This Week's Tip - At the Heart of Life

At the heart of making the most of life today is the ability to treasure and protect your connections to what you care most about: people, places, activities, pets, a spiritual connection, a piece of music, even objects that are dear to you. But you must not have too many connections or none will flourish. Pick the ones that matter most to you and nourish them religiously; make that your top priority in life, and you can't go wrong.

Do You Juggle Too Many Balls?

I once interviewed a professional juggler. He told me the greatest number of balls he could juggle was six. The greatest anyone had ever juggled, as far as he knew, was eleven...I asked him if he was working to get to seven balls. He told me he was not because in order to get to seven he would have to give up several hours a day for at least six months, and he didn't have time to spare to do that. "I'm very good," he told me. "I put on a great show with six. No one has ever come up to me and told me they wish I had done seven. I can work many variations with six and make people's jaws drop. Six is enough. I don't need more."

Are you juggling more balls than you NEED to juggle? What do you give up if you are?

Are you burned out, frustrated, busy as hell...and ready to JUST NOT TAKE IT ANYMORE?!!

Today we are all CrazyBusy - we work 160 hours more per year than we did in 1960 (an extra MONTH of work each year!); we sleep less,and we have next to zero separation between personal and professional time. We are 48% more stressed than we were just five years ago according to a 2007 survey by the American Psychological Association. So the question is - what are you going to do about it?

Your feelings of intense frustration and overwhelm are very real. And it's NOT your fault. But that doesn't matter. What matters is that there are ways to develop strategies to lead a more manageable, enjoyable life.
