Balance

I went to the NAPO (National Association of Professional Organizers) Conference last month. I learned so much, and enjoyed it tremendously. They had classes specifically on Organizing, classes about business in general, but also keynote speakers. And I have to tell you, the thing that impacted me most was the keynote speaker Jack Canfield (author of ‘Chicken Soup for the Soul’ books). He gave his Seven Vision Categories, and for me, this was gold! I’ve always had a rough idea of what I need to do to keep my life in balance, but I’ve never seen it outlined as clearly as Jack Canfield has: 1. Financial (for me, it’s completing my life insurance application process and continuing to invest in my future.) 2. Business & Career (for me, it’s continuing to actively grow my organizing business.) 3. Fun Time & Recreation (for me, play tennis with my husband more and go to the beach more.) 4. Health & Fitness (for me, I want to do my yoga stretches every morning and not just some mornings  and stay on track with my chiropractor program.) 5. Relationships (for me, it’s focusing on patient and understanding in all my relationships.) 6. Personal (for me, it’s remembering to trust my instincts, and staying grounded spiritually in order to handle stress.) 7. Contribution (your legacy-how do you want to make a difference? Me-I have lots of ideas and am still working on this…) If you give a little of yourself in each category, then you will be set for life . So, print this out, take out a pen, and jot down the first things that come to mind. And put it into action by scheduling it on your calendar and telling your accountability partner (that person who will hold you to your word and make sure you get it done. It could be your spouse, best friend, business partner, etc.).
