Stop & Think: Creating New Awareness
Stop & Creating New Awareness will help you create awareness around the choices you make each day that either support or sabotage your desired outcome to create meaningful engagement and sustainable balance between the interconnected (and blurry) roles, relationships, and responsibilities that make up your life. Whether you call it work-life balance, work-life harmony or work-life integration the challenges faced are the same. The good news is you don’t have to reinvent your life, quit your job, “lean in”, “thrive” or go to therapy to feel more in balance. Rather, the key to balance lies within cultivating awareness — awareness around your values, words, and actions. Cultivating awareness is no small task; it takes an open attitude and a willingness to create a future that is different from the past. You’ll be happy to know that it’s not rocket science either. Using a simple easy to read format this books gets right to the point and empowers readers to create awareness around the choices available to them each day to create balance as a lifestyle.
