#xa0; The Life Balance Equation Process

Though no one can go back and make a brand-new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand-new ending.

IT IS THE THESIS OF THIS BOOK that no matter what your Life Balance equation is —and this chapter will help you discover it and, possibly, how you feel about it —you have the ability to change that equation to something which is more likely to provide you with the results you want to have in your life. This thesis, however, begins with the requirement that you know what your Life Balance equation actually is and where you stand with respect to its effectiveness for you and for your goals.

If you know where you want to go, you need to know where you are or you can ’t get there! If you were to call me up to ask directions to my house, the first and most important question I need answered before I give you any directions is this; From where will you be starting your journey?

I am a strong believer in the importance and power of process. As quality expert W, Edwards Deming said, “If you can ’t describe what you are doing as a process, you don ’t know what you ’re doing. ” The three-exercise process in this chapter is designed to, first, determine from what point you are starting your journey ( Your Present Life Balance Equation ) and then, second, where it is ideally you would like to go ( A Future Life Balance Equation ), The third and final exercise is the development of a set of steps ( Your Five-Step Plan for Better Life Balance ) to get you from, one Life Balance equation to the other, similar to the set of directions 1 might give you to get you from your present location to my home if you were coming over for a visit.

Unlike our house-to-house directions analogy, however, you will not be attempting to make this journey all in a single step or even in a series of steps that have been determined up front and that are then simply executed. Remember that your Life Balance equation is a system, and as such, every time you make a change anywhere in the system, it affects something somewhere else in the system. It would be foolhardy to attempt to change everything at once —if it were even possible, which it is not.

Instead, this process is designed to allow you to make adjustments in your Life Balance equation in incremental steps. To ensure that you experience the full power of this approach, you will start with the one change that you believe will make the most difference in your Life Balance equation. The awareness and effort necessary to replace a “small ” existing habit which is causing you some difficulty with a newly created habit are exactly the same as that necessary to replace a “large ” existing habit which is causing you a great deal of difficulty.
