START HERE FOR MORE LIFE BALANCE – Part 2 of 3

Picture
In Part 1 of this series, I suggested that:
1. Life Balance is a momentary (or longer) experience of being okay with the five important areas that make up our lives.
2. Those five life areas are your physical health, your healthy thinking, your emotional well-being, your social life, and your spiritual life.
3. Life Balance is not perfection, it’s “playing the hand that you’re dealt” and living your best life.
 
In this, Part 2, I’m suggesting that you identify those areas of your life that contribute to your Life Balance and imbalance. Keep in mind that any life event, from winning the lottery to losing a loved one, can change our Life Balance. “Life” happens to our lives every day.
 
Take some time to identify how you currently spend your time, how you would like to spend your time, and begin to create a plan to close the gap between your two life experiences.
 
QUESTIONS
a. Does your idea of a balanced life match your real life? What’s the one imbalance that stands out the most? What are you willing to do to improve in this area?
 
b. Which area of your life receives too much attention? Too much of your time?
 
c. Which area of your life receives too little attention? Too little of your time?
d. Develop your plan. What can you do to spend the right amount of time in those areas?
 
e. Who, if anyone, must be included in your Life Balance plan to help assure success?
 
f. What will you change right away (today) to have more time for what’s important to you?
 
g. What changes will take some time to put into place?
 
h. What situations cannot be changed and must be accepted? (“Play the hand you’re dealt”)
 
Part 3 of this series is planned for tomorrow.

    My Transition From Psychotherapist to Personal Development Coach...

    I was a successful psychotherapist for 30-plus years and I’m still licensed in my home state of Ohio. Two years ago, I made significant adjustments to my life and career and focused my work solely on Coaching.

    Since then, I’ve been asked “how does that fit?”.

    Truth is, some people participate in psychotherapy to help “clarify some things” in their lives and to find direction. For them. it’s a wonderful revelation to know that finding their inner strengths in times of trouble and gaining clarity about current life situations is not a sign of weakness at all. It's a sign of strength.

    It has been said that the most effective coaches draw heavily on theories in psychology and skills-building methods. Both coaching and psychotherapy deal with behavior, emotions and thoughts.

    I have learned that an important key to living an effective life is self-awareness. For this to occur, it often means a journey beyond our current life events and a focus on "why" those events occur. In coaching, I help identify “why” and support my clients’ development of skills to live the life they would like.

    I encourage you to consider working with a professional who provides experience, wisdom and support -- and who also provides you with agreed upon methods of accountability to help encourage you to get things done.

    And, of course, I’d like for you to contact me.

    Would you like more information about my Personal Development Coaching? Or how about a brief, confidential, no-judgement discussion of your current situation? We’ll see if our working together is a good fit.

    Contact my offices at (336) 999-4533 during regular business hours (Eastern Time) or email me at DonnaColes.Coach@gmail.com and we’ll schedule our “getting to know you” conversation.
