4 Ways To Prioritize, Balance, And Improve Your Well-Being

In today’s society, there is finally a focus on taking care of yourself.  However, there’s usually a problem that most people don’t talk about. 

 How in the world do you do all the things that improve your life without losing track of time? 

What are the most impactful things to do with your time?

How do you even begin to change your perspectives?

That’s why it is important to learn how to prioritize and balance your life to improve your overall well-being.

Use Time-Blocking

One of the up-and-coming techniques that help people be more productive and organized is time-blocking.  This is a way that you can designate parts of your day to specific types of work or specific activities.

One way to think of time-blocking is like going to a class.  Each class, no matter what, is dedicated to that specific subject.  Nothing else is addressed and all work is completed in that time if possible.  That is essentially what you are doing when you organize your time this way.

It can be a bit of an adjustment when you first start because one of the biggest hurdles is staying accountable to your timetable.  There are several applications that can help with this as well as planners and more that can make time-blocking easier.  

Let Go of Perfection

One of the most toxic issues that people deal with is perfection.  This ideal can completely throw off any understanding of balance, improvement, and prioritization. 

Why? 

Well, if one thing goes wrong then the process or what you are doing is no longer perfect.

Perfection is essentially an illusion that people strive for on a regular basis.  To let go of this ideal it is important to understand how your mind perceives perfection.  

Once you understand what your perfection is, ask yourself this: what happens if I don’t hit that level of perfection?

Odds are, nothing too terrible.

What happens if, instead, you meet your goal in ways that feed you and help you grow instead of reaching for impossible perfection? That sounds like a much more balanced and healthy way to accomplish goals and work through life.  What do you think?

Spend Time Doing What Feeds Your Soul

I can guarantee you that if you spend time every day doing what feeds your soul, you will see an immediate improvement in your life.  But that statement can mean a lot of things.  How do you even balance in that time, and what do you choose?

First, dedicate a time-block to yourself.  I’ve often heard it said that it doesn’t matter if it is five minutes or 50 that you get, keep that time for yourself.  Once you have found that time, stay regular and do something that you enjoy,  

Here’s the bonus, it doesn’t matter what it is.  Feed your soul through activities, spiritual practices, hobbies, whatever!  That’s the beauty of it: what feeds you is different from someone else so there’s no way you can do this wrong.  

Take Care of Your Health

Yet another big hurdle in making sure your life is balanced is taking care of your health.  If you aren’t taking care of your health, then are you truly taking care of yourself and improving your well-being?

If you haven’t guessed, the answer is no.  Your health is something that is incredibly important and just like the other ways to take care of yourself in this post, there’s no wrong way to do it.  

From using herbs and natural remedies to modern medicine, there are many ways to take care of yourself.  Some of the most important deal with daily habits like drinking enough water, getting sunlight, and stretching out your body.  Those are daily activities that are going to really help your health.

Other than that, make sure that you are working with an experienced doctor who listens to you and ensures that your health is well taken care of.  Don’t forget that your health isn’t something to be obsessed over, that removes the balance that you are trying to achieve! 

Take a deep breath, get solid rest, and know that your health is important!
