Although it’s easy to divide our lives into discreet compartments, the reality is all of these areas are connected. We are integrated beings: what happens in one ‘area’ will affect, and in turn be affected, by other areas. Our habits, our experiences, our choices—all of these have a deeper and more profound impact than we may realize, because ultimately that shape who we are. And we take who we are with us into every ‘area’ of our lives.
