4 Habits To Achieving Success Through A Balanced Lifestyle

4 Habits You Need to Adopt to Achieve Balance

Admit it. Someone has said you need more balance in your life. You’ve heard ‘you work too hard,’ more times than you care to remember and it’s become as easy to ignore as your lunch break.

Truth is, balance is a necessity. The best bit? The truth doesn’t have to hurt.

Here are 4 habits you need to adopt to help you achieve success through a balanced life:

 

1. Taking a lunch break

Probably the easiest to avoid for the hard worker, taking a break has seemingly become synonymous with lack of dedication. It isn’t. Too many of us are skipping lunch in favour of dining al-desko, despite tons of evidence suggesting a break is good for you.

Putting aside the fact it avoids a crumb-laced keyboard, escaping your desk improves your productivity. You’ll be far more susceptible to procrastination if you stay glued to a monitor all day, so if you really can’t afford to take an hour, take 20 minutes.

Over half of the successful women surveyed in Eventa’s study fit a lunchbreak into their daily routine, so there’s no need to feel guilty for doing the same.

2. Watching television

We can’t advocate hours spent spaced-out in front of the box, but the way we watch TV has changed; making it a healthier – and easier – habit to fit around a busy lifestyle.

Television has been blamed for obesity and laziness, but the miracle of catch-up TV now means we are not slaves to the screen. We no longer have to commit to a specific time, for a specific period; it’s easy to fit small chunks of entertainment – thanks to Netflix and Sky+ – around your schedule.

Evidence has also emerged watching a crime drama is good for your brain as it challenges audiences to keep up with complicated storylines and aids memory by encouraging you to remember cliff-hanger endings from the episode before.

With shows like The Following, True Detective and The Killing all proving popular at the moment, it’s as good an excuse as any to take time out in front of the television.

 

3. Booking a holiday

Reportedly, 40% of Americans aren’t planning on taking all of their allocated holiday. More concerning, is their reasoning is often fear of being replaced. A holiday is your legal right.

Holidays are necessary for recovery. When you relax, your brain focuses on embedding skills you’ve already learnt. So lying on the beach could be an effective way of understanding that new process you were struggling with in the office last week.

Day dreaming is great for creativity and problem solving too. Since the typical hard worker isn’t likely to be doing this often, a relaxing holiday, full of new cultures and cuisines, will provoke fresh ideas.

“Don’t confuse having a career with having a life” – Hillary Clinton

4. Starting a hobby

Picking up a new hobby is a great way to inject something enjoyable into your life and give you a break from work.

The routine of committing to a regular task or attending weekly classes aids time management skills. Depending on the hobby, you’ll also meet new, likeminded people, or have the chance to spend more time with friends wanting to join in.

If it’s exercise related, the added health benefits can’t be ignored, and most hobbies are excellent for stress relief . By focusing on this, your mind gets time to enjoy something new.

Still adamant you can’t commit hours a week to a hobby? Start with half an hour every few days – we know you can find this somewhere – before building it up.

 

Next time you’re stopping yourself taking on something new or enjoying a break, because you think it’ll impact your likelihood to achieve, think again. Success is all about balance!

How to Break the Cycles of Mediocrity and Manifest Your Greatness

There is no greatness without becoming and there is no becoming with authenticity

Published

In just a few weeks, we will be wrapping up 2023. Can you believe it? This year has been absolutely incredible for me.

I have seen amazing doors opened, new relationships formed and I am seeing dreams realized in my life. While this seems like the hallmarks of a great year, this has also been the most challenging year of my life. With all of the change happening in my life, I have been forced out of my comfort zone and challenged to grow in every area of my life.

I can truly say that I have made the most of my moments this year and I have used everything as a catalyst for maximizing my greatest potential.

As a revolutionary leader, I have the pleasure of consulting and advising leaders around the world to fulfill purpose, realize their greatest potential and make an impact.

