I’ve been thinking a lot about balance this week. It’s a usual entrepreneurial week with website changes, interviews, financial considerations, taxes to be done and on and on and on. Adding to the mix this week are family interests–my daughter and oldest grandson are visiting for five days, and my husband is leaving for an overseas business trip, the first since his major surgery. Late every evening I try to assess what I got done or didn’t. It is at this time that my wise coach’s words come back to me, “Bonnie, balance is not a noun, it’s a verb. You will constantly be adjusting priorities and tasks. Sometimes you will be spending much more time in one area, notice you are neglecting another and adjust. That’s just the way it is.”
We After 55s, who have expected we can do it all, lose sight of this wisdom. We cannot only focus on one area at a time, but we can forgive ourselves when we get out of kilter. Take a few minutes, step back, assess your situation and make adjustments.
