That Crazy Little Thing...

...Called Results

"There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because their is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and will be lost."  -- Martha Graham

Life balance give us greater access to the fullness of who we are and the energy to express it. When we are in sync with our inner rhythm, we produce remarkable results with less effort

Go From Tired to Inspired

Breakdown

If you need a moment - to experience your feelings and figure out how you're going to respond to an overwhelming challenge - take it! We give children a little time and space to cope with change. Why not give ourselves some of the same consideration? Because we're adults. Please! The relentless pressures of work and life subject us to chronic stress - shattering our focus, limiting our progress, and eroding our self-confidence. No wonder so many smart executives, professionals and entrepreneurs feel like they are not good enough.

 

Breakthrough

Breakdowns lead to breakthroughs when you access your inner calm and respond with quiet clarity. Practice this simple life balance exercise and notice the difference it makes for you.

  • BE silent for a minute or two. Get in touch with what you're feeling.
  • BREATHE slowing and deeply. Release with each exhale feelings that do not help you cope with the current situation.
  • CONSIDER your options. Choose how you are going to respond.
Practice this routinely and notice your energy shift from tired to inspired. You'll find yourself thinking and acting more strategically...and making better decisions.

Energize Your Life

Folks Ain't Got Time 

Instead of thinking "I'll be happy when..." or saying "I'll be happy if...", freelance writer Veronica Ray suggests we ask ourselves a question. What 'if's' and 'but's' are limiting our enjoyment of life? In her book Choosing Happiness: The Art of Living Unconditionally she reminds us to focus on a natural and available energizer - JOY

"We may miss a great deal of joy because we expect it to be unusual, dramatic, and spectacular. We are waiting for lights to flash and bells to ring. But the truth is that joy is here, right now, waiting for us to notice it."
