Yes, being a full-time parent, taking care of your home and family, and running a business (most of the time a one man/woman show) is overwhelming. It may, in fact, be stressful or tiresome, and most definitely a lot of work, but we are built from affirmations and hard work. It is doable.

This is not an unfamiliar battle with entrepreneurs. It is actually quite common. Her are some tips to balancing your family life and building your legacy simultaneously.

Tips:

1. Remember to eat. Meal prepping at the beginning of the week goes a long way. Just grab it and go.

2. Meditate. Take time out of your day and find a quiet area and focus on your breathing. Clear your mind and focus solely on your breathing. Your mind may wander, but in time you will get better. Start with just doing it for 5 minutes and gradually increase your time day by day.

3. Have conversations with yourself. I know this sounds crazy but hear me out. Self talk is the best talk. Motivate yourself. Talk yourself into rising above weapons that are trying to form against you. Talk to yourself about your game plan of the day. Remind your self that you are in control and this work will not consume you.

When you get home, that is where peace and a clear mind sets in. The work will be waiting for you when you return in the morning....I promise.
