10 Super Ideas to Live a Happy & Balanced Life

What does it mean to live a happy, satisfying and balanced life? 

Take a look and implement some of the following ideas to a more balanced life.

1. Sit in Silence for At Least 10 Minutes Each Day. I call it Thinking Time

Your mind has been working hard for you the whole day at work, or at home. Give it a break during the day. 

2. Don’t Take Yourself Too Seriously.

Don’t be too hard on yourself. Have a sense of humor. Humans make mistakes. No one is perfect, so give yourself permission to make mistakes.

3. Dream More While You Are Awake. But Write down Goals with deadlines.

Dreaming gives you inspirations and it’s a component of a balanced life. All the things we enjoy now, such as electricity and airplane flights, are a result of someone else’s dreams.

4. No One Is in Charge of Your Happiness Except You

You are 100% responsible for your life. If you are unhappy, it’s up to you to do something about it. You see, we are the CEO’s of our Life.

5. Life Is Too Short to Waste Time Hating Anyone. Forgive or apologize and move on…

You can spend the rest of your life hating someone, but that doesn’t mean that person will change.

6. Don’t Waste Your Precious Energy on Gossip. Or watching Bad TV

Your energy is better spent on yourself. Why waste your energy listening to things about other people that may not be true?

7. Formulate Systems to multiply yourself.

Delegate the not so popular jobs to others.  Systems make life systematic and fun. A lot more gets accomplished daily. Living daily to the fullest is the peak performance of a balanced life.

8. No Matter How You Feel, Get Up, Dress Up, and Show Up.

Woody Allen said, “Showing up is 80 percent of life.” When you make a commitment to yourself or a New Year resolution, show up and do what you promise to do.

9. Dream More While You Are Awake. But Write down Goals with deadlines.

Dreaming gives you inspirations and it’s a component of a balanced life.

10. Spend Precious Time with Your Family Often.

Family is important. Immediate family activities are essential for a balanced life. You can always count on your family during good and bad times.

11. What Other People Think of You Is None of Your Business.

You can’t control what other people think about you. Your business is what you think of yourself. You can work on how you think about yourself. If people think negatively about you, but you have a strong self-worth, you won’t get affected.

12. You Don’t Have to Win Every Argument.

Most bad relationships are a result of arguments. Why do you have to win every argument? Winning an argument doesn’t make you or the other party happier. There is usually no right or wrong, just a difference in perception.
