It's hard to practice self-care when you're giving so much of yourself through your reslife position. This presentation teaches ways for you to Treat Yo'self better and gain new methods of self care.

1. Two Main Actions
that Lead to a Balanced Life
Achieving an integrated, balanced life can result from two actions. The first
action is understanding and respecting each and every important aspect of
your life. Changing your perspective in areas where you are stuck is the
second.
This exercise will help you reflect on your work-life balance so you can re-
align various areas of your life to achieve more peace, harmony, health, and
happiness.
Here's an exercise I encourage you to try....
1. Draw a large circle on a piece of paper and divide it into 8-10 pie
wedges.
2. Label each section with an area of your life that is important to you.
Examples include family, friends, health, work, recreation, money,
personal growth, spirituality, romance, physical surroundings and more.
3. Rate your satisfaction in each area of your life. Think of the circle's outer
edge as total satisfaction and the center of the circle as total
dissatisfaction. In each wedge of the pie, place a small dot to indicate
your relative satisfaction in that area of your life. (For example, if you
are just moderately satisfied, place your dot in the middle between the
center and the edge.
4. After rating your satisfaction in each pie wedge, connect the dots to
create a new outside perimeter for your circle. If you were to roll your
circle like a wheel would it roll smoothly or be bumpy?
5. To have a balanced life, tend to the areas where the greatest gaps exist.
The key is not to focus on each individual area of your life but to focus
on your life as a whole. (Changing your perspective of your life is
another important tool to gain balance in life.)
