Working Towards Balance
Thu, 10/18/2007 - 13:49 — Kate
Lately I have been facilitating workshops on creating balance in your life. Sometimes I wonder who learns more -- the participants or me, the facilitator! The other day an executive director from one of the many Community Foundations across Canada shared with us that ever since he had polio at the age of 12 he has made sure that he gives himself one full hour every day to do what he wants to do. That intrigued me so I asked him when he likes to take that hour. His answer: "3:00 pm works best for me. I schedule it in my daytimer. "
"What if it doesn't work out at 3:00 pm?" I asked.
"Then I schedule it for another time that day, but I never miss a day."
The moral of the story: take care of yourself first and then you can help others.
