Blended life!!!!!!!!

I have heard people refer to this as a balanced life, but I have become more and more convinced that when working with young people the idea of balanced life does not necessarily happen. the idea of a balanced life does, and this also helps with something we have been looking at recently, and htat is stress. If our life is more blended, IE, we have a variety of things going on in our life, and we are not constantly thinking about work, and we also have a heatlthy view of ourselves, then we are less likely to become stressed in our work. The challenge is for us as youth wrokers to find that blend, all those different things in our lives, those things that excite us and enthuse us, that when we come to work with young people, then we are excited enthusiastic people, and ot stressed and complaining people.
