Learning From Celebrities About Work-Life Balance


Trust - Balance - Passion: Three essentials to meaningful daily achievement and enjoyment. Do you feel as though you're rushing through life, too busy to really enjoy it? At the end of the day, do you feel you've achieved something worthwhile? If not, what can you do to build trust, balance and passion into your daily routine?

Delegate. Outsource. If you are trying to do it all yourself, STOP. At work, rely on your team or build a team you can rely on. At home, divide the workload fairly between all family members or consider hiring someone to help with regular or seasonal chores.

Be "in the moment" whether at work or with your family. Straddling the fence by never really leaving work shortchanges your family. If you have children at home, find activities that you can enjoy together as a family. Schedule date nights and special weekends with your significant other. Stay focused ... no checking email ... no answering business calls. Business can wait for a couple of hours while your family enjoys your top priority.

Add "me time" into your daily schedule. Guard that time and use it creatively. "Me time" is not the same as TV time. Read, write, draw, build, exercise - whatever you choose, allow it to lift you up and recharge your batteries.

Each day is a journey toward something. Begin today to create or find meaningful daily achievement and enjoyment in your work, with your family and friends, and in your personal goals.keep learning always
