MORE IDEAS FROM THE ARTICLE
It’s not about rest and finally getting that much-needed break, though it does include these aspects.
Balance is about distributing demands so we can stay on track. And sometimes that takes a lot of work.
We have to make purposeful decisions and actions if we want balance. It’s not accidental.
Those decisions and actions will look different for each of us, but they’re essential for all of us just the same.
