Step Two. Identify the Distortions
Many times your thinking is really a distortion of reality. When you say, “I never have enough time” it feels 100% true, but the reality could be that you do have time and it’s just not being managed well. Other distortions include, overgeneralization, discounting the positives, jumping to conclusions and magnifying or minimizing a situation.

Do you know that Domain names are the first considerations when thought is given to having virtual representations online by an organization, firm or individual? This is because you need a Domain name to be identified with on the World Wide Web.During the dotcom era, the craze was to buy and hold onto fancy domain names waiting for interested organizations, firms and individuals to negotiate high purchase prices for such parked domains. Some
“What you say becomes your reality.”Now, she didn’t say exactly that, so let me tell you how it happened...
All week I was feeling extremely sluggish, probably because I just started a new workout plan that has me at the gym at 5 o’clock in the morning. I must have been complaining a lot (“I’m so-o-o-o-o-o tired.”) because at one point my daughter stopped me and said, “Gosh Mom, you’re always tired.”
From that point on, I became very aware of how often I said, or wanted to say, “I’m so-o-o-o-o-o tired.” It was embarrassing! I’d allowed my entire week to be consumed by this feeling, which had become a habit, of being tired. I couldn’t help but wonder how my week might have improved had I focused my words in a more positive manner.
And that’s the lesson. Your words have tremendous power over you. To the point that how you feel will typically be a reflection of the words you habitually use. This is because you have a unique ability to bring what you imagine, or say, into reality. So, if you are constantly focused on the negative aspects of your work/life, then your reality will be negative. Do any of these statements sound familiar?
“I never have enough time.”I’ve personally spoken these words many times and then wondered why I was so desperately stuck in a place of total work/life imbalance. Without much thought you probably speak these negative words into your work/life every day too and feel just as stuck as I did. You can get un-stuck through a simple three-step process I’ve adapted from ‘The Feeling Good Handbook’ by David Burns, M.D.:“I’m too busy!”
“I can’t have a flexible work schedule with my job.”
Step One. Become Aware of Your Automatic Thoughts
In the next 24-48 hours I want you to carry a small notepad every where you go. Begin to record the words that you seem to be repeating over and over again, whether you say it out loud or just think it. Record every automatic thought.

Many people insist that there are jobs Americans will not do. Indeed, this is factual and yet if they paid me $200.00 to pick apples per hour, I bet I might get some exercise and go lose some weight. The issues will illegal immigration and outsourcing are indeed economic in nature.We often complain about both and yet if you do not outsource you need to bring people in who can do these jobs. If you do not allow illegal immigration then you ne

Diabetes has turned into an epidemic. It is time to wake up and smell the coffee! Do you know about one fourth of America is gripped by diabetes or syndrome X (pre-diabetes)? Moreover, the worst thing is that nine out of ten type 2 diabetes patients have not been able to control their blood sugar levels even after taking medications! Diabetes is a tricky disease. In the first two years of the disease, you will not find any symptoms.

Are you thinking correctly about eBay?Do you trust your intuition? Let's do a small test. Take a piece of paper (imagine it to be a large piece of newspaper) and fold it in half 50 times about how tall would the folded paper be?I'll give you the answer in a moment, but unless you've seen this example before you will probably be very surprised by the answer. It's a test of your intuition - and proof that you can be VERY wrong when try

Step Three. Develop a Rational Response
Substitute your automatic thought with a rational response. For example, you may shift from saying, “My life is so overwhelming” to “I’ve got a lot on my plate and I’m going to ask for some help.” Now, it’s important to notice that I’m asking you to “respond,” not “react;” it’s an essential piece of this process. Many working moms end up using reaction-driven words, rather than response-driven ones, simply because of the pressure to get things done. The key is to pause, become aware of your thoughts and notice any distortions you’ve created.
Creating harmony in your work/life is possible when you reframe the words you use in a way that creates the reality you want. So start practicing this three-step process today and before long your work/life will be exactly how you say it is.
