4 Keys To Enjoying Your Job and Your Life

Posted on by

Pursuing a career doesn’t mean having to choose your job over your life. If you know how to strike a balance between work and your personal life, then you won’t have to pick one over the other. To be your best in both, however, it’s advisable to develop a system that works for you.

TIME MANAGEMENT

Your ability to manage time is really one of the top two causes of success or failure in your life. What can you do to pave your way to success? Start a commitment notebook for your tasks. This way, it becomes easier to track your to-do lists and deadlines. Plus, you can even log in your personal goals you can incorporate into your work schedule, like a fitness regimen you’ve been dying to try for instance.

When you see your tasks laid out like that, balancing a fabulous life and a stellar career will be a breeze. It helps to define the importance of the different aspects of your life so that you know what you can focus on. A true successful individual will keep doing things that matter.

DEALING WITH STRESS

Of course, you will encounter stress along the way. Say no to stress-eating. Sit up straight at all times because slouching decreases your body’s oxygen intake, which eventually drains you of energy. Moreover, poor posture makes you develop chronic back and neck pains. Deal whatever it is you’re faced with by holding your head high. Flexibility and multitasking are things successful people do because of either socialization or nature.

Personally, I have modified my own view of multitasking recently, simply because of effectiveness, or lack thereof. I found that I was not following through completely on the task at hand, if I was trying to accomplish several at one time. You’ll have to see what works for you, based on your own needs.

LAUGHTER… IS THE BEST MEDICINE

More importantly, know the value of laughter. This is a foolproof stress buster. Sharing your humour with others eases up any awkwardness or pressure brought on by work. Say something silly or crack a joke because sillier can sometimes be better. If you’re not comfortable delivering one face-to-face, send it via email. To avoid blurting out inappropriate remarks, talk with your friends and colleagues. You will soon get to know them well enough to understand which things they’re not comfortable talking about or making fun of.

FINDING YOUR PURPOSE IN LIFE

You have to know that you have a purpose in life. Working towards this purpose at a gradual but steady pace will keep you hopeful even during your darkest moments. Take things lightly but have a sense of responsibility. This should keep your smile on despite difficulties. It is innate in a person to know what their purpose is; they just need time to soul search and realize what needs to be done. When you follow what you have been meant to do, you will live in harmony with the rest of the world.

The balance you are seeking should already be found within. It just needs to be rediscovered and unearthed. Embrace what you have right now and celebrate what is yet to come. Remember, you are all capable of great things. Fear limits what you can achieve and you must remove this from your heart. Remember, your psyche knows no boundaries, so live a little but always remember that you also have to be responsible about the things you do.

How to Get Healthy and Profit from It! (Part 2)

I’ve heard it referenced by nutritionists, and other experts in physiology, that our diet not only plays a HUGE factor in our appearance, but in our overall physical and mental health as well.  OMG… I thought I just saw the Pillsbury Doughboy looking back at me in the mirror… waving! LOL!

No, seriously…it’s a lifestyle choice! I just woke up to that! In my present state, having a health challenge (in “about Chris”), the sugar consumption can’t be beneficial. However, when rationalized that it (the sugar) is pleasurable, versus the health challenge which is not, it often makes for an easy choice. Not exactly an enlightened choice though is it?

We need to  become real “masters” in the traditional sense. Masters of our emotions… masters of our own minds/bodies. This seemingly impossible task can be broken down… one step at a time, one day at a time.

(I also have a very strong, distinct impression that my Mother’s death last year at 84 was directly related to her diet. She was overweight, high blood pressure…  had a seizure…  later a heavy-duty, paralyzing stroke…  culminating in her death 20-some months  afterwards.)

So… find your motivation…whatever it may be and get started… get healthy and profit from it!  I’m inviting you to join me in getting healthy. Do it at your own pace… but remember - Nothing else matters if you don’t have your HEALTH!

As I make witness to the world , I am publicly stating my need, desire and promise to myself… to turn my health issues around. I’m embarking on a 12-week transformation program to radically change my physical body. As the body clears, morphs and transforms, so too will the mind… and everything else will follow!

Click on the following link  bodybuilding.com for  resources. Included is a library of videos from world-class trainers with hundreds of successful results, providing helpful training plans and nutritional information… all at no cost… from so

I could use your help, your pointers and your encouragement to make this successful. Please leave your comments, below.  I won’t embarrass myself right now…  with my “Fat Elvis” pictures …but come April 25, 2010 – at the end of the 12-week transformation program – as a moth from inside the cocoon… transformation will bring a beautiful new being into existence!

How to Get Healthy and Profit from It! (part 1)

Today, I’ve had an epiphany …and with that came an inspiration… “How to get healthy and profit from it.“  Today is the day that life begins with a new resolve to get healthy… and I invite you along to witness, and perhaps join me as I begin the journey on my personal transformation.

White Sugar… it kills you, literally burns you up!

I’m not preach’n here… I’m in the choir! I’ve known how bad it is - sugar - but have continued without abeyance… one cookie at a time! I’ve been living with a sugar addiction and I believe it has affected my life, much more than I ever could have expected. This is personal… and hits home.

I’ve finally reached a threshold in my life where I must take action… and I’d like to encourage anyone who resonates with this, to see for themselves just how much you’ll personally profit from as a result of “getting healthy”.

I have heard it said that “if you want to be ‘at the top of your game‘ – in every sense of the word – you have to look after your health…” something I didn’t pay much attention to, even though I was sick.

Now, I have to! So, let’s start here… that refined white sugar that goes in your double-double coffee… is “white death!” How about just changing it up a bit, to start?  Try using “Stevia”, a naturally occurring, organic sugar substitute… and while you’re at it, try a single shot of cream, or low -fat milk in the coffee. One step at a time!

You know, the world gets busy and we can get caught up in it so many ways. We get too rushed to stop and have a relaxing meal. Instead, under pressure of deadlines, or just being too busy or tired to cook a nutritious meal, we find ourselves going through the “In-and-Out Burger”, scorfing down a double-patty something-or-other, a medium fries (I restrained myself…lol!) and wash it down with a large soda.

Now, that doesn’t seem too far out of whack, since the whole neighborhood is also there… but think about it? You probably just consumed about 50-75% of your daily caloric intake in a single meal.

Incredible… and yet we think nothing of it! I know I didn`t!

But then, later in life the physical space that we occupy… this “meat” body… starts to break down and we begin to question… why? You’ve most certainly heard the phrase… you are what you eat?  How much more productive and efficient, clear-headed, sharp and mentally focused could we be (which effectively translates in to profitable)… if we ate right?
