Simple Shifts for a Better Life

Your work is important, but its only one part of your life. 

Sure, it provides income, community, routine and a sense of purpose. It puts you in a position to help people on a daily basis. However, the other areas need attention too. Your family, your hobbies, your friends outside of work…all of these elements are essential to your sanity and overall enjoyment of life. 

Of course, you know this. That’s why you’re reading this article. Now, you could quit your job and radically restructure your life, but you probably don’t really want that. And, truth be told, small changes are the longest lasting and most impactful. 

With that in mind, here are 3 simple changes you can make right now to profoundly improve your work-life balance. 

1. Exercise Throughout Your Day

Studies have shown that short workouts done throughout the day are more beneficial for your health than trying to bang out 30 mins at the gym after work. Every 45 mins or so, get up and stretch, walk around the building, or do a few pushups. This will give you more energy, a sharper brain and loads of endorphins that make you happier. That way you have energy to play with your friends and family when the workday is done. 

2. Meditate Frequently

Don’t force yourself into a rigorous schedule of an hour of meditation every morning. Get 5 minutes in. Then another 5 minutes at lunch. Then another 5 after work in your car. Set the timer, close your eyes, and focus on your breath. This will keep you from over-stressing and becoming reactive. Your friends and family will appreciate that…and it doesn’t take much on your part. 

3. Unplug During Important Activities

When you go to a concert, attend your kids’ soccer game, or sit down for games with your friends, turn your phone off. Better yet, leave it someplace safe in your car. You can pick it up later, I promise. For these few precious moments, ditch your digital life and live in analog for a while. 

You don’t have to drastically overhaul your life. Start living a little differently, and soon you’ll see huge improvements.

Make Your Moments Matter

There are some experiences in life that hit you like a freight train. They’re so big, so magnificent, so impactful that you can hardly help but to feel humbled and awed by them. The Grand Canyon. The Great Pyramids. The birth of your child. A thunderstorm over the ocean. Falling in love. These experiences leave you wide-eyed and breathless, if only for a few moments. 

Then there are the smaller moments…The way the sun shines through the clouds and bounces off the trees. The sounds of friends and family chatting in the local café. The coolness of a breeze as it whispers across your skin. The intoxicating rhythm of your favorite song. Bubbles in a warm bath. 

While they’re easily looked over and often forgotten, every one of these moments has the potential to stop you in your tracks and leave you filled with awe, joy and wonder. The trick lies within your attention. 

The big experiences of life command your full attention, and that’s what makes them great. That’s what makes them meaningful. However, your everyday-to-day activities and experiences can be filled with meaning simply by giving them your attention. 

You can consciously create a meaningful moment for yourself and others by intentionally bringing the full weight of your awareness to it. Activate your senses. Choose to be present, and suddenly you’ll find that the smallest of moments holds the magnitude of the entire universe…and you get to enjoy every bit of it. 

And you don’t have to just wait for one to come along. That’s one of the beauties of being human…you can create them! And it doesn’t have to cost much, if anything at all.

This happiness isn’t dependent on having the right job, finding the right partner, buying the right car, or finally retiring from “the grind.” It’s here for you, now, quietly calling to you from the soft edges of your awareness. 

All you have to do is listen, and the least becomes the greatest.

UPCOMING ONLINE EVENTS

Have you ever had a GREAT conversation with a TOTAL STRANGER?

If you have, then you’re probably aware that it’s much more than the content of a conversation that makes it great…it’s also the QUALITY OF CONNECTION that makes all the difference.

It’s really all about the power of empathy.

When you and your new friend are really listening and seeking to understand and appreciate one another, a safe space is naturally created in which you both feel inspired to dive deep, trust, and explore the mysteries of life together.

I invite you to enter a conversation today with the intention to build rapport through listening, understanding, and appreciation.  Really try to feel where your partner is coming from, and see what happens.  At the very least, you’ll be a better person for it.  Share a story of empathy and connection here.
