subject: Envision Balance In Life To Create The Life You Desire [print this page] Is balancing work and family life a challenge for you? We are a country on the go from early morning to late at night. Commute time to work, kid's
activities, volunteering, aging parents, entertaining, workout time, and college courses to stay current or to define a new career path take up our time. Phew! That tired me out just reading the list.
The first step to achieving work life balance in your life is to make quiet time each morning in your already hectic schedule. Am I crazy asking you to find more time in an already busy schedule? It might feel like it, but what quiet time does is ground you, center you, and help you focus on what is really important. It also opens you up to new perspectives on how to approach challenges and to flow with life. Find a quiet spot in your home where you can sit for 15 minutes to meditate. Relax your body, close your eyes, and focus on your breathing. Thoughts of your day and what you need to do will come up. Let them come up and let go of them allowing them to flow right out of your mind. Keep focusing on relaxing and on your breathing. See your life in balance. Feel your life in balance. Repeat "I am living my life in balance".
See how much easier your day flows when you take the time each morning to be still and focus on balance in your life. Do not be surprised if creative new ideas show up to make your life easier and more fun. Do not beat yourself up if you miss a few days. Get back into the habit as soon as you realize you have missed several days. Notice how creating the extra time to meditate in the morning in an already hectic schedule actually slows your life down, adds
more quality time to your day, and puts some balance in your life.
