Life Balance Retreat
An opportunity to refocus, rebalance, and realign life values.
Workshop outline
There is a new approach to the old balanced lifestyle conundrum. Rather than focusing on managing time, this new approach claims that it is more effective to manage energy. By managing energy effectively there can be a greater focus on achieving goals successfully through directed attention and 'full engagement'. Research now shows that athletes who successfully alternate periods of high pressure training with focused rest and recovery achieve the greatest results, and likewise individuals from all walks of life can learn to 'find a rhythm' and achieve maximum performance and satisfaction in life and work through applying these principles.
This unique workshop is designed to help refocus, rebalance. and realign life values, the sessions are designed to provide the master tools needed to tune up and to get into shape mentally, physically and emotionally. Information about the latest psychological and physiological research is combined with simple practical exercises, targeted group discussions and focused relaxation opportunities.
