Location:
Capital Counseling – The Behavioral Workshop

When life is busy, it’s easy to find yourself off balance, overwhelmed and not paying enough attention to important areas of your life. While you need to juggle many responsibilities if you’re going to get things done, taking this too far can lead to frustration, stress and unhappiness. By taking a long look at the possible imbalance in our lives, embracing a more realistic approach to our personal and professional roles, and then applying strategies for more balance, we can alleviate the stress and conflict among our many roles, interests and pursuits.
Participants will explore beliefs and perspectives of the meaning of a balance life, map a true picture of their current life and their ideal balanced life, and come out of the class with applicable, practical strategies to create greater balance in their lives
