YOUR 9-5 ISN’T A 9-5

Some food for thought on this Monday... Let’s not sugarcoat it...work is all-consuming for the majority of us. I can remember focusing more time and energy on my work than any other part of my life (before starting my business). I felt beyond invested. I also felt burned out and unsure of my place in the workforce. The truth is it’s rare to leave work at work when you’re done for the day. Thanks to the Digital Age, our 9-5 never really stops. So, I decided if I was going to spend a significant amount of my time, energy, focus, and on my work, it better be meaningful and fulfilling. Insert my company, Mindset Mamas. You can do the same...and it doesn’t have to mean starting a business. But, by all means, do something you actually CARE about for work. It’s SO worth it.

The balance should definitely be shifted towards 'life', rather than 'work'. An employer should understand this, but sadly many don't. Congratulations on finding something that's right for you!
