If you are like most people, you feel out of balance some of most of the time. And like most people, you are seeking a way to reduce stress, create joy, and have meaningful connection between the roles, relationships, and responsibilities in your life. Using mindful awareness, this reflective workbook introduces The Awareness Framework®, a tool to help you see your behavior and the impact it has on creating the type of work-life balance you desire.

Short and direct, this book teaches the skill of awareness and how it applies to values, communication, stress, time, and boundaries. If you are ready to create a balanced future that is different from your past, this book is for you. For a more immersive experience, use in conjunction with the online course.

As the founder of Simple Intentions, a conscious content company committed to human development in the workplace, author Jae Ellard has spent the last decade teaching awareness as skill using The Awareness Framework®, in more than 50 countries at multinational corporations such as Microsoft, Amazon, and Facebook. Stop & Think: Creating New Awareness is the first part in a four-part series designed to teach people the choices they have about work, life, and balance.
