My life is in balance.
By prioritizing, I create my own pyramid of responsibilities.
My priorities are my guidelines for how I spend my time, energy and money.
In order to stay balanced, I do not over indulge in any one area.
I set limits for myself so that I can stay healthy.
Balancing my responsibilities is my exercise.
When I stay the course, I burn off the excess weight of busywork or distractions.
My life feels more fulfilling when I replace busywork with meaningful tasks.
I remove anxiety from my diet and replace it with careful planning.
I balance my duties by filling out my planner.
If I see that I have too many tasks on one day, I stop adding responsibilities for that date.
Sometimes I have to say “no” to some things. Other times I simply have to say “not now.”
If I tried to do it all and neglected to limit my activities, I would burn myself out and experience negative stress.
My expectations are fair. If others place unrealistic expectations on me, I work hard, but I replace them with realistic ones.
I take on reasonable challenges.
I am encouraged when I exceed my expectations.
If I set my expectations too high and then I miss, I would be stressed and discouraged.
A moderate amount of stress is good for me, but when I feel myself getting buried under pressure, I know it’s time to re-evaluate my diet.
I am careful not to crush myself under pressure in the name of challenging myself.
There is a difference between taking on a challenge and simply taking on too much.
When I melt away negative stress I fit into my clothes of cheerfulness and peace of mind.
