It’s a puzzle. And if we don’t have it, we feel miserable and believe that we are missing out on the sole opportunity to improve our lot in life. More tranquil more beautiful Because “everyone else has it,” in the end. But we don’t, and we are aware of it. So here are 3 life balance myths.
Yet, we DESIRE it.
Our lifestyles must function properly, look good, and feel great. We require that our lives feel like a lazy afternoon on a beautiful summer day. It must be stress-free, free-flowing, and odor-free. Huh?

3 Life Balance Myths
Before I could “locate stability,” I needed to define what a balanced life looked like in my opinion. But that is no longer the focus of this newsletter.
