LiveWorkWell: Work-Life Fusion!


Greetings,

The Perfect Blend...After reading a recent blog article in the Harvard Business Review website entitled 'Embrace the Work-Life Imbalance', I decided to take a different approach to the seemingly never ending discussion about Work-Life Balance that many of us dream of, yet never seem to achieve. Why think that when work ends, personal life begins or that each must be kept compartmentalized? As we approach Springtime, we tend to think of new beginnings and moving forward. Let's give ourselves an exercise that each time we see, hear or think the word 'balance' in terms of Work-Life, we insert 'fusion' and begin to create a perfect blend for our own life. It is said to take 40 days for a new habit to take hold, and when we change our habits, we change our lives. The key is our mind and exploring ways that introduce a positive pattern into our psyche!

We believe in taking a proactive approach to live well and stay well. In the ever increasing busyness of daily life, research tells us there continues to be an unmet need for many to create a fusion of work productivity, personal satisfaction, family life and relaxation that at the same time encourages us to be present and fully engaged in those different aspects.  

   

From a health perspective, an ongoing imbalance when ignored can lead to chronic stress beyond the typical daily stressors and can have an adverse effect on our well-being. Embrace this Imbalance and use it as a motivation to make positive life changes. We can help!

 

May your days be filled with Love, Health, Happiness, Kindness and Productivity!


Breathe deeply, Walk daily and Smile!

With Love, Peace and Light,
