Insert the Peewee Herman buzz word of the day scream) I totally just aged myself haha.Taking a step back and understanding your WHY is a big part of figuring out your balance. The question I learned to ask myself from my business coach, Richard Bridges, is that when you say YES to something what are you saying NO to? Doing this has helped me determine ...what am I sacrificing and am I willing to sacrifice it. In this scenario of buzzworthy work/life balance, no formula is the same. It's a stepping stone. Starting with that question will help you define where your give and take is and perhaps even help define your WHY.The ability to create a choice is a conscious decision one can make only for themselves. I'll say that louder for the people in the back...THE ABILITY TO CREATE A CHOICE IS A CONSCIOUS DECISION ONE CAN MAKE ONLY FOR THEMSELVES.Give yourself a chance to make a choice before you feel like you have no option. Where there's a will there's a way!It's ok to reach out to your tribe and ask for support when you need it. It takes a village and that doesn't go for just raising kids it's just as relevant for raising your business!It's a step, a conscious choice we have to make to ask for support, to step out of our comfort zone, and to know when to say NO. Create your choice and choose what fuels you.(photography credit: Aliyah Dastour with Alimond Photography)
