The Right Life Balance

Find out how well you have achieved the inbalance between life’s many activities that is perfect for you right now

How good are you at balancing various aspects of your life? Since everything is not equally important in life, it is crucial to have the right balance for you at this point in time. Part of achieving the right balance is knowing your values and priorities so you can allocate more time to those areas when time is limited.

People often looking at work/life balance as having an equal balance between the two. They view it as a balanced scale. This conception of balance is not the best because it does not take into account an individual’s current goals and priorities which can change over time. This assessment provides a comprehensive look at finding a balance between work, family, friends, activities, exercise, and time alone. It takes into account what is the right balance for you at this point in time. The results will give you an indication of how well you have currently achieved the balance that is right for you right now.

Please complete all items. Rate each item on a scale of 1-5. Please choose one number and do not write a decimal, such as 3.5. Select the answer that best represents your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors regarding your desirable balance. Choose how true each statement is for you.

I often find that I am focusing a lot more of my time and energy on one aspect of my life than I would like to be.

Stress Articles And Stress Tips

Here at the stress relief toolkit we like to think of the zest for life as more than a newsletter and more like a series of stress articles and stress techniques that when used can begin to wake you up to your true possibilities and potential. Now I know that’s a huge boast for something that’s for free, but ask yourself what have you got to lose, and more importantly what could you gain?
