Daily routine tasks, work and responsibilities can be encompassed within all four quadrants of JustLive’s Life Enrichment Matrix©:
Our daily routine tasks, work and responsibilities are found and applied in each quadrant of our life.
Mentally we have to keep a sound mind and fill our minds with positivity, keep it stimulated with motivational media and feed our brain sufficiently.
In our relationships we come across many things we need to do to maintain good relationships with friends, colleagues and our loved ones such as our partners, spouses, children and siblings. We need to fill our relations emotional banks with positive funds so that we can reap the returns. Relational responsibilities are of great essence to maintaining our close support groups.
In our spiritual and emotional dimension it is important that we sustain a good healthy spirit, mind, soul and body. During the planning of our routine tasks and schedules, investing into our spiritual and emotional dimension is of utmost importance to staying healthy in our emotions.
Our tasks and responsibilities are ever so prominent in our physical and nutritional quadrant, as we have a responsibility of purchasing healthy foods and eating healthy diets as well as exercising sufficiently for our brain and body to work optimally.
Attending to our financial and career dimension is part of our daily routines, and many times some tasks are required there, such as setting up and keeping to the schedule of a monthly payment plan (budget). Taking our financial responsibility seriously by working at our careers continuously and contributing to our skills, education and further training is of great essence to a healthy, happy working environment.
When you are feeling low, down and depressed with no vigor to take on your daily tasks never-mind taking on life, here are some considerations to assist your low demeanor and poor mindset so that you can take on the responsibilities of the day successfully and effectively:-
Embrace the worth you add to life - Look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself that yόú love you!
Make a positive declaration - that something good is going to happen to you today.
Eat healthy and exercise – even if you just take a short brisk walk, after doing this the hormones excreted will contribute to uplifting your mindset.
As we are building a positive mindset here – realize your mind can be your worst enemy! You ‘trail’ thought after thought, therefor it is your decision and choice, and therefor it will also be your choice to see the situation you find yourself in as a problem or a challenge. Whichever one you will choose will produce some or other emotion and thought. Decide today to learn from your challenge, rather see it as an opportunity than a problem and create a new positive mindset with positive feelings.
Changing your outlook, can restructure the picture of your circumstance - what you look like outwardly will reflect what you feel like internally. Therefor dress up nicely, practice good personal-hygiene and make yourself look like a million dollars, even if you are going to stay at home. Always dress “inter-viewable.” Ensure that your environment (outwardly) is ordered, neat and clean, it will support your inner world. Also clean your mind and heart of clutter by forgiving, letting go of bitterness and resentment – having an orderly clean heart and mind will ensure that you experience joy and fulfillment and attain vigor for facing the day, no matter what your actual circumstances are. When you change yourself, the perspective of your circumstance changes!
Perseverance at doing it better – growing exerts pain - every day is a new day, a new self, a new opportunity to do it different and try again!
“Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when
they gave up” Thomas Edison. Take on the opportunity to learn from yesterdays challenges
and make a decision to think differently about it - and do it different!
Do not give up, doing the right thing, the right way over and over again is what is going to
bring success. The weaver finch tries over and over again at perfecting the nest he builds, he
tears it down and starts over again, multiple times….he perseveres and does not give up at
workmanship that was already perfect.
7. Develop a mindset of a victor – not a victim – you are the sum of your choices and decisions
pertaining to your current situation.
Victors take on responsibility, they acknowledge it, make choices, embrace the power they
have and live in freedom.
Victims don’t take responsibility, blame others, justify why they are depressed, deny their part
in it, and quit quickly.
Explore and embrace options – when you have multiple possibilities and opportunities you
feel that you are taking control!
Take personal responsibility for your own thoughts and behaviors, since you CAN get out of
your tough times. You are responsible for your mentality and demeanor, take charge of it and
what you must do - to experience joy and fulfillment!
After exploring that which influences and affects our demeanor and how it affects the manner in which daily routine tasks, work and responsibilities are performed and approached, our next article considers how to attend to these tasks effectively and wisely.
