keeping balanced | The Warm Milk Journal

How are you going to have a great day today? A journal writing session.

Published May 31, 2011 | By Debra

What will make this a great day for you? In your journal, write down as many things that come to mind… ready set go!

This is how I am going to have a great day!

1. Go into work with a positive attitude.

2. Focus on one thing at a time. If I just do one thing well, I will have succeeded. The rest? Just let go…

3. Remind myself throughout my day that I am not responsible or in control of other people’s behavior

4. At the end of my day, go for a great workout and bike ride out to the beach,

and finally..

5. Enjoy a relaxing evening with my wonderful loving husband.

Make it a great one, guys.

Cheers,

Debra

(Yes, this is me and my husband, John)

Staying balanced has many benefits: improved health, greater satisfaction at work, happier relationships, less anxiety, and better sleep.

Here are ten Ways to keep balanced:

Learn to say no
Accept the fact that you will never pleae everyone so you do not even need to try!
Take mental breaks throughout your day
Get outdoors at least once a day.
Always have a healthy snack available to keep your blood sugar steady (I always have almonds in my purse or car).
Deep down you know what you need. If you need social interaction, get yourself out there! If you need solitude then hole up in your nest unapologetically and come out when you are ready to.
Minimize your exposure to the media and negative people.
Read things that inspire you.
Do something nice for someone else at least once a day.
Write in your journal.
