I just had to add a comment to say YES you are so right. We live a privileged and lucky life and try to cram in as much as possible. My diary reads pretty much like yours. I over planned for the weekend and over activitise my children - because they demand
it! Downtime is so important for all of us and this has just reminded me that I need to plan it in- otherwise somehow things just creep in and before I know it I'm rushing round like a headless chicken - again!

Ah yes. The mental 'weekend' where you're supposed to be resting but end up being busier than during the week... I have to confess I don't enjoy the frenzied activity-filled weekends very much and heave a sigh of relief when our boys demand one at home
in their pyjamas :)

Aren't weekends suppose to be about slowing down? We get to see friends, relax at home and have quality family time. I love my weekends even though I work Sundays - that's one of the reasons I love them I suppose.

Life Work Balance Tip: Feel the Self-Limiting Belief....and Do It Anyway!

Monday, September 20, 2010

Or should this post be entitled, "When is a self-limiting belief not actually self-limiting"?  I was inspired to write this post by one of my FaB clients who I coached earlier this week on a self-limiting belief around money.  I felt this life work balance tip would help you with your self-limiting beliefs.

This couldn't have come at a more appropriate time. Only about ten minutes earlier I received an email offering an interesting job opportunity. While reading the i-did-this-in-the-90s-with-my-eyes-closed description to my husband, I commented that the sad thing was that I was doubting that i could deliver on the project. Thanks for reinforcing the fact that this way of thinking was b******s.

This was a headline in last Wednesday’s Daily Telegraph.  Apparently, in 1990, British workers spent 37% of their day working "intensively", then peaked at 49% in 1995 but this fell to 40% in the latest update covering 2005.   Read More
