For the spiritual aspect of your life, begin by thinking about what “spiritual” means to you and then follow that line of thinking. Some examples may include:

1. Read the Bible for 15 minutes per day
2. Read a daily devotion or affirmation
3. Spend time alone meditating
4. Seek out a new book on spirituality
5. Visit a church, temple, synagogue
6. Create a space for yourself, with books that inspire your spirit & things you enjoy looking at

In paying attention to the physical aspect, think outside the norm here. Joining a gym is probably high on the mental list of most people, but it is not necessarily the answer. What needs attention, physically, for you? Here are a few tips for this area of your life:

1. Get a pedometer, try to get your steps up to 10,000 per day.
2. Go for a walk after dinner.
3. Take a class – yoga, salsa, aerobic, line dancing
4. Research and begin a multivitamin regimen
5. Get a physical exam.
6. Wake up 15 minutes earlier and do stretches each day

The examples I have offered are just to begin to fuel your mind as to the different ways you can choose to create more life balance. I recommend creating a page in a notebook for each of the seven areas and then brainstorming what you would like to do. After that choose one or two to start with and try it for 30 days.
