We’re all wired like a windup toy and released into the world out there, to hopefully make a productive living the best way we can. We get scattered as we’re pulled into various directions while attempting to find ourselves, to decide what to do in life.
We either choose to become independent professionals, members of the workforce, or artists barely scraping by to make a living.
What we do is stumble then we fall, but keep on getting up, and move on with our life.
This constant work life balance however, ultimately reveals itself in our lives for us to solve.
What all this life, work, and business does is acts as a nexus from where it’s not easily extractable to our way of relating, loving, or meaning.
The challenges we face at work interrupts our personal lives, while our personal challenges affect our work.
To Create A Balance
The narrow relationship between our personal and professional life, can at times be rocky and vulnerable, as maintaining it can be a tricky issue.
We get first hand experience once we attempt, declare, to make certain audacious goals in our life.
But things never go as planned, as the abnormalities can often interfere and counteract with our leisure plans.
This is a silent agenda by the soul that’s attempting to balance itself, sending us a message our life is out of sync.
Certain signs could be unexpected health issues suddenly popping up and creating a disturbance, as the life/work equilibrium teeters off balance.
These are warning signals you need to readjust your life, for health rather than wealth purposes.
To Reclaim Your Senses
So don’t get caught in this windstorm, take inventory of your life at all times, before the scales begin to tip too far to the left or right.
Know the promptings of your spirit and know how your work takes a toll on your life, and then regulate the proper formula.
Practice the strategies laid out, as once combined together, doing so can help alter the course.
It can also be done without needing to abandon the destination, to help you in restoring your balance.
Never Panic
Once you begin to feel you’re in a stricken state of anxiety, is when you can choose to remain mindful, modest, and calm.
You can do so by taking recoverable steps by addressing the situation at hand.
Realize it’s not the right time to quit your job, get separated, purchase that new car to recapture your youth.
When something is absolutely necessary, is when you’ll know it’s time. If you’re uncertain, then the time isn’t now.
Return To Your Core Source
Whenever you experience turmoil, whatever your spiritual orientation may be, connect with with this source and spirit as we all have one, regardless of who you are.
Realize there’s something bigger than you in this universe, which wholly encompasses your life.
Spend at least 15 minutes in the morning every day, to connect with this source.
Take Inventory Of Your Body
How well are you sleeping lately, how well are you eating. Are you sticking with your diet. What’s your energy level like recently, steady or low.
Always be mindful of your mind and body, and how regulated and grounded you are. Do so by simply asking yourself how you’re feeling today.
If something isn’t up to par, then perform an evaluation or take the necessary steps that will restore your well being.
Always Be Honest With Yourself
Your energy level and morale takes a dip, every time you don’t tell the truth, as it takes a toll on your subconscious, as the “red flags” go up.
This is also true if you’re constantly attempting to please others first, before your own priorities.
Track every time you begin to tip off balance, even slightly, as it’s your life, your maintenance.
Know when you’re being less than forthright about yourself and others. Get concise about your motives, and keep them clear.
Thinking On The Edge
There’s substantial evidence, once we begin to mindfully manage the way we think, doing so can have a profound effect on our mood and motivation.
Establish ways on making sure you’re constantly finding ways to fine tune your cognitive skills, and then apply them,
Do so by asking yourself as mindfully as possible, what you’re doing, thinking, feeling, at this moment, at all times.
Set Healthy Flexible Boundaries
Your work, business, and life are intimately connected as they feed off one other, but that doesn’t mean you need to give up your privacy or priorities.
To establish your own personal equilibrium, begin by setting boundaries so you’ll feel generous without feeling depleted.
Remain available without feeling invaded. Always be flexible as things never remain the same.
Create And Refine Systems
You can’t possibly expect to manage your life and work efficiently and on balance, without a good system to follow. Then actually follow through on them.
Constantly be aware and on the lookout when things begin to go off the beam, and set up an alert.
Fix the issue by creating or improving a systematic way of resolving things, to get things back on track.
Alter The Plan Keep The Goal
At times, the best way to reach a goal, is by adhering to your previous plans.
Always be revising and tweaking your commitments and offers, to bring your current activities and resources up to date.
Begin by restoring your harmony, which will make you feel more engaged rather than ragged, while doing the things you want to do.
Then all of your audacious goals will suddenly become shining possibilities, instead of becoming looming obligations.
If it happens to take a little longer to reach them, then achieving and arriving will be that much sweeter.
