This is such a great topic as it can affect our health in many ways when we don’t feel we have balance in our lives.
Perhaps you are working too many hours, not taking proper breaks, going to bed late, spending limited time with family and friends, are you often worn out and find it hard to relax or de-stress?
If you have read this far, I am guessing you would like to know some solutions?
As usual none of my suggestions are rocket science but as the sayings go, ‘people often know what to do but don’t DO what they know’.
You will be delighted to find out that you really can bring more balance in your life but you have to really make it a priority.
The order needs to be….
Self-care first
Family
Work
This is usually not the way round people have the order of priority, if you really want more balance, less stress, less anxiety, and feel happier and healthier you must put this in place.
What people generally do is work harder, longer hours and put themselves last usually saying, when things get calmer, less busy, more organised THEN I will put myself first.
So what happens? well the calmness, less busy, more organised never seems to come!
The problem is when the priority is in the wrong order it creates a dis-ease that only gets worse.
One of the most common areas I coach people in is getting a more balanced life.
This is easier than you might think, first look at the diary and put a few self-care things in BEFORE you schedule in meetings and work stuff.
Just one thing to start with and build up, when you notice the benefits you will feel you can add something else in.
Eventually you will start to really notice you are feeling more content and less stressed.
Start with something simple, maybe a walk-in nature, a hot bath, finishing on time and reading a book, or doing something nice for yourself.
I guarantee you the health benefits are so amazing you will never allow yourself to go back to that way of life.
And finally if you really don’t know where to start I am here ready waiting to help you.
