Balancing Life with EAP

When we are feeling on overload, it could be a sign that we are out of balance. Our minds are racing with thoughts of what we should be doing and not focusing on the tasks at hand. We find ourselves becoming irritated at those around us and more stressed at the long list of things we need to complete for work and home. Yet we won’t stop for a moment to take care of ourselves! We feel by taking the time to do something we enjoy, it is time wasted that we could use to check another thing off our list.

Take that first step to take care of yourself by contacting Wholeness Healing to set up an appointment with one of our therapists. If your company has Wholeness Healing EAP, it is completely confidential and free. As you read through the following quotes from, “65 Balance Quotes about Life For More Peace of Mind”, by Dr. Nikki Martinez, it can help shed light on why to use Wholeness Healing’s Employee Assistance Program to bring balance back into your life.
