Keeping life in balance

This year my New Year’s resolutions have been easy to articulate.  For me, it’s all about focussing on cultivating a good and balanced life.  To not let any of the bits get out of balance, and to keep reminding myself that this balance is important and I need to strive to maintain it.  The “bits” include:
Work
-       Family
-       Friends
-       Spirituality
-       Learning and training
-       Fitness and health
-       Personal space and stillness


I’ve found an excellent website at www.everydaysuccess.com , which says that finding balance is about setting priorities for all the different aspects of your life and then being clear about how you will set boundaries for what you expect of yourself for each priority.  When you know what actions will fulfill your priorities to your satisfaction, that’s when you’ll begin to feel balance.  Until you are clear about your priorities and how you want to fulfil those priorities, you’ll always feel on edge and out of balance.
Then, the glue that brings balance to your life is planning.  Plan your life daily.   Plan your life weekly.  Plant your life monthly and even annually.  You’ll enjoy your life more when your balls are balanced and your ducks are in a row.
How do you achieve balance in your life?  I’d love to hear your life experiences and ideas.  Drop me a post or send me an email at livewelllivesmart@gmail.com
