Life Balance and SynergyLife Balance and achieving synergyHave you ever noticed how when your relationships aren’t working then your career suffers or when your emotions are not right every other aspect of your life is affected? This is all about synergy in each of the seven major areas of life. On this page you will learn how to get started on creating a perfect life balance in these seven areas and do it with seemingly little effort, because once you begin to make shifts it becomes easier, as each faculty is balanced it offsets the remaining ones on a partial “autopilot”. Here you will discover some key daily habits that, if applied, will create so much freedom that you will feel a literal weight lift from your life and bring you so much closer to total fulfilment, ultimately it will bring you closer to true life balance. When one area of your life is at it’s peak, it tends to offset a reaction in each of the remaining six and creates enormous productivity and possibility, when all seven are aligned they feed off each other on an internal and external level and create enormous growth and momentum, total life balance. The seven areas are:
Physical/health:This area refers to your fitness, exercise, diet and anything else that relates to your health and your body. In addition to these obvious things it also means your image of yourself, how you appear to others, your energy, vitality and what you are physically capable of. You absolutely cannot achieve 100% life balance if you are unhealthy.Emotional:This one explains itself mostly. This is about how you feel on a consistent basis, how much control you have over your states, the reactions you take to your outcomes and circumstances and how you handle fear, your discipline/willpower and your emotional and psychological stability. It’s all about how centred you feel day to day and the heights you experience emotionally, limiting the lows that you experience.Spiritual:Spirituality is often a controversial topic due to varied religious beliefs or lack there of. This programme will not recommend or condemn any type of religious sect, group or faith.The purpose of spirituality and the function it serves is different for every individual; this area of your life is personal and highly individual. By spirituality being balanced you should look for feelings of serenity, faith in yourself, in others and in your own future. It’s about developing certainty that you will find the right things to do along the way. It’s also about your connection with your life’s purpose and who you are as well as with everything that exists. If you believe in God, Jesus, Allah, Buddha, Ganesh or the Greek gods, then it’s about your connection with them and the universe and others as a whole. Career:This one is easy to understand. I am sure you would have heard somewhere about the elusive work life balance that so many people talk about.This aspect is about how you feel about what you do. Whether you do what you want and love or just do it because you think you “have to” to earn an income is what you should analyse. Your career should be focussed not on what you or others believe is a “real job” or what you think is realistic, you need to evaluate if you are living out your purpose in this area just as much as in each other area. Are you secure? Do you have freedom? Do you make a living doing what you love, your ultimate passion and purpose? Basically you need to think, “what would I be doing as a career if I could do anything I want”? If you could invent the perfect career for you, what would it be and are you on your way to achieving it? Financial:This one is closely related to your career but not necessarily one and the same. Your finances are not only controlled by your career, you might have a career that totally fulfils you but doesn’t deliver the income that you need to fuel the lifestyle you desire.You can achieve life balance without being filthy rich but in this time of capitalism and such an emphasis on money and possessions, things have become harder to do without money. Real life balance needs adequate funds to have the freedom you desire. Do you have enough money to finance every experience and luxury you can imagine having? If not, are you on track, making progress? Are you developing secure cash flow? Is it happening at the rate that you want it to? All in all are you satisfied with how much money you’re making or about to make? Relationships:This one sounds pretty easy to understand but it refers to more than you may think. Relationships refer to your romantic and intimate relationships, your interactions with friends and colleagues, your relationship with your family and the overall way you interact with the world around you, with people, animals, your environment and everything you can possibly have an effect on or could have an effect on you.Are you giving and receiving the right messages? Are your interactions achieving the outcomes you want? Do you have an impact on people, your environment and everything else around you? Do your relationships fulfil the needs of both you and the people and things involved? True life balance and true fulfillment require that you master your relationships. That's relationships of every kind. If you can't then you will never have the quality of interactions required to gather the necessary resources. Fun and leisure:This is more like it, this is real life balance right? Bring on the fun times!Ok so maybe you’re an achiever, maybe you have a belief that says fun and leisure time is for the weak. Well let me tell you this, fun and leisure is just as important as the other areas, you can’t be 100% fulfilled if you’re not giving to yourself. Each and every one of us has a built in need to rest and do things we find pleasurable. This is different to each of us but it needs to be met in some way. Are you getting enough rest, relaxation and doing things that YOU want to do? Are you experiencing the adventure you desire? Are you having the experiences you really want to have? Do you feel relaxed and refuelled when you take time away from your work, your family and when you consciously give to yourself? If this area is not balanced then you will find it very hard to make a real difference to others and to the rest of the world. You won’t have the same impact if you don’t take a little time, energy and money and use it on your hobbies, vacations, experiences, “toys” and other things that help you to escape from the same old same old. Just like the Gloria Jeans slogan suggests, escape the daily grind. The art of Life Balance:It can sometimes become extremely frustrating when you work so hard and put so much into one aspect of your life such as career but then become let down by your health or maybe you put heaps into health, career, finances and spirituality but your relationships just don’t seem to work with friends, lover, family etc.I mean how can it be that you get everything aligned just to find that one area of your life is not working which then causes your emotions to unbalance which of course means that overall you are not happy? Isn’t it terrible? Most people believe that if they have heaps of money then they will be happy or maybe that if they have the career they want then they will be totally fulfilled. These people are living by the philosophy of ‘some day’, some day when I get my finances sorted out, some day when I find the love of my life etc. This philosophy never works out due to one major neglect and that neglect is balance. If you can’t balance out each aspect of your life then you will never really be fulfilled which in turn means that you will never reach your ultimate human potential. It can often seem impossible to achieve this balance and synergy; there just isn’t enough time. Well this is what this page is really all about, it’s about finding and making the time to achieve ultimate life balance in every single area of your life until each one accelerates each other aspect to reach multiple times more potential than you would without the synergy. By the way, that is one of the major goals of the Super Human Potential programme. It’s about creating leverage and not just making improvements but accelerating the rate that these improvements are made in a snowball effect, as you will soon discover in the section on progressive overload.
