Align your actions with your values to live a congruent life.
- Alignment versus balance
- Balance doesn’t really work – there will always be different areas of your life that require more attention
- Work towards alignment instead
- Have you actions fit your values and goals
- There will always be conflicts
- We all want our cake and it eat it too as they say – we can
- Recognize that conflicts do exist
- Work versus Family / Work versus Health
- Sometimes our actions will conflict with each other – that’s Okay
- This is why balance doesn’t work – our focus will change and our required attention will shift
- We don’t need to stress over it, we just need to understand it and plan for it
- Something will always have to bend – just make sure the right things are being compromised
- Review your goals and missions and make sure your actions are congruent
- Plan for the ebb and flow of your time and attention
- If you need to spend extra time at work plan what area will lose some attention
- Understand the inter-relationships of your actions – often extra work for a time leads to more freedom in the future
