Balancing Commitment

In our society, many mental health problems for both children and adults result from the stress of trying to do too much and be too many things for too many people. We overcommit our time. This can wreak havoc on any family. I will teach you how to better manage your time and to successfully balance your work and family life. Over commitment can wreak havoc on any family. Many people find it difficult to say no when asked to do something.

Family members can easily fall in to the trap of taking on too much and are thereby pulled in multiple directions. The more children there are the more activities there are and the more refined the balancing act must become. Unfortunately the results are almost always; tension, stress, a myriad of physical complaints, feelings of resentment and anger, and ultimately depression or burnout.

To truly simplify and regain control of your life, a realistic time-management plan, that is free from over commitment, is necessary. Mental health experts call this setting boundaries. One of the most effective ways to learn about boundaries is in counseling. Counseling can help you:

• Identify barriers
• Work through trying challenges
• Find solutions
• Restore balance to your life

If you are having trouble setting or enforcing boundaries you could benefit from a professional, experienced therapist who is objective and practices non- judgmental therapy.
