Practical: Adjective. Doable, Realistic, In action, Systematic, Sensible, Feasible

Balance: Noun. Harmony, Proportion, Peace, Integrity, Oneness, Order, Unity
 

So think of Practical Balance as Doable Harmony.

This doesn’t necessarily mean that all areas in your life are equally proportioned in neat little time blocks.  It does mean that overall, how you choose to invest your time and energy is in integrity with what you value and hold dear. It doesn’t mean you’re always doing what is #1 on your priority list every moment of every day. For your priorities change with your life cycles and as you develop new preferences.

Practical Balance is using a systematic approach to create a life and business that is aligned with what is most precious to you. Your life and what you value is a package that may  include: work, children, play, aging parents, building a business, spiritual practices, personal growth, a new spouse, intellectual pursuits, administrative stuff like paying the bills, and making a commitment to connect with treasured friends. 

Practical Balance is about integrating and blending all of the wonderful experiences you truly want as consistently as you can without cutting yourself off from unexpected opportunities and surprises.

Practical Balance requires you to:

1. Know your unique definition of success. This is your compass and reflects your essential ingredients to a fulfilling life and business.

2. Use your compass daily as a healthy boundary and to keep you pointed toward your true North.

3. Use tools and systems to keep you on track. Tools are things like the Daily Discovery Series, calendars, lists, affirmations, right action, 24KT planning, software, gadgets, organizers, and empowering habits and whatever you will use consistently to stay pointed to your True North.
That’s about it. Seems pretty simple when you look at it this way, doesn’t it?

Peace!
