I'm constantly coming up with different ways to break our lives into areas so we can have a clear overview of what to pay attention to. It may not be all encompassing, but I think it captures most of the important parts of our lives. It may need to be rejigged for different people, but I've created 13 different areas.
I've then decided to break the different blog labels into these 13 different areas. At least for the moment. Who knows, I might rejig it once a better system is made clear to me!
The 13 areas in no real order are:
- Physical Health - diet, exercise, hydration, vitamins, checkups
- Emotional Health - stress, meditation, sleep, emotions, self confidence
- Self Care - beauty regimes, hair, makeup, style, fashion
- Relationships: Partner - love, dating
- Relationships: Family - parents, siblings, extended family, traditions
- Relationships: Friends - BFFs, socialising
- Finance - budgeting, savings, investments, spendings, net worth
- Professional - entrepreneur, path, career
- Giving - volunteering, donating
- Spiritual - gratitude, rituals, the universe/source/god
- Surroundings - home, car, clutter
- Interest & Activities - hobbies, travel, reading, crafting
- Personal Development - books, habits, courses, creating confidence
Out of this, I've created a 1 A4 page that summarises what I want to do in each of these areas for 2011. I put a picture of myself on the page as well to envision myself doing it. Then I print it out and put it on the wall above my desk as well as in my organiser that I refer to all the time. Look at it everyday to ensure you're staying on track and that all your actions are bringing you somehow closer to them.
I've posted this below - sorry the formatting is all squiff!!:
