Achieving life balance in today's society is not a simple task! Family definition and life has changed dramatically in the last 40 years. Women have increased their commitment to the labour force and are working full-time, but are still doing most of the housework and childcare. More than ever Canadian women are playing different roles in their lives; not to mention, they have to take care of their own physical and mental health. As a result, women are continually challenged and struggle with the demands of work responsibilities and life commitments.

It is important to know that achieving life balance does not mean to spend an equal number of hours in each of your various roles, it means having a balance of priorities in your life. It also means maintaining a consistent healthy life style on a daily basis where your mind and body work together regardless of your circumstances or situations.
