Resolve for Life Balance, Less Burnout and Bring Wellness Home

Dec 18, 2006 Lori Henry

Make New Year's resolutions for better health by making an effort for life balance, less burnout and bringing wellness home.

Creating New Year’s resolutions for better health? Resolve to have a better life balance, less burnout and vow to bring wellness home.

Individuals with eating disorders are known to be perfectionists, high achievers and overly ambitious. When it comes to making New Year’s resolutions, these traits are always prominent.

Instead of setting out the goals during the holidays to take care of themselves better or be more committed to their recovery, they tend to use this time as an excuse to create a new agenda of a stricter diet, more excessive exercise, the use of laxatives or other diuretics, and an even stronger determination to lose weight.

Nora Isaac’s new book, "Women in Overdrive: Find Balance and Overcome Burnout at Any Age," will help those who live their lives as if their bodies will not breakdown. This dangerous lifestyle will take its toll at one point or another, as sustaining it is too cumbersome for both the body and mind.

Nora goes through steps you can take to have a better life balance, less burnout and bring wellness home. She takes readers through exercises that they can do, practical tips to incorporate into their daily lives and insight from other women in all different age ranges.

In a culture where the pressure to be thin, successful and perfect outweighs the importance of having a high quality of life, tips like these are valuable to those who can’t let go of striving to be someone they’re not.

The book can be purchased from AMAZON.
