Re-define Success: Prioritize Self-Care for a Balanced Life
Discover how to redefine success by prioritizing self-care and creating a more balanced lifestyle.
The Never-Ending Cycle of Busyness
Always Something to Do
There's always something to do, right? Somewhere to be. Someone to meet. Commitments to fulfill.
Questioning Our Actions
We all have our reasons, but there's one thing we need to ask ourselves: Is this really taking me toward my idea of success? How do I define success?
Societal Pressure
The irony in all this is how we define success as a society encourages you to live a hectic life where you can't take time for yourself.
Redefining Success
Peace of Mind
Some of these themes are peace of mind, a sense of calm, and for things to slow down. We're really looking for common underlying themes, no matter what the category.
Enjoying Life
What we're looking for is the exact opposite of the typical hectic lifestyle most people live. We want to actually enjoy our lives and take time for ourselves.
Financial Abundance
We can define success by financial abundance or happiness in relationships and family.
The Postponement Trap
1
Reach for Success Now
You feel the need to reach for success now, so then you can finally relax, slow down and enjoy a sunset in the future.
2
Waiting for the Right Moment
But when does that moment come? Next week? Next vacation? Next year? When we finally reach a long-standing goal? When we retire?
3
Never-Ending Cycle
It becomes a never-ending cycle of work for play; only a lot of people forget to actually take time to play now because of how they define success!
The Price of Success
The Busy Trap
When work is over, then errands. And when errands are over, then it's obligation A, then B. Then it's time to just crash and get ready to do it all over again so there's no opportunity left to take time for yourself.
The Cost of Hard Work
No doubt, hard, effective work can pay off, but at what price? We need to change how we define success to include more balance and time for ourselves.
A New Definition of Success
1
Balance
Our definition of success needs to be one that speaks to our needs for more balance in our lives.
2
Quality Time
We need more time to be with those we care about and more time for play.
3
Self-Care
Success should include more time to take care of ourselves and do the things we really want to do, not just what we feel like we have to do.
The Root of Overwork: Fear
Fear of Not Doing Enough
People fear that they're not doing enough, or that they're not good enough. They fear that if they don't spend enough time on results-driven activity, they won't get anywhere.
The Mind's Role
The mind can be our greatest ally or our greatest obstacle, striving to protect the Ego that above all else wants safety, security, and to make sure we have "enough".
The Problem with Always Seeking "Enough"
It's never enough. This way of thinking can lead to a constant need for more, a never-ending cycle of work for play.
Balancing Success and Well-being
Exercise: Defining Your Success
1
List Your Values
What's most important to you? If you didn't have to work, how would you spend your time and take time for yourself?
2
Leverage Your Time
How could you leverage yourself (i.e. earn money while you sleep)? Who can you delegate some of your time-consuming tasks to?
3
Adjust Your Schedule
Adjust your schedule for the next month by assigning specific times you take for yourself. Block out these times first. Consider them appointments and keep them as you would any other.
Your Turn: Define Your Success
Reflect
Can you relate to the challenge of the "never-ending cycle of work for play?"
