Do you feel like some parts of your life are working great, yet others are a mess?
Consider how “busy” has become a way of life or a badge of honor. If you lead a full life, are driving hard toward your goals then you risk burn-out or knocking the important elements of your life out of balance. The “tire on which you roll through life” will go flat.
The good news is you can easily fix this situation. This week’s guest, Walt Hampton, Senior Mentor for Life Leadership International, will show you how to rediscover joy in your life, discover more fun, freedom, and fulfillment, and will help you achieve success without the stress.
Walt shares the secrets of living a balanced life. It starts with recognizing that this requires daily effort. It’s not hard, but it’s not simple either. Think of the habits and routines you’ve allowed yourself to fall into. How many of them give you a sense of fulfillment? One message from a favorite author of Walt’s, Robin Sharma, is that the way you start your day really determines you day’s outcomes and the quality of your day.
Walt starts his day at 4:30 am and spends time working on himself before he engages his clients or his “work”. What are some of his core routines? Outdoor exercise such as biking or running, journaling, reading, and meditating are great ways to work on yourself.
How do you know that you might need some more attention on yourself? If you feel stressed, tired, or too busy then listen to that signal. A life in balance is a life in flow – things are working without stress. They are effortless. As Walt describes from his days as a high-altitude mountain climber, if it feels hard, then you’re probably on the wrong route. The same applies in our lives.
Listen in to the great wisdom that Walt shares in this interview and you’ll be inspired to make some conscious choices regarding how you spend your time and invest in yourself.
