What do you do to ensure a healthy work/life balance?

I exercise in a variety of ways (run, bike, walk, free weights), even on lunch break! I also have a pretty clear distinction between work and life. But if needed, I am there. It's how I raise my children too. I provide space, room for independence and growth, but I'm always right there if needed.
