Your 5 Practical Steps Towards a Balanced Life

“I don't have any balance in my life; and I'm too busy to find it anyway.”

This is the number one complaint I hear from people who have concerns about their quality of life.

When considering such a vital question: what is a balanced life? – the first element to establish is your position in your life.

5 Simple Steps for Taking A Great Summer Vacation

Whether you're working the 9 to 5 grind or self-employed, you need to take time away from work--extended time, like a good 10 days or more at least once each year, more often if you can. That means taking the time to renew and restore your overall well-being.

This time is spent slowing down mentally and physically and doing things that make me happy and feel relaxed. Even though I am at home, I let my family and friends know up front that I will not be available during this time.

Work-Life Balance: It's All about Choices

Remember the news stories about people suing fast-food companies because they had made them fat? Or the friend who hasn't taken a vacation from work in years? Or how you keep saying, “I just don't get enough sleep”? Choices, my friend, it's all about choices.

Each day we make choices that influence our pace and quality of life, and many of these are unconscious. While it's a good thing we don't have to think about every little choice we make, when it comes to creating harmony between our work-related activities and the rest-of-our-life activities, it's a good idea to wake up and smell the proverbial coffee. Otherwise, we can find ourselves living with the effect of our choices, such as feeling overwhelmed, out of control, or unhealthy. These effects are all symptoms of our lives slowing down and eventually coming to a screeching halt. We can't live a life accelerated if we're too busy focusing on the effort of balancing it all.
