I bet if I were to ask you if you want to "have it all" your likely response would be a resounding 'yes'.

But how is that possible in these challenging economic times? Especially when more hours are spent at work and there is less time for family, hobbies and leisure.

ONE strategy to restore balance in your life is to "Underbook" your day. Instead of cramming appointments into every last minute, leave time on either side of those commitments. That leaves time to deal with the unexpected, time to declare yourself satisfied, time to recharge and refocus before the next project or to simply enjoy the occasional free time that shows up.

REMINDER: BE sure to carve 5-10mis out of your day JUST FOR YOU!

Ultimately it is the balance between how much time you spend on 'work' and 'life' that feels ideal for you.

And that ideal balance means different things to different people, and it changes during different phases of our lives:
  • During our young adult years, we may be more focused on our career, knowing that the work we do is preparing us for a more leisurely future and the opportunity to pursue more fulfilling activities.
  • When we have children, and have a job, there may be less time for personal growth.
  • When we retire, we are able do more volunteer work and devote ourselves more to our personal interests.
We can be balanced during all these phases, yet "what" we are focused on differs in each phase. 

What areas would you like to choose to focus on to create more balance and fulfillment in your life?

Life balance is something that we all aspire to. And every year we resolve that this is going to be the year where we gain control of our life instead of it having control of us.

As of January 10th 75% of the people who created New Years Resolutions have already fallen off the wagon! And those people made the SAME resolution 4 years ago!

Consistently living life out of balance - at a frantic pace -- comes with a price. Not only for the people who are experiencing the imbalance, but also for the people they care about, and the organizations they serve.

Did you know that companies lose between $200 - $300 per person annually due to work place stress? Did you know that 80% of people feel stress on the job and that stress is the number 1 health problem? And global studies indicate that 70% of workers do not feel they have good work-life balance.

Frantic, chaotic, hectic lifestyles cost us not only the joy we find in life, but create a feeling of loss of control, while negatively impacting everyone and everything around us.

Increase your ROI by investing in yourself. Make this year different than the last and choose to move toward balance, so instead of paying the 'price', you can reap the 'reward'.

How to Reclaim More Time for Yourself]]>Fri, 23 Sep 2011 18:36:05 -0800http://massage4health.weebly.com/1/post/2011/09/overloaded-how-to-reclaim-more-time-for-yourself.htmlLife balance is something that we all aspire to. While it may seem like a goal, you will never achieve, there are some simple steps you can take to gain control of your life instead of it having control of you.
Of course it's challenging to find time for you with work, family and other obligations all competing for your attention. However imagine living a life in which your time is your own and where your opportunities for fun and enjoyment are equally balanced with opportunities for work.

Try making these simple changes to reclaim your time and achieve more balance: 

Decide that when you do something with friends or family that you will be fully engaged in the process. Do not allow yourself to have a negative attitude or be distracted by other things. You will find yourself enjoying the time and activities much more.
Re-evaluate your traditions - If the old ones are causing you too much stress, too much money, and too much energy, choose some new ones.    

Choose to be "out of pocket." We need to choose to be out of pocket more often. No cell phones, no email, no texting, and no appointments. The world will survive with out you during your down time. 

Take a conscious pause between one task and the next. Quite often you slide into the next task while still thinkng of the one you just finished. Take a moment to feel and acknowlege the accomplishment you just made - "declalre yourself satisfied". Then take this step further by clearing all the mental chatter from that task as you create a space of peace and silence; even if it's just taking 30 seconds to do this. When ready move on to the next task fully focused.

Finding yourself on the couch with remote in hand during your free time? Using the time to engage in creative or athletic pursuits that help you grow as a person gives you a lasting sense of joy and fulfillment, which will further inspire you to clear room in your life for growth and self-discovery. How you use the time you do get has a big bearing on whether you will actively seek to create that time in future.

How nice would it be to have more of your time be your own. Give these samples a try. ]]><![CDATA[Need A Cure for the Dreaded 'Idea-itis'?]]>Wed, 03 Aug 2011 13:29:23 -0800http://massage4health.weebly.com/1/post/2011/08/need-a-cure-for-the-dreaded-idea-itis.htmlBegin the Cure by Harnessing the Momentum Around that Fabulous Idea of Yours

What do I mean by this?  Throughout your day you can get many ideas and visions for your business or work life. These ideas inspire you to do something differently or more efficiently; increases your revenue or to create something new altogether. But how many of those 'great' ideas have you actually acted upon and just stay on your to-do-list; where they  slip away like a faded dream? ...or perhaps it gets filed under 'T'.

Don't worry you are not alone, idea-itis runs ramped among the business world, here's a quick tip on what to do about it:

What NOT to do:

If you wait on that killer idea too long it only begins to look like more work, you get overwhelmed and the less likely you will follow through on it.


Instead, bring your ideas into the physical with these simple steps!
  • Take all of those ideas rolling around upstairs and get them on paper - purge! But realize you can't do them ALL
  •  Look over your list of ideas and circle or highlight the ones that are going to make the biggest difference for you, with your clients or in your business.
  • Cut your idea list down further to 2, 3 or 4 really good ones
  • Take each idea and decide what are the first couple of steps you can realistically take to get this idea moving
When you get an idea, and you feel it deep down that its a good one, take action on it immediately! Plain and simple.

Sure there are plenty of excuses and fears that will come up (not now, no money, too much to do, I'll look stupid, no time, e.t.c). However, why not ride the surge of new energy and the wave of excitement that comes with your idea and get it to manifest quickly and easily. You'll discover you are more likely to succeed with a lot less struggle and effort and with more fun as you bring it to life! 

For you next  great idea,follow the steps above and try and implement one thing each day for the next 21 days that will bring you closer to manifesting your idea ...and you'll see just how powerful and in control you truly are! ]]>
