Unwinding
Work-life balance is one of the most difficult challenges professionals face. Time management is essential to being able to effectively complete tasks, make it to appointments, get the kids to and from practice, fix (or buy) dinner, pay all the bills, keep your kitchen stocked and home clean and, if you're lucky - find time to relax. Investing time in yourself is essential for your mental wellbeing and ultimately to your success.
For me, relaxing often means unwinding - figuratively and literally. I enjoy crocheting and knitting and I find that as the skein of yarn unwinds into a beautiful creation, my mind and soul unwind, as well.
How do you unwind?
It's the same for me: needlework helps me relax and concentrate at the same time. If it's something simple I crochet my thoughts get the time to work out what things are occupying my brain. And if I knit a difficult lace pattern I need to concentrate on, I'm only dealing with that, everything else is calmed, the thoughts we so often have running around our brains endlessly, they vanish.
