Road Signs

Business travel is an interesting thing. For those of us who travel extensively, it is clear that business travel and leisure travel are very different events. The difference is the stress level. An overload of working business travel can make you feel like you are forever being pulled away from home and rest. For longer trips, you learn that the world will not wait while you are gone, and unfinished personal projects will freeze where you left them.

Rather than focus on the difficult side of travel, I have elected to see the trip as a part of the bigger picture that brings me closer to my goals- whatever they may be. I choose to bring meaning to each trip I take, looking for a new sign or lesson along the way. Any moment can have a subtext with different levels of meaning among the signs and hidden messages. Of course, sometimes a glass of water is just a glass of water, but the trip definitely becomes more interesting.

Rest! A good thing.

It’s Friday! When was the last time you  had a whole weekend to yourself? (Saturday AND Sunday?) Rest is a good thing. Plan for it. Make sure you get yours! Rest is your Friend....

Sharing Perspectives- Balancing Insights

Hello Blog Fans,

I’m back- And yes, I did change the name of my blog to Balancing Insights because I did finally “finish something!” The e-book is called Stress Less: 10 Balancing Insights on Work and Life, and the website is called www.BalancinfgInsights.com, and the Facebook page is up. (Feel free to applaud.) 

What did I learn? I talk a good story- but it really is hard to follow through with so many irons in the fire… while writing a book about following through, saving yourself, and lowering your stress level- with so many irons in the fire. I just want others to know- you are not alone. We can all share ways to lower our stress levels and live longer, happier, healthier lives. Feel free to write in.
