Do you ever feel like you do it all... again and again... every day? Do you ever have me time? 

Research in Women and Leadership has shown a 42% decrease in work/life balance.  I like to call this the lack of pie.  That's right - pie - and make mine chocolate.  So what does this mean:

Every day you wake up with a whole pie... and during the day many take or we give slices away.  We can also grab a few slices as well, to help replenish what has been taken.  So tomorrow when you get up - take your "pie", split it in half with the mind set - work gets this half and home life gets the other half.  From there during the day - weigh out if you should give pie to others or grab a slice for your self. 

Examples of grabbing slices are; exercise, lunch with friends, laughing, singing, dancing, hugging your children or loved ones, a phone call to someone who is upbeat, ect.

Examples of pie being taken; stress, chatting with those who are negative, taking on too much work - beyond your scope, agreeing to be there for everyone, house cleaning, excessive eating (you have to burn those calories off) ect.

At the end of the day - how much pie do you have left? 

Hmmmm makes you hungry

Let me know what you think!
