Evaluate Your Life

October 19th is National Evaluate Your Life day and, as the name implies, is the perfect time to free up some time, sit down with a coffee (or tea, if you prefer) and think about where you are in life, the progress we have made and the path we are on.

During this time, we may feel that we would like to actually make some changes or we may not be satisfied with where we are. Better yet, we may actually find that we are making much progress. However, it is likely that we are somewhere in between.

Whatever it is, we should never punish ourselves if we have not made full progress because it is understandable that we are only human and we all get a little lost sometimes.

Do you have any balance in life? Are you able to juggle family time, work and alone time?

So what is it we need to really evaluate?

Why not start with your goals in life. Have you managed to at least fulfill some of it? If not, what are your plans to finally fulfilling all your goals?

Next you can look into evaluating your wardrobe (you may think this is unnecessary but how you carry yourself says a lot about you), your finances and maybe job performance?

Take some time out of your busy every day schedule, pause and reflect. What are you unhappy with and what are you proud of? Without taking time out to evaluate things, how are you going to have the life you wish to have? If you don’t put in the effort, it would be impossible to make the changes you need to make.

Most importantly, we need to evaluate our health. Without health, we have nothing.

So access your lifestyle, your activities and diet. Exercising can make huge improvements to your overall health.

Basically, we need to know we are no super human. We have to be realistic and know that everything takes time.

Above everything else, be thankful and remember there are lots in our life, too, that is going well and good.