I want to share some insights with you that will help you to break cycles of mediocrity and manifest your greatness

Everything legal must come through the matrix

I am sure that some of you are wondering why I am using the term matrix. However, what you have to understand is that I am trying to make a highly complex spiritual principle practical to understand.

Regardless of your spiritual beliefs, every life has an origin and I believe that origin is divine and begins with eternity. You are birthed from eternity and into time to fulfill a unique purpose and assignment in your lifetime and generation.

The matrix is simply the portal or vehicle that brings something out of the invisible realm and into tangible form. The problem with much of the teaching today is that it excludes the matrix. We are told to believe that success is instantaneous and overnight.

Nobody talks about how a dream progresses through stages beginning with visualization and ultimately culminating in manifestation. Without a matrix or portal then everything that you attempt to birth and build will be illegal.

The matrix not only makes you legal but it gives you the authority and power to function as the greatest expression of who you were created to be. 

Every matrix has an incubation process

While many people admire and respect me today, I remember a time when nobody knew who I was or the significance of my message. How did I get to where I am today? I got here through an incubation process.

In other words, everything that has been destined for your life is incubating and awaiting a set time of manifestation. The problem is that most people live their entire lives idle and never initiate the incubation process.

What do I meany by that? Most people are living reckless and very few people are living intentionally. I am amazed at the number of people I have conversations with that have no vision, goals or strategies for their lives. They show great promise and they have undeniable potential.

However, without development they will die with their dreams still in them.

Everything that has been destined for your life must be incubated and converted to become realities born to time. 

“Visualize this thing that you want, see it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blueprint and begin to build.” – Robert Collier

You must give expression to that which is not yet born to time

When you think about a matrix or a prophetic incubation process, you have to understand that potential is often unrealized and untapped. In other words, your potential is in raw form and your potential cannot serve you as long as it is untapped.

The thing that makes me valuable is that I have the ability to convert potential into power. I have done it in my own life and I have empowered leaders around the world to do the same. How do you convert potential into power?

First, it is important to note that you have to perceive potential. If you cannot perceive your potential then you can never cultivate your potential. In addition, you must take the time to cultivate your potential. We often get excited about our capabilities; however, we never expand our capacity in order to realize our greatest potential.

In other words, the strength of your potential is only discovered through your willingness to stretch. The more we are challenged the more we are empowered to expand our capacity for greatness. Most of all, you must begin to express your potential. The expression of potential is different for every person.

For example, the expression of my potential is best demonstrated through the thoughts, ideas, products, services, books, etc.

For another person the expression of potential may look like a screenplay, artwork, sports, scientific discoveries, medical breakthroughs, etc.

Regardless of the form of expression, I know that you will live empty and unfulfilled until you make the decision to express your potential. The expression of your potential gives voice to your dreams, life to your vision, significance to your moments and activates your true power.

You must manifest your greatness

As a revolutionary thinker and leader, my work has impacted people around the world. I am grateful that my life is a source of empowerment to so many people. However, before anyone could ever benefit from my life, I had to make a non-negotiable decision to become who I was born to be.

I wish I could tell you that this journey is easy and that you will get there overnight. However, in a world that celebrates us for doing we are often criticized for being. As a result, I wasted a lot of time trying to be who other people wanted me to be instead of being who I was born to be.

There is no greatness without becoming and there is no becoming with authenticity. It is through our bravery to be vulnerable that we ultimately manifest our greatness. We do not bless the world by being a duplicate. We bless the world when we honor our difference. When you honor your difference you honor your potential.

Ultimately, your difference is how you manifest your greatness.

When you present anything but your authentic self to the world, you are playing small and you are robbing the world of your significance. Manifesting your greatness requires you to master your gifts.

Let’s be honest, we’ve all crossed paths with a toxic leader in our careers at some point. Unfortunately, while some toxic leaders don’t even bother to hide their behaviour, some know very well how to conceal their true selves behind a strong-built facade. The latter is the most dangerous of the two. (more…)
