Keep your containers topped up!

A friend has given me a brilliant bit of advice. You must allocate 7 containers to the important aspects of our lives; spirituality (yourself!), friends, work, partner, family, money etc and whatever else is important to you. You must always make sure that each of your containers gets some attention so one never runs on empty and another is never filled to the exclusion of everything else. I really like it and it help me balance my life and i never feel guilty about doing things for me as i am simply filling my containers - let me know if you have used this or if you think it might help you achieve balance in your life?
The more you think about this one the more sense it makes! OK balance and moderation aren't new ideas but its all too easy to get pulled in one direction and neglect other parts of your life. This is a lovely visual which helps you sort of MOT your life :-)
That sounds like a fab idea! I tend to put too much emphasis on my current squeeze and my social life. The squeeze bit's always going wrong and the social life leaves me skint. Just joined Meetup tho' and am getting involved in lots of different things that don't cost a lot. Containers tho' - I like that.
Love this idea, will put it into action and see where it takes me - thanks for the tip
