Find Work-Life Balance [Audiobook]

Many of us live our lives in the pursuit of more: more money, more prestige, more accomplishments. In return for giving so much of ourselves over to productivity and goals, we often sacrifice our health, our relationships, and, ultimately, our well-being. How do we strike the right balance between the increasingly heavy expectations of our professions and our own personal needs? Author, life coach, and leadership expert Dr. Christine Carter believes that we need to completely rethink the way we approach our work in relation to the rest of our lives. And in the 10 lessons of Find Work-Life Balance, that is exactly what she will help you do. What does it mean to transform how we think about work? Well, it looks something like: Learning how to manage conflicting priorities. Setting boundaries and taking rest breaks. Breaking harmful patterns that lead to burnout and exhaustion. Cultivating behaviors that allow some tasks to be on "auto-pilot." Dealing with mental clutter and minimizing distractions. Utilizing healthy de-stressors and coping mechanisms. Establishing "better-than-nothing" habits. Of course, building new habits and a healthier mindset is not something you will accomplish overnight. As you will see, these efforts take time—and sometimes you will have setbacks and need to find your footing again. Dr. Carter's intention is not to transform your life within a matter of days. Rather, the goal of Find Work-Life Balance is to meet you where you are right now so you can map a manageable course for where you finally want to be.
