Achieve better work-life balance with this mindset shift.

I don’t diet. I don’t strain myself during workouts. I don’t work myself to the core. Anymore.

I’ve been there, done that (what working mom hasn’t?), and I’ve found this to be a restrictive way of living.

Where is the freedom if there is no moderation?

Too many restrictive, self-imposed rules did not set me up for happiness and health. So I had to redirect course with the everything-in-moderation approach: Not too much. Not too little. Just right. I apply this to pretty much everything. Some examples:

• Working

• Sleeping

• Eating

• Exercising

• Drinking water

• Spending money

You get the gist.

Moderation, I’ve found, is the closest thing I can get to balance.

It’s the key to getting things done while also enjoying little moments that make life big.
