The other day I was introducing myself to a group of busy professionals. I told them I especially loved to work with women who feel they are overworked and have no life; and lack equilibrium in the middle of their work life and their personal life.
As I was heading out the door to my next appointment a woman from the group stopped me and said she genuinely wanted to work with me, and she could totally impart to being one of those out of equilibrium women.
Calendar
Neither of us had our calendars so she took my company card and promised to be in touch to set up an appointment. She seemed inspired about finding equilibrium in her life and I was excited at the expectation of a new client.
Days later when I hadn't heard from this woman I began to wonder why she didn't call. She seemed so ready and enthusiastic. I casually mentioned it to a friend who reminded me that she was probably too busy and overwhelmed to even follow straight through with scheduling an appointment. It was clear evidence of how much she genuinely needed some support. "Duh", I conception to myself.
Most of us are in the same boat, we all live in the same demanding culture...some of us work, some of us raise families; some of us do both. We juggle a million details, we carry on the best we can and still barely have time to breathe. We often have to beg, borrow and steal for personal time. Can you impart to this?
Here's my bottom line. You have a choice about how you want to live your life. Either you work for a large company, own your own company or are a stay at home parent how you live your life is up to you. This might sound like a no brainer. You know you have choice, but do you genuinely feel like you have one?
First, identify the obstacles or excuses that keep you from changing anything. The most base excuse I hear is, "I'm Too busy". Are you willing to break the "I'm too busy" excuse in order to have more equilibrium in your life?
Second, set up some very simple structures in your life that will begin to make the difference.
Here are my 5 strategies to bring equilibrium into your life. I'd request you to play with them, possibly take them on as homework and see if they bring you results.
1. You are estimate one. Contrary to what you're taught you have to take care of yourself first. You know when you are on a plane and the flight attendant gives you the briefing about what to do if oxygen is needed? You must put the mask on Yourself first before assisting others. What good can you be to anyone if you are in terrible shape yourself? So, the first order of company in creating equilibrium is Self Care. Do you eat well, do you rehearsal regularly, and do you take vacations?
2. Get to know yourself. Respond the questions: Who am I? And what are my values and priorities? A good way to engage with these questions is straight through journaling. Get a special journal and begin a relationship with yourself. Light a candle; spend 5 minutes a day writing for you.
3. What are you currently tolerating? What sucks your power and drains you? What are the annoying things that if you eliminated them would free up more time? It can be anyone from a squeaky door that bothers you to not having office tool working well to relationships that are draining or toxic. Make a list of these things and begin to cope them. Get them off your plate.
4. Institute a genuinely good keep system. Let's face it we all need keep and sometimes it's hard to ask for help. Often times the divergence in the middle of getting prosperous results or not depends on how well supported you are.
5. nurture your spirit and your dreams. What lights you up? Is it nature, culture, great conversations with friends, your relationship to a higher power? reconsider spending quarterly time every week with these things. This is the time that refills the well, so to speak. By paying attention to what inspires you, you begin to build a keep of power to draw from when you are stressed.
Play with these 5 strategies (even if you only can carry on one or two, you will receive benefit) and see what starts to happen...
Creating work/life equilibrium takes courage, commitment, willingness and support. When you combine these structures and strategies into your life you will get results.
Aren't You worth it?
It's Your life...imagine the possibilities!
