Balance 8 Primary Areas of Your Life

More BALANCE in your life
means more SATISFACTION
Here are 8 primary areas that require your attention

There is no particular order to these 8 areas of life. It is more important with each area that you earnestly identify your present status and then clearly consider your desired level. You will begin to have greater insight as to where more balance is needed. "Balance" here refers to your particular formula for life satisfaction, not that each area equals the other. Each of us experiences growth and change, and sometimes we get stuck. So, it is important to be flexible, to periodically reassess your current picture, and then adjust your actions to achieve your desired level of satisfaction.

As you honestly assess your situation, you will increasingly realize that each of the 8 areas are interconnected and impact one another to some degree. Only you can determine the level to which you want to move forward, your timeline, and the balance that works best for you. However, keep in mind that stepping outside your comfort zone and stretching yourself can help to create greater achievement and satisfaction.

What are your answers to these 8 primary areas of your life?
1. Family -- How are your relationships with family members? How can you improve and/or provide more support for those relationships?
2. Financial -- What is your present financial picture? How can you improve your money management? Do you have a plan for your financial future?
3. Personal Growth and/or Spirituality -- Do you advance your personal development on a regular basis? If you are so inclined, do you nurture your spiritual growth?
4. Physical Environments -- How do you feel about the comfort level of your home and work surroundings? How do you manage "clutter"? What improvements do you want to make?
5. Physical Health -- Do you address the critical areas, like eating habits, exercise, sleep, weight, and hygiene? When was your last physical exam? What improvements do you want to make?
6. Recreational and Creativity -- Do you take time for personal leisure? Do you relax and have fun? Do you have creative outlets in your life? How would you improve the quality of these areas?
7. Social and Relational -- Have you nurtured friendships that bring you enjoyment and support? Do you have a more personal intimate relationship? What improvements would you make?
8. Vocational -- How does your present vocation compare to your desired career? Are you advancing in your work environment? What changes would bring you more satisfaction professionally, personally, and financially?

You May Be A Procrastinator

PROCRASTINATION ...

Is it interfering with your life, work, or both?

If you answer YES to 2 or more of these questions, you may be a procrastinator:

Do you often put necessary work aside to do more enjoyable things?
Do you duck new experiences because change is difficult?
Do you frequently evade decisions?
Do you feel overwhelmed, not knowing where to begin?
Do you carefully map out projects but rarely see them through?
Do you feel ill when you're confronted with an undesirable task?
Do you fault others when things don't go as you planned?
Do you remain in a job when you're unhappy for fear of making a move?
Do you avoid confrontation at any cost?

While procrastination may seem like a simple behavior, it can be complex. It involves emotions, skills, attitudes, health, and factors that often operate below your radar.

Focus On What You Want -- Visualize

Develop the Art of Visualization

"The world is a looking glass. It gives back to every man

a true reflection of his own thoughts."

- Thackery, English novelist

Once you begin to practice the art of truly visualizing the successful attainment of your goals, you will begin to understand the positive impact of this process. Begin by giving free-rein to your imagination. As best you can, set aside your inhibitions as you infuse your creativity. In time, you will become skilled at visualizing the achievement of your desired outcome.

Each day and/or evening set aside dedicated time to picture, fantasize, and visualize your goals as if they had already been accomplished. This step is very important --- be consistent in this practice. Try to see things as you want them to be, instead of as they are. Close your eyes and project clear mental pictures. Visualize your appearance and actions just as they would be if your goals had already been attained.

For example, you may want to imagine yourself sitting in a theater; and while looking at the movie screen, see yourself successfully accomplishing your desires. Focus your attention on the details of your accomplished results. When you repeatedly form a clear picture of your future, you will soon find ways and means to bring it into reality.

At first, don't be concerned about how you are going to do it, just focus on what you want to do. Your inspiration for how you will achieve your goal and the self-motivation for forging ahead will surface naturally. Your vivid imagination will lead to desire, and that will lead to action and belief --- and ultimately creating circumstances and opportunities which you may seize to produce the results you want.
