Start balancing your act. Evaluate what you have to do and see how you can be more efficient and happy. You can begin by following some basic rules such as: de-cluttering, grouping your errands, eliminating toxicity, moving your body, and adding fun to your life. And soon you will be leading a more balanced life.

Have you ever encountered someone whose toxicity contaminated your workplace? If you haven't, consider yourself fortunate. If we work in an environment which depletes us, we end up paying the price. How valuable is your piece of mind, positive relationships and life satisfaction?

We all know change is inevitable and even though we may not like it, accept that it is part of life. How we cope and manage transitions contributes to our well being and ability to progress in life.

Leadership is defined as the capacity or ability to guide others to accomplish an objective. To provide leadership, one needs to be a leader. What qualities do you believe are required by a good leader and how does one become a leader? Although some people have natural leadership skills, good leaders are made not born.

At some point in our lives most of us will be working for someone else, so it is important to fully understand what makes our boss tick and how best to interact and influence him or her. How much attention have you given to your boss's personality style? How does she function? What seems to agitate or please her? If we have a difficult boss we focus on what drives us crazy.

We hear a lot about time management and how we need to organize ourselves and manage our time more effectively. In order to regulate our time, new ways of thinking and being need to be developed. We need to develop self management strategies. When we manage ourselves better we tend to be less overwhelmed, more productive and happier.
