The Journey to a Balanced Life

In the new age world, it’s important to find a work life balance. Your family, friends, career, all need hard work, to work. Here’s a few simple ideas to get a head start on positive changes.

PERSONAL GOALS

1) #metime

This is a pretty simple goal, spend 30 minutes a day doing almost anything that helps you relax and calm your mind. Meditate, read, paint, listen to music – anything that helps you reconnect, with you. Laptops and cellphones are banned during these 30 minutes.

2) New and Improved!

Spend an hour every week learning about something new. Choose a topic that interests you. This could be anything from quilting to archery. And who knows, this could turn into a hobby, which could lead to exciting experiences and new adventures.

3) 60% of the Human Body is Water

Drink green tea or lemon water every morning to help remove toxins. Drink 8 glasses of water a day. Staying hydrated is good for your overall mental and physical health. If you drink tea or coffee, gradually reduce the amount of sugar until none is needed.

4) Zzz’s

You need 6-8 hours sleep to keep on top of your game during the day. If you battle to fall asleep, go to bed 15 minutes earlier every day until you reach your ideal bedtime.

5) Healthy Body, Healthy Mind

Start by exercising 30mins, 3 times a week. Slowly build up your fitness levels to one hour 3 times a week. Then add additional training days to your schedule. Exercise is vitally important for both your physical and mental health. The same applies to your diet. Start by having healthy meals 3 days a week. Then gradually increase your ‘healthy eating’ days. Remember to reward yourself with an ‘off day’.

6) Connect

Emotional connections with other like-minded positive people is vitally important for your well-being. Make it a priority to connect with family and friends every month.

HOME GOALS

1) Home Office
