Day 19 - Don't Work Yourself To Death

You've got to set some boundries when it comes to your work life!

Set certain days and times that are only for you or for your family. Instead of causing you to fall behind, you will probably work more efficiently during the rest of the week.

Day 18 - Keep walking..

This is how I feel sometimes....just keep walking that line, keep trying to find my balance!!

Keep walking...keep walking...just keep walking!!!

Day 17 - Don't Take On Too Much

It is hard for many of us to delegate responsibility to others. Whether it is at work or in the home, we become victims of the “I’ll just do it myself” mentality. The result is that we spend too much time focusing on certain aspects of our lives while neglecting others. We quickly forget that everything is a trade-off. Learn to delegate to co-workers, family members and your spouse. Return the favor for them to achieve an even greater balance.

Delegate, Delegate, Delegate!!! I FOR SURE have the "I'll just do it myself" mentality!! Nobody does it the right way but me! Who am I kidding...!!! Seriously, I always load the dishwasher, well, cause I'm the only one in this house that does it right. Really Lori?? What makes my way better?? I have no idea, I just have to get over those things!! Oh lord, the dishwasher is just a start on what I could go on about, but I think I'll ONLY go there!! LOL

Of course that is just a little thing...but I always take on too much. I have to learn to say no once in awhile!!

Are you a victim of the "I'll just do it myself" mentality??

Day 16 - Be Nice To Others

Plain and simple.............Be Nice To Others!!

Being nice and being kind to others has the "pay it forward" effect that not only makes you feel good but quite possibly improves the world around you!

I try to instill in my daughter and all of the kiddos that I take care of:

Do unto others.....treat people the way you want to be treated!

Day 15 - Be Positive

Be positive, Stay positive!!!

Positive upbeat people tend to have a clearer point of view and generally speaking get more of what they want out of life....including proper balance.

This is a HUGE thing for me...I believe in staying positive...it's the one thing in this journey to Finding Balance that I can say...I've Got This!!!

Is your glass half full or half empty??

Happy Saturday!!

Day 14 - Slow Down

Slow Down

Life is too short, so don't let things pass you by! Take time to stop and enjoy the things and people around you. Schedule more time between meetings; don't make plans for every evening or weekend, and find some ways to distance yourself from the things that are causing you the most stress.

Happy Friday!!!

xoxo

Day 13 - No Regrets

The things in the past are just that....the past. We can't change these things, they are over and done...you have to move on and hopefully you learned something from it all!! Living with regret throws everything off Balance, we can't be overcome with the should've, the could've or the would've.

Life in the present and enjoy each moment as it happens!!

xoxo

Day 12 - Almost forgot...

Looks like I'll have two posts today...oops!!!

Be back later today!!

Day 11 - Priortize

I found this online and I LOVE it!!!

Our journey in life defines exactly who we are. Prioritize your life. Your thoughts are powerful. Create a mental picture of exactly what you want in life. Use this as your "roadmap." Now you can sit down, and create a list of your priorities. Take your time with this. Decide what you can really control in your life. Release the rest

Happy Tuesday!!

Day 10 - Taking Care of Me

So since I'm learning to balance....right now I'm taking care of me...so bear with me while I try to get rid of the raging headache and sore throat, and congestion!!! I had a field trip with Lily's class today, had a blast, but.....I'm all done!! Hope this "thing" I've got going on will go away soon!! Did you ever notice that when Mom's get sick, our life has to go on like normal but when Dad's get sick, their world stops?? Today..I want to be a Dad!! LOL

Better Balance posts are soon to come!!
