10 Principles to Achieving Balance

You'll never achieve total balance in your life. It's a fact so get over it. Now that you know that, here are 10 things for busy entrepreneurs to keep in mind that are most likely to lead you to a "more balanced" life. These are some things that I've learned over the years. I can't claim that they are my original thoughts but these are the principles that keep resurfacing. Embrace these and let these simple principles fill your life with a feeling of accomplishment.

1. Take time to reflect and meditate-- the answer comes from finding internal peace.
2. Assess your priorities-- are you doing what you want to be doing? what can you do to change that?
3. Keep a journal- you'll be amazed how things increase in clarity as you write them down.
4. Don't sweat it-- there are some things you can't control
5. You don't have to do it or know it all-- don't be afraid of what you don't know-- take action and fix things later.
6. It's easier to correct a course than to get something going-- how much effort does it take to stop a stopped car?
7. Eat healthy-- eat a bag of oreo's how does that feel?
8. Exercise-- your body was made for action. You are supposed to sweat. Getting the blood flowing changes everything.
9. Serve others-- thinking about others has transformative power.
10. Take small steps-- you won't get it all done today. What can you get done today? Write it down and do it.
