Leveraging Your Time, Energy and Fun!
Since many of us may be looking for ways to freshen up our lives and our habits, I would like to give you a sneak preview of an exercise that I created called “The Perfect Life Filter™”. The purpose of this exercise is to help us take a look at the different areas of our lives that are important to us (family, fitness, finance, fun and freedom) and to make sure that we are not out of balance in any one area. For example, I can get focused on work (because my work is one of my passions) and then ignore my heath and my family…even working through an entire weekend. This is certainly not the way to develop deep and meaningful relationships with my family and friends and in the long run…it ends up not being that much fun either!
Think about your life and what’s important to you. How can you combine your goals to leverage your time and energy? Here are some examples of how to do this for yourself. Please share your results with us on this blog. Thank you!
Exercise:
Take a moment now and list your goals for each of the following areas:
• Family Goals: (Deepen Relationships)
• Fitness Goals: (Self Care – Energy)
• Finance Goals: (Security – Abundance)
• Fun Goals: (Joy – Experiences)
• Freedom Goals: (Self Expression)
Now think of ways you can combine more that one goal to leverage your time…simple! For example:
• Family & Fun: Vacation
• Fitness & Fun: Go to the park with family
• Family & Freedom: Dancing: Trance Dance @ Karma Yoga
• Finances & Freedom: Personal Development – Creating Products
• Freedom & Fun: Travel

I like the idea of leveraging time and energy. Just the fact of becoming clearer of what is in our life and what we want in our life can in itself create new perspective and possibility.
Thank you for this blog.
