I hope you are feeling into the change of season - here in the UK it is a gradual transition into autumn, and yet a distinct energy shift for me into a more reflective mood. This Coaching Companion is on the theme of balancing your time and energy, and it feels like a timely theme for me just now. It started out as a guide to achieving work/life balance. Something I have always found a challenge. I like to be busy, and most of the time that has meant busy at work, and then I run out of time and energy for me, and family and friends. I know that’s true for many of you as well. For a long time, my response was to try and create work / life balance, and there is a lot of stuff around claiming to help with that. Gradually though, I have come to realise that such balance is not actually possible – it is completely unachievable, and the quest for it has led to much anxiety and beating ourselves up – the last thing we need! The good news is that if we see our challenge as balancing, not balance, then we are on to something.
