4 Easy Steps for Achieving Balance
by Kristie Rimmele
As a work at home mom, it can be hard to strike a balance between
business and family life. Your children need you, but so do your
clients. Finding that perfect balance can help you reduce stress
and experience more harmony in your life. But exactly how do you
find that balance? Here’s 7 tips to help you achieve greater
balance.
- Dream of your perfectly balanced day. – Find a quiet
place and ask yourself, “If I could have the perfect day
– what would it look like?” Be very specific. What
do you see, smell, feel, experience? Write it down. Make a dream
map by cutting out pictures that remind you of your perfect day.
Having a clear vision of what you want is the first step to creating
a road map to get there.
- Make a list of things you would like less of and more of in
your life. Rate each of those likes on a scale of 1 –10
with 1 being things you like least and 10 being thing you want
most.
- Write down the top 3 things you want more of in your life.
Then write 1 idea of how you could get MORE of that in your
life.
- Then write down the top 3 things you want less of in your
life. Make a note of ways that you could have LESS of that in
your life.
- Create a daily and weekly to do lists. When you write items
on this list, be sure to ask yourself, “What 3 items, if
I did them would make the greatest impact with the least amount
of effort?” Then write down those things. Limit it to three
so your list is do-able. By prioritizing, you can do the things
that really matter most in your work and life.
- Review your daily top 3 priorities every morning. Consider
writing them on an index card and sticking it somewhere where
you’ll see it like on your computer.
Summary: You are in control of your life. With
every decision you make you shape your own reality. Balance is simply
a matter of knowing what you want and making good decisions. By
deciding what you want, making a plan, and actively going for it,
you can create the life of your dreams.
