For A Balanced Lifestyle

There is so much talk about goal setting, but what about “Lifestyle” setting? Most of us given a choice of money or happiness would choose happiness. Changing our daily routine, even if we are accomplished goal setters, can be challenging at any point in our lives. We all need and function better when we are relaxed and have a zest for life. Before we know it, we are setting goals for business, careers, money, new house, new car etc., and we have learned how to achieve these goals. But what about achieving true satisfaction of a Happy, Healthy Lifestyle for us?

By looking forward to the future (could be day, month, year or longer) with joy and anticipation, it actually fuels our body with energy. This same feeling comes with dreaming. It’s fun to dream and think of how much happiness it would bring us if our dreams were accomplished. So let’s bring these types of happy emotions to reality. The sense of empowerment when you take charge of a situation in your business life can also be attained when you take control of the Lifestyle you truly wish to live.

When you decide to take charge of the balance between your business life and your leisure life, the feeling of being in control gives you clarity and a sense of purpose. This balance is influencing your psychological, spiritual and physical health creating another form of longevity. Take more time for yourself; go for walk with your children or loved ones, sit by the water or on a bench in the park, lie on lounge chair or sofa and read a good book or just take some periodic quite time to reflect on the balance in your life. Tap into the energies of your dreams that give you pleasure.

When you choose to take charge of your course to a Happy, Healthy Lifestyle it is important to find the things meaningful that assure equal balance in your life. Take a week or month to write down on a piece of paper, divided in half with “Best” and “Worst” on the top and at the end of every day write under these headings the points that best describes the moments in your day. Notice recurring positive moments at the end of this exercise. It will be a treasure map to what you really like to do i.e. a new idea to create your ideal business or career, a more successful way to improve your finances, an emotionally easier way to achieve balance in your life etc.

This exercise of emotional inventory will show you were to direct your positive energy and eliminate the negative energy. You now can stop and relax with a focus you know that will lead you to a Happy, Healthy Well-Balanced Lifestyle!

What’s Holding Your 2009 Lifestyle Plan Back?

Loren Elio asked:


The Answer to the title is: “YOU!” The question is: “WHY!”

Now that I have your attention, let’s see how I can help you get back on track to a Happy, Healthy Well Balanced Lifestyle. You are going to need some inner tools i.e. – dreams, goals, desire, motivation and most importantly, Persistence.  Externally you need a pen and paper. If you don’t write your dreams or goals down, you have only a 3% chance of creating a lifestyle you deserve.

Dreams or Goals: pick 3 and be very specific when writing these down. Some of your goals may be a new car, house, career, business, relationship, vacation etc., so you would write down color, address, position, type of, how much money etc.

Attainable: set your goals high, but not so high that it will add too much stress to live the lifestyle you dream of.  Set your goal high enough that if you don’t achieve 100% that you will still be proud of how much you accomplished and your lifestyle has still improved. This way you will have the confidence to set another goal to achieve the remainder with desire and motivation.

Timeline:  every goal must have an amount of time set for completion.  Again, be realistic and set a time you know will allow you to accomplish your goal. If you do not achieve your goal in the time you allowed yourself, don’t get discouraged; reset the timeline for your goal to be accomplished. After accomplishing a few goals you will begin to understand the challenges you set to achieve the Well Balanced Lifestyle you desire.

Goal Timelines: make a 5-year plan.  What kind of a lifestyle do you want to be living at the end of 5 years i.e. where do you want to be living, what do you want to be driving, how much money do you want to be earning, what do you want your personal life to look like etc.  You can only get there by creating a shorter to long-range plan (take baby steps).

1)       Daily Plan – set 1 to 2 goals in a timeline you know you can accomplish that day. Accomplishing these goals will build confidence and motivation for the next day’s goals. If you don’t accomplish your goals for that day, don’t get discouraged; set them over to the next day.

2)       Weekly Plan – you should get a feel of how many goals you can set for the week to accomplish.  Again, don’t get discouraged if you have not accomplished all your goals (circumstances can change and alter your plans); transfer your leftover goals to the next week. Think about how much you have accomplished that week. Well done!

3)       Monthly Plan – you now should have a sense of what and how many goals you want to target for accomplishment by the end of the month. What part of your lifestyle do you want to have on track and a direction by months end?

4)       3 Month Plan – at this point you should have a good feeling of direction for goals that you need to accomplish for your Well Balanced Lifestyle. It is at this point I will suggest that not all of your goals have to be lofty ones. You should by now be experiencing a positive shift in your lifestyle plans. You are creating a positive, optimistic, motivated individual.

5)       6 Month Plan – by now you are experiencing the rewards goal setting brings and the start of your new lifestyle. You now have a rhythm of goal setting.  At the 6-month point begin to set 5 strong goals you want to achieve every month.

6)       1 Year Goal – access all your monthly goal journals and take stock of all your accomplishments to date. It must be amazing to look back from where you started with little direction of how to attain your your life’s dream. Again, any unaccomplished goals can be sent over to the new year knowing full well you will achieve these challenges also!

Does procrastination, or to put it bluntly; excuses and lack of motivation sound more familiar?
