As professional women, many of us are struggling with finding the proper balance between our careers and our families. While our bosses demand much of us during the day, we go home to another full-time job where the “bosses” are equally as demanding. The demands of all the roles we play are having a significant and profound effect on many women. How many women do you know that are always exhausted and/or overwhelmed? A relentless schedule can often lead to increased stress and anxiety. Left unchanged, this can lead to more serious health consequences. The real question is: Can we really have it all and be everything to everyone? Or is this just a dream? Why do so many women struggle with working and having a family? Can we get ourselves out of this chaos and live a balanced life? With some effort and determination, I believe we can work to bring balance into our lives. These suggestions focus on family life and can help you take the first step in achieving a healthy balance.
• Identify what your ideal balanced life looks like – This will be different for everyone. Do you want to have a family night every week to just enjoy being with each other? Do you want to have time for yourself to relax and get away from it all? Visualizing what you want from life will make it easier for you to get there.
• Clarify your goals and priorities – Write down what matters most to you. Is it spending quiet time each day reading to your children? Or do you want them involved in a variety of different activities? Expressing what is most important to you is useful when scheduling extra-curricular activities.
• Be selective about commitments – Use the list of goals and priorities that you developed above to decide if this is something that you feel is important. If it’s not, pass on that commitment. Learning to say “no” and mean it is a very empowering tool that can and should be used liberally. If you want to spend more time with your children, don’t volunteer to be on a committee you have no interest in. The reality of life is that we only have 24 hours a day – use them carefully.
• Hire help if you are able – If you can afford to, hire help with certain tasks around the house. You would be amazed how much time you save by having a housekeeper come a couple of times a month to do the heavier cleaning. Having a teenager cut your grass once a week is a relatively inexpensive way to save more time. Many people are available to run errands or do other chores around the house.
• Take time for yourself – This is probably the most important suggestion of all. However, it can have the greatest impact and is most often neglected. Taking a few minutes to yourself each day helps you feel refreshed, recharged and ready to face everything else.
Commit to taking the first step this week in transforming your life. Take a few minutes for yourself today and start to think about what matters most to you and move forward from there. Change won’t necessarily happen overnight, but once you get started, the momentum will grow. Go ahead – get started!

Diary Of A Pedestrian In Cashmere And Thibet Review
Diary Of A Pedestrian In Cashmere And Thibet Overview
The first event after being settled in our new quarters was the arrival of a sheep, presented to us by the Kardar, or chief dignitary of the town, as a mark of affection and distinction. This, according to the strict letter of the law, we should have refused to accept; twenty days marching, however, while it had sharpened our appetites, had rather diminished our stores.

In today’s hectic world, we need to be careful not to over program ourselves or our children. Enjoying the ‘now’ and having quiet time for reflection and self-renewal is essential. Downtime provides time for the body to rest and renew. Simply not doing helps teach the mind and body how to relax and de-stress, and feeds the soul on a fundamental level. Here are five tips on how to include downtime to reduce familial stress and prevent burnout.
Set Limits
Be realistic in your time constraints and set limits on what you will do. Factor in homework, trips to the library, part time jobs, religious activities, sports events, volunteering, and a social life, before committing yourself or your children to one more activity.
Schedule it in
As your calendar begins to fill up be sure to schedule in some quality downtime. Maybe it’s a drive out to the country to enjoy the fall colours, a geocaching excursion with the kids, or browsing the local bookstore for new titles. Figure out something that will nourish you, and write it in at a specific date and time. Include friends and family-downtime doesn’t have to be solitary. Now keep that appointment!
Have Fun
When was the last time you let loose and simply had some fun? Even a routine trip to the grocery store can be fun when approached with the right attitude. Ride the cart through the parking lot; chase your kids down the aisle. Sure, people may think your odd, but you’re getting the job done and enjoying yourself at the same time. Your kids will really thank you as well. They’ll think you’re either cool or crazy. Either way, the stress will be lifted, laughter will prevail, and life will be me meaningful.
Get Active
Whenever you have some downtime get moving. Activity creates energy. Take a brisk walk, do some easy stretches, crank up the tunes and dance around the room. Do something to increase your oxygen intake and get those endorphins pumping. You’ll feel better, look better and have a more optimistic outlook.
Remember, life is a balancing act
As much as we would like to either get it all done or just forget the world and while away the days, life consists of trying to balance effort and relaxation. Sometimes we need to focus on the effort, sometimes on the relaxation. Allow yourself to explore this concept of effort and ease. Teach it to your children – your mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health depends on creating balance throughout life.
Remember your life is what you make it. If you follow these five tips you’ll be well on your way to reducing stress and preventing burnout for yourself and your family while you enjoy some quality downtime.

We all suffer from a variety of different stressors in life throughout our day and at the end of a particularly stressful day (which for many of us is everyday), we need some simple and easy stress relief ideas.
In this article, we will discover some tips for reducing stress by using aromatherapy with the essential oil Basil for stress relief.
Tips for Reducing Stress – Aromatherapy with Basil Essential Oil for Stress Relief
The calming nature of basil is one of the biggest reasons why it is used in aromatherapy.
The Holistic Aromatherapy way of using this essential oil for stress relief is via a combination of the scent of the basil and the absorption of the oil into the skin by a tissue massage. This is a great way to relieve stress and muscle tension from the body.
The Aesthetic Aromatherapy way of using Basil is by putting it in a burner, diffuser, or in the bath.
How Does Aromatherapy With Basil Essential Oil Relieve Stress?
Both Holistic and Aesthetic Aromatherapy with the essential oil Basil are great ways to help relieve stress.
The reason why is because when you inhale air that is infused with Basil, it goes to the roof of our nose where olfactory receptors transport the information to the limbic system. Our emotions are processed in the limbic system and the scent of Basil is especially useful when treating stress because it stimulates the release of certain chemicals in the brain that can help people relax.
Of course, when it comes to reducing stress for both the long and short term you are going to want to utilize a variety of different strategies besides Aromatherapy.
