1.  Keep a journal that includes a review of your day and your feelings.

2.  Reach out to others and ask for more support than usual–let family and friends know how to help you.

3.  Use time management skills wisely–set realistic priorities and delegate whenever possible.

4.  Make a list of ways you can simplify your life and do it.

5.  Slow down; take a temporary time out.

6.  Think of this time as an adventure–an opportunity to design the life you want.

7.  Create some new habits that regularly nurture your mind, body and spirit.

8.  Make a list of things you are tolerating right now and develop a plan to reduce or eliminate them.

9.  Make a list of everything that’s missing from your life–things that would lead to fulfillment and balance and develop a plan to GO FOR IT!

10.  If you need additional  support, accountability, perspective or direction, consider hiring a coach to help.
