Here are nine strategies that, taken together,
can help to change course without abandoning the destination and help
you restore your work life balance:
1. Don't panic.
Even if you feel panicky, you can choose modest, recoverable
steps to address the situation. This is no time to get a divorce, fire
an employee, or buy a new computer system. Tip: Talk with a coach
or therapist to get perspective.
2. Return to Source.
Whatever your spiritual orientation or tradition, connect with what for
you is the Source of life or spirit. Know that there is something larger
than you that encompasses you. Spend at least 15 minutes each day connecting
with that Source
3. Take a body inventory.
Are you sleeping well? How are you eating? What's your
energy level? If these are not up to par, get a professional evaluation
and take the steps that will restore your well being.
4. Tell the truth.
Sometimes energy flags when we've gotten into a pattern
of pleasing others or living according to standards that are not our own.
Notice if there is any imbalance. Notice where you're being less than
forthright and get clear about your motives, then clean it up. (Talking
to a coach or therapist can facilitate clear, authentic communication.)
5. Keep good company.
Are you stimulated and encouraged by your peers and clients?
Do you have great playmates? Playing on the wrong playground with the
wrong kids is neither fun nor productive.
