Balance your Life!
In one life we have to play different roles, for example l am a wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, granddaughter, cousin, cleaner, dishwasher, clothes drier, clothes washer, iron lady, chauffer, cook....just to name a few. If l had to get paid by the hour for what l do and how many hours l put in l would be a millionaire by now and l guess paying someone else to do these things, lol! But instead l need to find balance in my life each day so that all these tasks can be done, l can be sane and l can also have time to myself. So here are some helpful tips....
- Try to go for work early and don't take work home. This will require you to learn how to switch of from work when you get home, so that you can spend more "quality" time at home with your family.
- Always try to avoid working in weekends if you can, they are short enough as it is, lol
- In your day planner along with meeting schedules also write birthdays as you always look in it and you can plan ahead.
- Take a break during work and do some stretching exercises right at your seat or get up each hour to get a glass of water, or make a herbal tea.
- Eat healthy, your body will thank-you for it. I found these great healthy snacks, that taste great and are good for you and they are Only In A Woman's World Frito Lay products which include Smartfood popcorn clusters, SunChips or 100 Calorie Pack. Once you try them you will never go back to eating anything else.
- If you are tight for time, do your exercise during your lunch hour, or if you are a busy stay at home mum, put your baby in the stroller and go for a power walk.
- Take time out each day to do something you like, whether it is to do a facial, catch up on your reading or just to relax.
- Call your friends so see how they are going so at least they know you are thinking of them.
You are the CEO of your life so take control and manage it well. You ultimately need to find what is right for you and what brings balance to your life. But l hope these tips can help you get started. This post was sponsored by Only In A Woman's World, to check out more go to www.awomansworld.com
