Have you ever had a day when everything just fell into place, the weather, who you are with and where you are spending your time. Usually for me that’s when i am on vacation were i dont have to think about making money just spending it. When i think of those times i can feel what is missing from the day to day life of busniess and that is balance. As entrepreneurs we tend to spend our waking hours focusing on the details of our business. Who to call next, short term goals, how can i maximize my time and on and on we can be thinking and doing 24/7 if we needed to. That is why it is also important to schedule time for yourself and relax or go to the beach and recharge your batteries. I used to surf alot more when i was younger and didn’t have as many responsibilities, now i have a family, 2 businesses and expanding as i go along. So for myself what used to be a spontoneous decisions to go surf with the nieghbors is now an activity i have to schedule or I would just work right through any chance of surfing. A trainer once told me that by excersing once a day for 30 minutes or some kind of active sport would give you more energy thoughout the day and add years to your cardiovascular health. What is the point of being wealthy if you are not healthy. Excersing also reduces stress and chasing the dream or just making a living is very stressful so everyone needs to work on staying healthy and stress free. Imagine years from now and how healthy you will be if you make the right decisions now everyday for the rest of your life. That is living powerfully.
To keep balance in your life you also need to focus on family or your Legacy. Leadership is another area of life i believe is important too so i will write about those aspects in upcoming post… Till then make healthy choices.
