Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
We’ve been conditioned to say it in this order: mind, body, spirit. And that’s the order I write. So before writing Lane 8’s daily post, I write Midlife Celebration’s post, which focuses on our attitude mind. This means Lane 8 revolves around our body – diet, exercise, rest.
Then after writing Lane 8’s post, I write at jeffnoel.org – our emotional core – our spirit. In fact, if you click on Blog below, you’ll go directly to the emotional/spirit blog.

Bad habits unwittingly sabotage our odds for work life balance. We don’t develop bad habits on purpose. But what we accept by default becomes our standard, even if it has negative outcomes.

Balance is often wrongly measured in time spent doing different things. I propose it’s more about the energy spent, not time. For example, we can’t exercise anywhere close to the hours we work each day. But we can make sure that we are consistently exercising every week, 20-60 minutes each time. And by consistently, I mean 3-5 days a week. Every week. All year long. Year after year.

There is one key to balance and only one, no matter what any guru tells you. Here’s the crazy thing, most people completely disregard it. You don’t need a guru, or even me, to tell you how to achieve balance.
All you have to do is ask yourself a simple question, “Do I feel like there is a decent semblance of work life balance in my day to day life?”

What are you big life categories? Basically, I’m asking if you think there are more or less than the five, or if any of the five and be combined.
