| | From Denise Maher, your About Women's Health Editor Raise your hand if you've figured out how to achieve life balance. Do you feel good about the amount of time and energy you put into your relationships, lifestyle (fitness, diet, mental, spiritual) and hobbies compared to your investments in work, financial and caregiving responsibilities? Do you feel good about what you get out of those efforts? Anyone? Anyone? It's tricky. Finding balance is a tough goal. Whether you are trying to improve your cholesterol, build your core muscles to help prevent injuries or enhance a yoga practice, achieve family/work balance, reduce stress, or just carve out more time for yourself, success is slippery and elusive for many women. Balance is a long-term goal, more idea than reality.
