“Before I rise,
like a phoenix from the ashes
or a blossom from a barren winter branch,
I must learn to dance in the burning
of each golden falling leaf.” - Tianna

Work/life balance. We’ve all heard that phrase before. It sounds simple, but it’s easier said than done. Many of us often find ourselves overworked, stressed, impatient, or full of anxiety when we realize that there just aren’t enough hours in the day. Sometimes, things happen (like unpleasant and even scary physical symptoms in our bodies) that remind us to check in with ourselves.
We can do better by learning how to qualify urgency, set boundaries, slow down, and do things differently - in ways that are more aligned with our values and how we want to feel. Achieving a healthy work/life balance requires managing our professional and personal lives in sustainable ways to keep our energy flowing, and our minds and bodies healthy.
