Are you working to live or living to work?

By now you must have realized that working like crazy isn’t working. We have become so wrapped up in the busyness of our lives, that we neglect our personal well being. 

Take some quiet time and go through the following personal stock take. Do not judge or edit your ideas. Get ready to go to the post office of life and submit a change of address.

“Life is not a stress rehearsal” - Loretta Laroche

1. Give up the Juggling Act

Let a few of the “balls” you are juggling in your busy life drop.

Here are some of the “balls” I recommend you let go first:

• Trying to have everyone like you
• Trying to do everything perfectly
• Trying to do everything

Don’t overwhelm yourself, take baby steps in moving towards creating your dreams. Give yourself a break, stay on the path and develop consistency in the direction you intend to go.

2. Create your Vision Board

You might have heard of it but have you actually done it yet? Cut out pictures from magazines of all you wish to bring into your life. It could be the actual object (a car) or it could be a picture depicting an emotion (happiness).

Place these on a board, with a photo of yourself in the centre. Position your vision chart where you can clearly see it daily. Be ready for things to start happening really fast! I have created 5 vision boards in the last 6 years.

I have to keep making new ones because most of what I had on the previous boards has already materialized.

“People with a vision flourish, people without a vision perish” - Scripture

3. Implement change NOW

Decide today what changes you need to make in your life and implement them from NOW-what are you waiting for-that crisis to happen? Being retrenched? Your partner leaving you? For that “push” read the Power of NOW by Eckhart Tolle.

“If I do not work to create the life I want, I will have to endure the life I get.” - Dave Knowles, Headmaster of St Stithians
