Scottsdale Health December 2019

Take it one step
at a time
In our impatient,
instant gratification
world, we need to
be willing to take it
slow on this one.
We can’t fix years of
bad habits overnight.
Focusing on one
small change and
building on that is a
great start.
If you find it
hard to make time
for yourself, start by
scheduling a small
task and seeing it
through. Need to
see your chiropractor?
If so, schedule
an appointment
right now and follow
through with it.
Once you allow
yourself to break free
the first time, you’ll
soon realize that life
as you know it went
on just fine while
you were at the
chiropractor’s office.
Now you have two
albatrosses off your
neck - the chiropractor
appointment, and
the belief that you
were a prisoner to
your job.
Use the buddy
system to divide
and conquer
Are those things you
need to get done
really weighing you
down? Chances
are, your coworkers
are feeling similar
personal challenges.
Divide and conquer
by partnering with
someone in your
office to cover you
while you run a
much needed errand,
and be willing to do
the same for them.
If you help each
other, you can still
get your work assignments
done while
taking care of those
energy-sucking tasks.
Prioritize your
non-work time
while at home
Leaving work at the
office can be very
freeing, reducing
your stress during
non-working hours.
However, if taking
work home is necessary,
be diligent
about when you
work. Make the
effort to actually
schedule your work
time at home. This
way, you can enjoy
dinner and bedtimestory
hour with your
family, without workrelated
distractions.
Never
underestimate
the value of time
No matter what anyone
tells you, time
is your most precious
commodity. No
one has ever been
on their deathbed
proclaiming, “I sure
wish I could have
worked more.”
Life happens,
including significant
life moments. If your
child has a concert
or recital or your
uncle is celebrating
a milestone birthday,
make the effort to
be there. Don’t miss
a moment of these
major events to
finish today’s workload.
Work will be
there long after your
important event has
passed.
You can’t
overestimate the
C
value of time. Treat
it like the precious M
natural resource it
Y
is, because once
it’s gone, it’s gone. CM
Be sure to prioritize
the most important
things in life. Book
that trip! Attend
the daddy-daughter
MY
CY
CMY
donut day! Only then
K
can you truly achieve
a true work-life balance.
