Looking for Stress Relief & a Way to Find Balance in Your Life? Take a Cue from Your Checkbook! Here's Why! Mindfulness

I have always felt slightly irritated when reading articles telling me that I should find balance in my life. For me it conjures up visions of yoga on the beach, meditating twice a day and long walks through the countryside. When I am I supposed to get around to that on a daily basis? I'll add it to the list:

• Work all day.

• Make dinner.

• Drop kids off at practice.

• Take cat to the vet.

• Find balance.
