Just a thought ...

When I began to notice that I was trying to balance classes, work and trying to run a mentoring program take a serious toll on my body, I decided to do something about it. Since I love everything all of my extra curricular activities and school is definitely a top priority, I did not want to let anything go.
At the women's leadership workshop that was sponsored by the YWCA and Career Services in March, I bought a copy of Valerie Burton's book "How Did I Get So Busy." This book has a lot to so with the new aura of calm that is now hovering over me.
Burton focuses on, not eliminating activities from an individual's life, but coming to the realization of what a person need to do for themselves, as opposed to the things they want to do to please other people.
This life-altering book contains several exercises for the reader to complete to help them visualize just how cluttered their life is of unnecessary tasks. Once I wrote down my day-to-day routine on paper, I noticed just how much extra time I could have if I simply rearranged a few thing, not cut them out completely.
"How Did I Get So Busy" can be purchased at any Barnes & Noble for around $12.95, and most large bookstores around the country. For more information on life-strategist Valerie Burton, visit http://www.valerieburton.com.
