How To Balance A Family, Your Business, And Your Stress
Delegate part of your responsibilities - when taking care of the family, get your spouse to help out. If your kids are older, get them to assist you. If you are at work, only take on what you can handle. Don’t try to do everything all at once. Learn to delegate and work with other people.
If you try to do everything, you will get stressed and anxious. A person can only do so much in a given day. Do not be a hero. Learn to manage your responsibilities. If you feel like you are doing too much, then take a break and evaluate your situation.

Managing your family and business does not have to very stressful. Learn to budget your time and manage your tasks. Eventually, you will be able to balance your business and family. If you still have trouble, then talk to a professional who can give you additional advice.
