(upbeat music) - Hello, and welcome to the Accountability Coach podcast. We will discuss topics, ideas, questions and issues related to having a totally balanced and successful life. This is Ann Baccrack. Today we're going to talk about five tips for creating balance in your life. Is your life truly in balance? Don't be so quick to answer yes. Reading a balanced life doesn't mean living 50/50 between your personal and your business life. It's about having enough time to do what really matters to you, whether that's turning a nice profit in business or spending quality time with your family. If you feel as if you live in completely out of alignment, if you feel your life is completely out of alignment, follow these five tips for creating balance in your life. Number one, identify what's important to you. There's no right or wrong way to go about creating balance in life. This truly is a to each zone situation. Do you desire more time with your family? Maybe you're more interested in traveling the world. Do you want to be more fit and healthy? Or perhaps you just want to focus on building your business for now? Contrary to common belief, balance doesn't have to equal out to 50/50. If you're content with the way you divide your time, your ideal balance could work out to be 60% work and perhaps 40% family time or vice versa. Number two, evaluate your current circumstances. Is your life in balance with your values? It's easy to be excited about reaching your goal but is what you want or what someone else wants for you, the case. This can be a fuzzy area for a lot of people because they allow the desires of someone else to mask their own desires. Before we know it, we really don't want what we thought we did want. Are you where you want to be right now? If not, you need to evaluate what you need to do to get there. Your dreams and aspirations are important and should not be thrown away. If something in your life is consuming too much of your time and it's not bringing you closer to achieving your goals, then some adjustments obviously will need to be made before you can achieve your goals. There is a high price to pay when you give up on your dreams. So always work towards achieving professional and personal goals that are meaningful to you. Number three, think outside the box. This is where you can get creative. Begin to consider creative ways to either create more time and or more money. Maybe you can take on a part time job for one year and earn an additional 30,000 to do with as you please. Or perhaps you want to go back to school but don't want to go into debt. Maybe you've had a difficult time finding a new job in town or building your business. Consider moving to another city or state or even a foreign country. Thinking outside the box will allow you to come up with solutions you may not have considered before. Number four, redesign your life around your values. If your life is out of balance, it may be because your life doesn't match your values. Redesigning your life when there are others to consider may be a little tricky, but it will be well worth it in the long run. The most important thing to remember is that sacrificing happiness will not bring balance in your life or the other way around. You first have to design your life from the inside out around your values for it to be in balance, not to mention to experience any level of happiness. It's amazing how much easier life seems when you design it in line with your values. You can't, you will find greater satisfaction in many if not all areas of your life. If you start with the core and work outward. Number five, evaluate your progress every three months or so. Be sure to stay on track and remain in balance according to your values. Reevaluate your plan and make minor tweaks as needed, at least once a quarter, at every three months. You need to delegate more tasks out to an assistant or implement a more strategic way of managing your time. If you find that changes are not being made either by lack of action or resources, it's time to take a good look in the mirror. Ask yourself what you really want and create a new list of goals. Prioritize what's most important to you and focus on rebalancing your life to accommodate those goals. Creating balance in life won't happen overnight. It may take weeks or even months. The most important thing is to be sure your goals are really what you want. It doesn't matter what someone else wants for you. It only matters what you truly want. Always start from within and look outward, not the other way around. Although you have others to consider when making changes to your life, they should never be the reason you do not create a life that always will bring you happiness and bring you success. To help you get started, complete your personal Wheel of Life and quality of life enhancer exercise that you find on my website at accountabilitycoach.com. These resources are complimentary.
