11 Things To Do To Invest In A Balanced Life

Happy Friday!!! The weekend is here, and life is beautiful... until Monday. Do you feel rested? Or are you the hamster spinning your wheel? 2021 has still been a drain as we are still surviving. We as a nation are not thriving as we battle natural disasters, political division and societal collapse while fighting a pandemic. There is a perpetual search for a work-life balance. What happens when you take work off the table? Oftentimes, people wrap their identity in their job title or profession. But who are you really? Sheltering in place has given me plenty of time to re-evaluate some things. First and foremost, I needed to get away and rest. Often, we don't want to slow down and admit that we are human. Life has advanced technologically, but we are forever chasing the next "big thing". Luckily, many people have refocused and recalibrated to regain and maintain levity in all facets of their lives. In my research, I found eleven things we can do to invest in a balanced life:

1. Exercise Regularly

2. Set Goals

3. Strengthen Your Current Skills

4. Learn a New Skill

5. Attend Seminars and Workshops

6. Keep a Journal

7. Get Organized and Declutter Your Stuff

8. Break Your Bad Habits

9. Read

10. Find a Creative Outlet

11. Get Out of Debt

These changes are small but can make a huge impact on your daily activities. Take the time to make these actions habits to thrive by. Our fast paced lives can run you right into a rut. It can be overwhelming. Some react by going into auto pilot. Others numb themselves with legal and illegal substances. Still others shut down completely. It can be a vicious cycle as we dance around issues instead of tackling them. I managed to reconnect with my purpose and realign my efforts with my vision. Getting away gave me fresh perspective and alignment. I've been tweaking some plans and I am excited to implement this new strategy. How has your life been going? What are you up to?
