ORGANIZING TIPS FOR WORKING WOMEN: The Power of the PAUSE

Being a working woman today is tough. The daily grind never stops, and most of the time, life balance is not even an option. What, are you kidding?

And what’s more, you are expected to have some semblance of a family and personal life in the limited glimpses of time between work days.

Can it be done? It depends on whether you are ready and willing to make some changes in your life. Successful change can only happen if you are ready and willing – and that goes with any type of change that you want to make.

So what’s the secret to finding life balance?

The PAUSE that Refreshes

You have to pause long enough to realize that you are in a cycle that you want to break. You have to actually stop and look at where you are and how you got there. Sometimes this happens without a choice on your part. Your body shuts down and you wake up one day ready to chuck it all, wondering how you ever got to this point. Ever happen to you?

To avoid this, you must pause. It is not complicated; in fact, it’s rather basic. You need to take an inventory of what you have in your life by looking at how your typical day evolves. Probe into some areas of your life that may be contributing to your downward spiral. Here are some great places to start that inventory:

• Examine the flow of your day.

I'm sure you have heard of The Secret, by Rhonda Byrne. It is a hit movie on DVD, a best selling book and audio book. It is based on the premise that the secret to success is the Law of Attraction. Basically, if you focus on what you want and set the intention to get it, eventually the universe will make it happen for you.

Although I really enjoyed the DVD, the book and the audio, yes I have all three and I highly recommend them, I think it falls a little short of the mark. You see, I have been telling people for years that "success is based on persistency and consistency, not magic." In other words, I agree 100% that what you focus on expands. So you must focus on what you want, not what you don't want. Then you must set the intention to have it. But without taking purposeful action toward the achievement of your new goal you are simply just dreaming.

Have you ever wondered why there are so many people that are not successful, not happy with their lives or want more from life? You would think that with so many new books on self help and the topic of success that come out every day, that most people would be successful and happy.

One problem is that believe it or not, 80% of non fiction books do not get read. Many people buy them but very few read them completely. It's as though some people think that by simply owning the book they benefit from its content. If that is you, don’t worry, you’re not alone. But that being said, if you would like to start changing your life and your level of success, you need to actually do something about it.
