START HERE FOR MORE LIFE BALANCE – Part 3 of 3

Ask yourself, are you satisfied with your physical health status? The status of your healthy thinking? Your emotional well-being? Your social life? Or, your spiritual life?

Overall, to have a balanced life is to have satisfaction in these areas. But, keep in mind that no ones life is perfectly balanced.

With Life Balance comes the right amount of self-care and connection with your world. You’ll have what you need to fully engage in activities that are required of you. And you’ll have what you need to engage in activities that bring you personal satisfaction.

In previous posts I suggested ways to identify how you currently spend your time and how you would like to spend your time. I suggested that you create a plan to close the gap between the two life experiences.

After creating your Life Balance plan, here are some suggestions to maintain your Life Balance.

SUGGESTIONS
a. Identify what you require on a regular basis to maintain your Life Balance. What do you need? How will you get it?

b. Set your priorities for how you’ll manage your Life Balance routine. What’s your plan to get what you need?
c. Follow your routines that honor your priorities. How will you hold yourself accountable?
d. Communicate your priorities to those who can help you stay on track. Perhaps a buddy-system?
e. Modify your responsibilities and manage your time more effectively. Will you enlist help, return a task to its rightful owner, abandon an unnecessary task, spend more time on a task, spend less time on a task, share responsibility for completion of a task?

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.
