For most
people, juggling the demands of career and personal
life is an ongoing challenge. With
so many demands on your time - from overtime to
family obligations - it can feel difficult to strike
this balance. The goal is to make time for the
activities that are the most important to you.
Here are some tips to help you find the balance
that's best for you:
- Keep
a log. Track everything you do for one week.
Decide what is necessary and what satisfies you
the most. Delegate activities you don't enjoy and
dont' have time for. Prioritize what matters to
you.
- Find
out what you can do without. Go
through your day, your
relationships, your work and your
life. What is draining your
energy? What are you doing that does not need
to be done?
- Eliminate
what you are tolerating in your life. Tolerations
are those things
that we put up with, that we accept and take
on, and that drag us down. This includes other
people's behavior,
difficult
situations, unmet needs, crossed boundaries,
unresolved issues and frustration.
- Learn
to say no. When you quit doing the things
you only do out of obligation or guilt, you
will make more room in your.life
for the activities that are meaningful to you
and bring you.joy.
- Ask
for what you want. You need to be
very clear about what you want. You need
to know it, live
it, breathe it, expect.it
and ask for it.
- Seek
professional help. If your life feels
too chaotic to manage and you are spinning
your wheels
worrying about it, talk with a professional.
