Life Balance

Yoga - Reading the Bible - Knitting - Enjoying my pets and nature - Walking - Playing with my grandchildren.
—Guest Janelle in Missouri

Little Breaks

I find that if I give myself little breaks during the day to rest, play, or talk to friends, I don't need a big break as much. This, to me, is balance.
—Guest Sall

My Mom

This may sound odd, but when I feel like I'm doing too much, I call my mom and she can tell when I need a break, and she tells me what to do. Yes, I'm an adult, but sometimes it helps to hear it from mommy.
—Guest Cameron

Clear My Schedule

Sometimes I just take the day off. Sometimes two days. There's always something important I shouldn't blow off, but I've found that if I really need the break, I'll take it in the form of a play day or a sick day anyway, so I may as well have fun!
