3. Balance is key. Too much or too little of something, no matter how good, is actually not good.

Balance is one of the easiest tenets to understand, but arguably the most difficult to maintain. Obviously, too much alcohol is bad; then again, there are some health benefits to moderately imbibing red wine. What about too much of a good thing; can a mother love her children too much? Yes, if she is an overprotective “helicopter parent.” The best antidote to overkill of anything is awareness; try to be aware of all measures in your life.

4. Life is about making the right choices.

Integrative decision-making makes this easier. There are many different types of decision-making, including systematic, hierarchical, impulsive, decisive and flexible. Integrative decision-making can be used for problems large and small, and includes the following process:

1. Define the problem.

2. Frame the problem.

3. Develop all your options.

4. Analyze your options.

5. Make the decision.

6. Execute your decision.

7. Debrief yourself.

While experts may be the best consultants for compartmentalized areas of your life, only you know the other aspects that affect your well-being and can determine how a decision in one area will affect another area.
