Set Your Course for a Happy Lifestyle
Loren Elio asked:
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?
August 4, 2009 by admin
Filed under Goal Setting
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?

Getting to Grips with a Healthy Lifestyle
Trish Powell asked:
In a perfect world we would all be eating the right food, exercising, sleeping well and just generally enjoying life.
In the real world most of us manage a percentage of the healthy lifestyle and muddle through as best we can with the rest of it. Part of the problem is we are encouraged to think, mostly by the media, that we should be doing everything possible towards a healthy lifestyle, all of the time. For most of us this is just not possible.
Constant concern about what we should or shouldn’t be doing causes our stress levels to go up and that negates any good work that we’ve done. Yes, we should certainly try for a healthy lifestyle, but the two key words are “moderation” and “balance” By applying these criteria to achieving a healthy lifestyle we won’t be beating ourselves up for failing another diet or dropping out of the latest exercise regime.
A common mistake that many people make when they decide to adopt a healthy lifestyle is to try to do too much too soon. They then give themselves a guilt complex when it all falls apart. It is also easy to be influenced by others, when we should only be adopting a healthy lifestyle plan to suit ourselves.
Ah! Did I say lifestyle plan? Do you have one, or do you just try the next thing that is in your magazine or Sunday supplement? By all means read these articles and take them into account as you plan how you want your healthy lifestyle to take shape.
Leading a healthy lifestyle doesn’t mean you have got to run a mile before breakfast, eat seeds and think pure thoughts. Great if that’s what you want, but for most of us “healthy” means being in reasonable shape, eating our fruit and vegetables and generally having a feeling of vitality.
Decide on your definition of a healthy lifestyle, and then plan a strategy that works for you.
As part of my health plan I decided I wanted to walk in the mornings before breakfast, but there was no way I wanted to get up at the ***** of dawn to do it. So I planned a ten minute circuit that includes a short flight of steps and a not too steep incline. I power walked that route every day and felt really good. Sure l wouldn’t make the City to Surf marathon, but I compromised and made it work for me.
Today, much is made of organic foods, but the reality is that organic food is generally more expensive and well out of the range for most budgets. Yes organic is probably the best option, but it doesn’t mean that if you’re not eating all organic you are not eating right. If you’re concerned about general produce, be a bit discerning when you shop. Look for fruit and vegetables that are fresh and unblemished. You should also buy product brands that you can trust. If you shop wisely, you can have a well-balanced healthy diet that won’t break the bank.
Basically living a healthy life means looking at your lifestyle as a whole, it is not just about diet and exercise. It is not always necessary to make major changes. Most people know their weak spots, and are happy if they can make a few changes that show results.
A friend of mine was drinking several cans of soft drink a day. She was feeling tired and generally under the weather. When I read an article about the health risk of soft drink I copied it and gave it to her, whereupon she decided to give up the soft drink there and then. A week later she got back to me and said she couldn’t believe the difference, her energy levels were up and she was feeling great. Just that one change was able to make a difference and she feels good about the healthy choice.
Sleep and leisure time play a big part in a healthy lifestyle, and for the most part people underestimate the value of good sleep. Our bodies aren’t designed to operate at peak performance twenty four hours a day. Anyone in industry knows that machines that have to work continuously need a lot of maintenance. When we are sleeping our body is healing and regenerating itself and we should wake up feeling refreshed and revitalized.
We can go without sleep for extended periods, but we can’t do it indefinitely. The amount of sleep an individual needs varies a great deal, and there is no such thing as the right time to sleep. Obviously most people sleep at night, but if you are one of those folk that comes alive in the small hours, you might need to catch up with your sleep during the day.
A big part of healthy living is being comfortable with yourself. Don’t be pressured into trying to attain a certain look, or push yourself down a career path you are not suited to. Constant worry about what you are doing will only have the opposite effect on your health. Don’t get paranoid about your diet, about what toothpaste you should use or about expensive exercise equipment you need to buy.
Allow a common sense approach to dictate when you are making lifestyle choices, and remember, there is nothing wrong with compromise if it means your healthy lifestyle plan will work for you.
