Work Life Balance Tips
Visualize your ideal life - dare to dream and write down the top ten things you want to accomplish on your "life list."
Write down your personal vision statement and mission statement - it will help you see where you are going in life.
Turn off the television - studies show that it creates depression. It is a passive activity that won't give you energy.
Limit Internet and email time - set better boundaries so that technology does not rule your life.
Pursue your passion persistently - own it and be disciplined in achieving what you truly desire out of life.
Keep a journal - it will help you on a regular basis to stay focused on what is important to you.
Every weekend set a goal of doing one fun activity.
Define your daily exercise time - what works best for you, 30 minutes in the morning, afternoon or evening?
Go to bed a half hour early and get up a half hour early - this allows you to carve out additional personal time.
When confronted with a choice, ask yourself: What's the cost? Will this add to my life or create more stress?
Let go of people and things that are holding you back (ie. clutter, negativity, clothing, luxury items, toys, etc.)
Prune any activities that are not productive or non-priorities.
Say three gratitudes each night - when you do this you will realize that you are too blessed to stress.
Reprioritize: What are your top 10 priorities for this year? Rank them in terms of highest, high and low.
Every weekend make it a goal to call two friends or distant family members - you won't have any regrets about building up these relationships.
Turn every occasion in your life into a positive - even negative experiences are seen as "What can I learn from this?"
Live simply, expect less and give more.
