It looks like Campbell’s ‘follow your bliss’ statement applies to you, Nathalie. Perhaps someday you will teach others how to achieve their ideal work life balance? And a big thank you for liking my blog posts back at The Women of Facebook Group. It warms my heart to know I’m of service.

OMG, Nathalie! What’s that 1 thing you need to change? Congratulations!

I’m glad you liked the suggestions on the slider, Summer. Getting a 6 isn’t that bad. With a few tweaks to your activities and habits, the score will fall.

It looks like you’ve been proactive in managing your work life balance in the last 2 years, Susan. You’re on the right track – keep moving forward in positive motion!

Accomplishing a 0-3 category score depends heavily on intention and taking action, Marquita. We often need the Wake Up call before we realize it’s time to take back control. When I had my first wake up call, I had also learned about the death of a childhood friend who had ignored stomachaches because he was heavily into his advertising career. By the time he went to the doctor, he was diagnosed with Stage IV stomach cancer and died a painful death. It shook me enough to take a decision to quite my job and take a sabbatical to regain my health. Pity it would take another wake up call a decade later for me to finally do what I needed to and follow my passion.

You are most welcome, Sue! It seems to be a score based on your present circumstances and the need to exert yourself. I’m sure if you tried the quiz in a few months time the score will have fewer Yeses or maybe even none.

We’re often doing better than we think we are when it comes to maintaining work life balance, Suzie. The important thing is to let go of habits and activities that pull us down and replace them with those that energize and empower us. Looks like you’ve aced it!
