Are you seeking more balance between work and life? Are there aspects of your job or personal life you'd like to change and don't know where to start? Join author and speaker Michael Thomas Sunnarborg, Ambassador of Goodwill, as he guides you through 21 themes designed to help you unlock your full potential and find a better work/life balance--regardless of where you're at in life. Excerpt A recent study from Cox Media Group found that 89 percent of Americans view their work and life balance as a significant problem. Whether it's due to the expansion of technology or the plethora of choices that we face each day, our ability to filter information and stay focused is a constant challenge. The speed of our world is accelerating at an exponential rate and it doesn't appear that it will slow down any time soon. It's no wonder that it becomes more and more difficult to balance priorities between family, friends, and personal obligations while supporting our careers. You have the potential to make healthy choices and balance your priorities no matter where you are on your life journey. However, change doesn't come easily--it takes courage, dedication, and commitment. Lasting change comes in small steps. Each step evolves into a new habit, and over time, healthy habits become major life changes. By seeking to understand yourself better, learning to focus your energy, and practicing new healthy habits, you can find a better balance of your work and life. There are three chapters in this book, each focusing on one of three stages: awareness, alignment, and activation. Each chapter leads you through seven keys that will facilitate the balance process. Each key is designed to gently shift your perspective, remove barriers, and help you to unlock your full potential. Through this process, you will have the opportunity to establish new thoughts and perspectives that will help bring more balance in your work and life. Each of the 21 keys has a theme and a story, and at the end of each theme are questions for a Balance Plan and a Key Actuator. You might find it useful to journal about the questions or simply mull them over during your day. They can also serve as a useful meditation focus; simply bring the questions into your mind during your regular meditation practice and notice the thoughts that float up in response. The Key Actuator is a to-do activity designed to help you apply the lessons from each theme. Putting theory into practice helps integrate the concepts into your experience.
