Tip 4 to a More Joyful Life

It's nearly the end of another week and time, as usual seems to be racing! We live in a fast world and that's why tip number 4 is not an easy one to achieve - and that's Life Balance. Most of us are living at a frantic pace and spending our valuable time on "urgent" things rather than "important" things. To get balance in our lives we need to focus on what's important in our life, rather than what's urgent. We also need to plan! A great tip I have given numerous clients over the year is to plan their month/week/day "wearing all their different hats"! By this I mean - at the beginning of the month/weekday think about yourself as the "business person" and write what you need to achieve in your diary. Then, take your "business hat" off and put on your "home/family hat" - what do you want to do this week with family or at home? Then it's time to put on your "health hat". What exercises are you going to undertake to stay fit and healthy and full of energy? Hopefully by now you get where I'm coming from. It's important you think about the areas of your life that are important to you - personal development, fun, recreation, loving relationships, money, etc. etc. Most people only diarise business activities and then wonder why their life gets out of kilter. Try filling your life with things that are important to you this week and see how much more joyful your life becomes. Live each day as though it were your last - because one day it will be.
