About this listen
For those hoping to improve their work/life balance, this book offers the perfect mix of clear advice and practical suggestions to help you work out your priorities, reduce your stress levels, and identify the positive steps that can make your life easier.
If you feel overwhelmed by the constant juggling of different areas of your life, this book can help. There's so much pressure on many people today to succeed at work that sometimes 'real life' tends to take a backseat. With the rise in flexible working and increased options to work from home, the boundaries can become even more blurred, and your relationships with friends, family, partner, and children can all suffer as you try to cram everything into a normal day.
Whether you want to reevaluate and improve your current situation, or opt for a complete change of scene with a career break, Balance Your Life and Work will help you to make all the right moves. Containing step-by-step guidance and action points, top tips to bear in mind for the future, common mistakes and advice on how to avoid them, summaries of key points, and lists of handy resources, this handy guide is here to help.©2022 Bloomsbury Publishing (P)2022 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc

Story
The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.
