Feeling the need for a little balance? This entry was posted on 4/7/2007 4:32 AM and is filed under Health and Balance. Life and work pressures can feel overwhelming at times. And when that
happens it’s good to take a breather and remind yourself what’s
important. Here are a few pearls of wisdom offered by Alan Weiss in his
newsletter Balancing Act (www.summitconsulting.com/ newsletter.html):
• Try to remember that what you are shooting for is success—not perfection. That should give some relief—you don’t have to be perfect and you don’t have to make excuses for being human. • When you have time off, avoid checking e-mail or voice mail, unless you are expecting something truly important. Why? You risk the chance of upsetting your peace of mind and your good night’s sleep if you see something that starts your mind working or worrying. Whatever it is, it’s likely that it can wait till you’ve relaxed, recharged and gotten a decent night’s sleep. • When you feel you’re being bombarded constantly with too much work, take some time to see if there are some areas you can streamline. You might be surprised at labor-saving technology, devices and techniques that are available. But you have to take the time to find and put them into action. |
