As a facilitator
and coach I
get to ask a few questions,
do a lot of listening and hopefully help
people get what
they want. While this may sound hard to
some, I think
my job is easy because I truly believe that
each one of
us has the ability to do anything that we
choose. I'm
not saying that the journey is always easy or
that we
all travel a path that greets us with the
same degree of
difficulty. Still, the truth is that you have
the ability within
you to get what you want - period.
The hard part is that word "choose". Some
synonyms
for the word choose are decide, want, desire,
wish,
and pick. More simply put, you must pick what
you
want in your life and have enough desire to
decide
what it will take to make this wish come
true. Then
choose to do it!
The problem lies in the "what it will take".
How many of
you intuitively know what it will take to
achieve a certain
goal but consciously or subconsciously fail
to perform
those actions? Let's make it more personal
and add
some responsibility by saying you choose not to
perform the activities. You choose not to
exercise. You
choose not to volunteer. You choose to eat
unhealthy
foods. You choose. You choose. You choose. Each
day we all choose to do or not to do things
that would
make us better and more successful. So what
are you
choosing to do instead? It's like choosing to
make a
left when your directions tell you to make a
right.
That's not the way to your destination. Some
don't
have a mapped out destination. Some just
know it's
somewhere over there. The secret to the Power
of 168
is...

| A Customized Work Life Balance Workshop for Your Team |

Balancing It All!
A Structured Approach to Creating Work Life
Balance
In a perfect world the boundaries would be
drawn between home and work. That perfect
line that separates it all. In reality our
line is similar to one drawn in the sand. We
draw it, and redraw it time and again until
the line is permanently blurred.
Achieving the proper balance is possible when
we realize that it's all connected and that
the boundaries don't exist. We can thrive if
we work with the connections rather than
against them.

T-i-m-e is on my side ... |
|
|
|
... yes it is. Well maybe.
You may
recognize this lyric
from the 1964 Rolling Stones hit of the same
name. The song is basically about waiting for
something to happen. Well don't wait too
long. If waiting for something to happen is
your plan, then you need a strong 'plan B"!
Time is
on the side of those who act.
Step One: Identify Your Goals and
Priorities: Stop and get control of your
life. Clear out
the clutter and write down what's important
to you.
Step Two: What are you doing with
your time? Identify how you are currently
spending your time. What's adding value add
what is not?
Step Three: Make room for the
important things. Think about the
things that you should
be doing but are not. Things like more
education, and more time with family, more
recovery time are generally top on the
list. You can do this by weeding out your
non-value add activities.This will give you
room for the "I shoulds".
Step Four: Do it. Follow this
new schedule for three weeks!
