Change Your Life From Ordinary to Extraordinary

Do you feel like you are spinning your wheels?
Do you have a business or personal goal that seems unreachable?
Is your life is way off kilter?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, here are few tips for you.

Spinning Your Wheels

If you are stuck in the muck of an ordinary life, do yourself a favor and come to terms with what is truly interesting and important to you. For me, it's always a list. Then ask yourself how much time you're spending doing the things that are no longer of any interest to you. Start eliminating the tasks, roles and events in your life that no longer fit. This process allows you to make time for the projects and hobbies you've missed due to your prior commitments. Spring is the perfect time for renewal.

Audacious Goals

Map out an outline to reach your seemingly unreachable goal. The only way to "eat an elephant" is one bite at a time. Consider reaching out to a trusted mentor who has already accomplished a similar plan. You might find working with a professional coach as an accountability partner helpful. One you've determined the steps you need to take to reach your goal, add a critical path time-line (start with your goal date and work backwards) to your calendar. These steps will help you become accountable for every bite. Before you know it, your audacious goal will start to materialize and PRESTO... Big Audacious goal accomplished.

Well-Balanced Living

Part of being alive is wearing many hats. We are parents, spouses, friends, entrepreneurs, employees, siblings, sons and daughters. Discovering the right balance of family, work, spirituality, fitness, education and more can be daunting if you don't know where to start. I've found the best way to tackle life balance is to be honest with yourself and identify the areas in your life that are suffering. One recommendation is taking time to assess your life. Make a list of all of the areas that make up your world, then rate each area on a scale of 1 to 10. The higher number reflecting the areas where you spend most of your time. In a matter of minutes you will discover the areas in your life that may be out of whack. Once you know where the deficits are you can start to rearrange your priorities. Once you've rearranged your priorities you are taking a big step on the path of true balance.
