Video Challenge – Day 11: The Meanings of Life Balance

(If you can’t see the video, click through to the post, or check out the YouTube video)

In this video, I look at how life balance can mean different things to different people, what I mean by the term, and why it matters.

If you’re not familiar with Chris Guillebeau and his remarkable work, I suggest you check out his Art of Non-Conformity site (and I’ll be reviewing his book soon).

So, what does life balance mean to YOU?

Video Challenge – Day 9: Your Thoughts on Life Balance

(If you can’t see the video, click through to the post, or check out the YouTube video)

This video sets the stage for discussing the Personal Growth Map and holistic growth through balanced living.

I ask 3 questions in the video, which I’d like you to think about:

1) What are the areas in personal growth do you most struggle with?

2) Do you believe that life balance is a good thing?

3) What’s preventing you from experiencing life balance?

Give these questions some thought, and I’d love to hear your answers! 😀

Video Challenge – Day 8: Degrees of Success

(If you can’t see the video, click through to the post, or check out the YouTube video)

While I’ve been talking a lot about the self-image, I thought I’d extend the discussion about personal transformation to some familiar territory: How we lose hope when we experience a setback.

The message in this video is extremely important for staying on course, without giving up on our goals when they’re not met (and in the timeline we’ve set for ourselves).

Hope you find the video beneficial, and let me know your thoughts about the video in the comments.

Video Challenge – Day 7: The Observer Effect

(If you can’t see the video, click through to the post, or check out the YouTube video)

If you’re on my mailing list, you may not have noticed that this video is a day late.

I had to take my daughter to the hospital last night, and waited a couple of hours for our turn to come up. I had the choice of shooting a video at midnight, or going to sleep to not disturb my sleeping pattern (I was already an hour passed my bed time).

I had a short discussion with my pillow about this. I don’t recall what either of us said, but I do know that no video was shot last night.

While I intended to shoot one video a day for 14 days as part of the video challenge, I thought it was more sensible to accept the circumstances of the day, rather than try and fight them, or adjust to them when there’s no real demand to do so.

But what I did realize is how important it is to get my videos done early in the day, so I don’t risk not getting them done, or staying late at night to finish them (which has happened a few times, when I didn’t realize how long the preparation will take).

I’m looking to shoot another video in the afternoon to compensate for the day I missed. 🙂

I continue to look forward to your feedback, especially if the content isn’t making much sense to you, or you feel that I’ve been missing out crucial bits of information.
