As a life coach, I help my clients simplify their goals into meaningful action so they gain clarity on where to start as they set out to achieve their goals. A huge component is finding the balance between our personal and professional lives. Work/life integration is a journey. As life changes, what "being balanced" means will also change, given the situation, so we must constantly adjust. Learn 7 practical tools for getting focused, and enjoy the reflection activities along the way!

2. “Success is a journey, not a destination. The
doing is often more important than the outcome.”
-Arthur Ashe-
• I view work/life integration the same way..
Life is ever changing so we will continue to make
adjustments in each area of our lives as situations change.
So “balance” in one season of life may mean something
different for you as you enter a new one.

3. The science of it….
• You probably already knew that according to the American
Psychological Association, approximately, work has been cited
as a MAJOR stressor.
• Each area of life impacts the other, and the “life” component
supports the work piece.

we feel like doing
