Keeping a Good Work/Life Balance and Staying Healthy #WMWeek17

#WMWeek17, Relationships & Money, Women's Money Week
Our lives are becoming increasingly more busy as we strive to achieve careers and work to fulfill our dreams.  Sometimes it seems like a never-ending race to get things done during a day that seems way too short.  The separation between work life and home life is becoming blurred.  We need to find that balance once again to keep us sane and healthy. Life is already stressful without bringing our work home with us.  Family, kids, or other activities that are important to you await at home.  If we don’t get time to relax or unwind, work performance and relationships can suffer, and we become susceptible to illness.  Work/life balance is important to keep stress levels to a minimum and to not lose ourselves in our constant push for professional success.Create…

The more you despair, the more you lose hope and feel powerless to make any meaningful changes. News flash: this is your life, and you’re the only one who can improve it. And the first step to creating change and hope is gratitude. Feel free to roll your eyes at me. I know this answer sounds somewhere between “too good to be true” and…

Women’s hats include the mom hat, the wife hat, the friend hat, the daughter hat, the sister hat, and the employee hat.With so many roles that women have to play, the role of career often becomes rushed, half-hearted, or interrupted. Women have so many demands on them that they cannot always live out their dreams in the workplace. Working can become a burden, instead of a way to fulfill ourselves.READ MORE >>provided by Money Crashers

Can you attract more money?We’ve all heard about the “Law of Attraction”—that what you focus on, you attract.  (This was popularized in the book and movie, The Secret.) Said another way—many believe that your thinking creates and brings to you what you think about. While this may sound a bit overstated, I do believe that what you focus on tends to expand. Therefore, it is very important to be aware of what you focus your thoughts on.  Yes – the Law of Attraction can be very powerful.Read More >>by Mikleann Valterra
