I have made the same New Year’s resolution for the past few years to achieve work-life balance. . . I usually strike out within weeks at times glancing at my clock in the wee hours of the morning as I finish up psychological reports and cursing at the world for not having more time in the day. .... . One mindset shift that allowed me to continue to achieve my goal of work-life balance was accepting that at times I will have to temporarily focus more on work or more on non-work. . . It’s not going to be perfect but recognizing that it was temporary allowed me to see that I can bring back that balance . . I also didn’t allow it to continue for an excessive period of time. . . . Instead of trying to strike a balance everyday ((which didn’t work and caused me to give up on my goal early on and caused me to have the same new year’s resolution)) shift your mindset to striking an overall balance, on a weekly or monthly basis . . . . . . #getthehelpyouneed #thechoiceisyours #breakthecycle #mentalhealthwarrior #mentalhealthstigma #mentalhealth #therapy #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthrecovery #mentalhealthadvocate #mentalhealthadvocacy #mentalillness #mentalbreakdown #mentalwellness #mentalhealthcounseling #mentalhealthsupport #mentalhealthisimportant #managinganxiety #childtherapy #pandemicparenting #childmentalhealth #socialskillsforkids #wholechild #familychildcare #momsofphilly #parentsupport #mindfulparenting #socialemotionalskills #socialemotionaldevelopment See more
