There are TWO great ways to CURE your problems…
They are having a balanced life, and having fresh standards.
If you are sick, tired, or unhappy, try to slice areas of your life into sections:
- Work
- Home life
- Education (it should never cease)
- Physical activity
- Social activity, etc.
Do you have good standards and goals for each area? Are you putting too much attention on one and ignoring others? Do you have one of these areas ABSENT in your day?
I say DON’T ignore your feelings! Don’t worry about the past or the future. Sure you can reflect and learn from it, but
the only way we can heal what’s hurting us is to balance our life, or raise old standards. Keep life fresh!
A balanced life is the answer to a lot of hidden issue we give ourselves.

It depends on your definition of balanced…
For some, balanced = boredom, or snail paced progress in all areas at the expense of turbo charged progress in one area.
It can also depend on your spouse’s definition of balanced, and the extent of the overlaps.
That said, it’s 1am, so maybe I need some more balance…!

Balance is good, but it requires massive focus on each area of life when you are in that segment. You can afford to be balanced when you are productive, it is only when you are unfocused that you need to spend so much time in one area.

Well said. Finding that balance makes for a peaceful inside and out.

I’m a bit of a perfectionist so I try and do the opposite and just chill.

Hi Greg,
I agree absolutely about do not ignore your feelings. they will come back to bite us one way or another with stress, snapping at others behavior, or poor eating habits.

Balancing family, work, beliefs, friends…
It can almost feel overwhelming, until you break them out from each other.
Thanks

Great post!
With project management duties, I find myself often trying to decide how I am going to balance out the work load.

I just channeled the mother/daughter conversation from the 80s about freshness . . . indeed, keep life fresh.:)

Balance means stasis- from what I can tell, you prefer dynamic unbalance. To move you must unbalance. The things you love may balance in the long term, but in the short term, you may have to be very unbalanced.

I agree with you Greg. Nothing better than balance in all areas of ones life. Life is short as it is – no use spending it all in one place.

Balance is key to leading an effective, joy-filled life.
Also, on a different but related note, balance is key in maintaining a fit, healthy body.

I really like this post! I feel like these are thoughts I’ve tinkered around with in my head, it’s not to have someone else say it plain and clear.
What a great presentation.
