Living With Balance
If you feel that life’s hectic pace leaves parts of your life lacking and that you’d like the merry-go-round called life to stop and let you off, you are not alone!!
Help is at hand and there are ways to tip the balance back in your favour.
There’s nothing new about the idea of work/life balance, although, for many of us, it can seem elusive as we try to keep everything together on the treadmill of life. The question to ponder, though, is “What do you do when you can’t keep up and the quality of your life suffers?”
Firstly, it’s important not to compare your life with others but to get totally honest with yourself about what it is you want out of life. Self awareness is the key stone to achieving life balance and making choices based on what’s best for you.
To start getting your life back in balance, we suggest you make a comprehensive list of everything you do in your week. Include the time spent with family, friends and at work. Remember the time spent watching TV and surfing the net also. The next step is to reflect and decide what you need to be doing with your time in order to feel happy and fulfilled. A great way to do this is to go out in time and do the ‘Rocking Chair Test’. That is, when you are 95, sitting in your rocking chair, and looking back over your life, what will you be grateful for and what will you regret not having done?
There are not too many people, who, when on their death beds, regret not having worked harder or having spent more hours at the office!!
Having done that, decide how can you better spend your time, (the one thing we all have the same amount of in each day), what do you value and what decisions can you make based on this so that you can live the life of your dreams and be the best you can be?
Sometimes change can be frightening and it can seem easier to maintain the status quo. That’s why with a Coach you’ll never be alone. They can guide and steer you in the direction that you truly want whilst giving you support and keeping you accountable for ‘real’ change.
