Attempting Balance
This time will be different. That’s what I said. Different is not always better or easy. But I have used my time well trying to get the balance right. I made an important discovery -again. I am a speaker not a writer. I like doing my radio show and teleseminars more than I like blogging. They are easier and more fun for me.
Doing what I’m good at.
So here is what I have been doing. My next teleseminar is – “Know where you are going – do better planning!” It is Tuesday, May 4th at 8pm EST. This is an open Smart Office

Still Practicing
I’m still getting the hang of having success on multiple levels and not ignoring my health. In the last week, great things have been happening with both my businesses. I had my 4 grandchildren over to spend the night and go to the movies. I had my 38th Wedding Anniversary. And I had a really nice Easter with my parents and daughters. So that takes care of business and family.
What about health?
You could say that my mental health was energized by seeing my family, but my eating was a low priority. Well that‘s not completely true. I made a conscious effort to buy lots of healthy food to have in the house. I bought lots of salad, fruit, nuts, yogurt and lean meat. Probably the best thing that happened was I couldn’t get the big bag of M & M’s that I bought to share with my mother open. I decided it was a sign to give her the whole thing!
By planning good choices, my eating was better. What healthy choice will you make today? Let me know.
This time will be different
Whenever I start to experience success, I then start to focus on it with all my energy. When I am building my business, I tend to ignore my health. And visa versa. Right now a new joint venture, www.SmartOfficeStrategies.com and the speaking part of my business are taking of like gangbusters. And I don’t want to ignore my health.
I made 2 major shifts
In December, I come up with my “I AM ECStatic” Model. And I had a major shift. I am getting better and faster results! The reasons it works are a) It makes you feel good and b) It sets comprehensive and holistic goals. Then in March, I had another shift. I learned how to handle my fears and excuses. I didn’t eliminate them but I can give myself permission and the conditions I need to move forward. Taking just the first step is ok.

And so productive
I can’t believe how much I have gotten accomplished in the last 6 weeks. I have started a new business venture. Renewed 2 contracts. Gone international. Went to a speaker’s conference and a workshop. Actively continued the real estate hunt. Oh and I gained 7 lbs. Isn’t that always the way.
What happened?
I’ve clarified and acted on my strengths. I want to have a speaking career and help women. I’ve finally put together the right team. It is easier to move forward with support. I finally understand how fear makes you lie to yourself and use excuses. Which brings me back to the weight thing. All the goals I want to accomplish will be easier the healthier I am. More importantly, I will not let my fear of weight sabotage the attention I want to attract for speaking.

Maybe you are marinating
Between traveling and different time zones, my brain seems unresponsive. I just had an amazing 2 weeks of new experiences. So I have to ask myself, what is going on in my head? I think I’m marinating all these new ideas. I have to believe that some wonderful insights will be formed when finished.
What have I seen?
I met Tim Kelly of the permission and conditions idea. He generously gave me about 30 minutes of his time. I saw my son in a totally different setting. He gave me a 3 hr corrective massage. Last night I hear Gladys Knight and her choir sing at the Moron church. She was wonderful and talked about don’t believe everything people say. That God has a purpose for all of us. I don’t think I have had so much stimulation in such a short time. So the question remains, how do I put all these ideas and feelings to work? I’m still working on it.
Something good is coming I’m sure. What healthy choice will you make today? Let me know.

Permission & Conditions
I’ve don’t believe I have ever accomplished as much in 10 weeks as I have this year. Why now and not before? I’ve worked hard before. I really think it has to do with getting rid of excuses and getting clarification on how I was doing it.
The clarification
The new mindset has to do with giving myself permission to do things and setting limits to stay safe. I have always wanted to invest in rental property but felt like I didn’t have the money. Then I decided that if some unseen men could lose part of my 401K, so could I. At least I would know where the money went.

I’ve been in Austin, TX
I have been at a speaker’s conference for 3 days and my head hurts! I just wanted to warn you that over the next couple of days you would be getting some of the things I thought were important. Most of them will be questions and not answers. And I didn’t get to see the city except out of my window.
The first thing
I think the best thing was the women I met. It was fun to see the young and the not so young exchanging ideas and energy. It was interesting to hear where we had common ground. More exciting was the clarity they helped each other to reach. I discovered that my 4 classes are really connected and describe my journey. Getting out of your normal life can really open your eyes.
So try something different! What healthy choice have you made today? Let me know.
I have to stop saving the good stuff.
Years ago I bought an antique ironstone washbasin. I kept it safe until the kids grew up. One day I decided it was time to put it in a place of honor. In less than 24 hours, our new dog chased the cat and knocked it down. I couldn’t look when I heard the crash! I could have enjoyed it all those years.
I can’t believe it.
I just pulled out a pretty blue bowl from the back of my cabinet. The puppy ran in and knocked it out of my hand. It smashed to pieces. Luckily this bowl came from the Dollar Store, but the lesson was the same. I am reminded of why I am working at using my good things now. I have been wearing my “good” shoes & clothes for no good reason. I’ve been using the “good” dishes and silverware. The food does taste better. I am not saving myself for the future. I having the good adventures now.
What good stuff are you saving? What healthy choice will you make today? Let me know.

I can’t find it!
During the 1st or 2nd snowstorm, I saw part of a cable program on how we are living longer and need to live differently. I can’t find the author’s name or the program. He talked about how we are living well past 65 and need to re- invent how we live. Instead of 1 career, we may have 3 or more. I can’t get the phrase “The 3rd Half of your life” out of my mind!
So what did he say?
I want to know more. The old model is education, work and then retirement. The change is the need for faster and continuous education plus retirement, which are getting longer. He suggested that now the model is education, work and a break and then you do it again as many times as you like. So instead of having a long retirement, you have several breaks through out your life to enjoy your passion. This sounds like a fun way to live. Have you heard of this guy?
