From my thought process, I created a checklist of what might be creating tension on your farm when you don\u2019t feel like a champion.<\/p>\n<p>Take a few moments for self-care and self-awareness to review the key points of this checklist. It will help you identify areas where you can creatively fix your \u201cfarm stress mess\u201d this year.<\/p>\n<p>[Tweet &#8220;@MikeLipkin&#8217;s Checklist of Champions helped me reduce tension on the #farm, now let it help you.&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Farmer&#8217;s Checklist of Champions:<\/h3>\n<h4>Stress from Farming with Family<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Job dissatisfaction. No ability to make decisions because the founder won\u2019t let go!<\/li>\n<li>Future job potential, but there are no agreements in place.<\/li>\n<li>Work projects, where the farm work is \u201cnever done.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Deadlines. Well actually we don\u2019t have any \u2013 that is the problem!<\/li>\n<li>Expectations are unrealistic for 2016!!<\/li>\n<li>Education, when you would like more but don\u2019t know how to make it work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Stress from Money and Finances<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Income is irregular, but we need to meet our family living needs.<\/li>\n<li>Credit card debt is too high. Should we cut up the cards?<\/li>\n<li>Farm debt for land is overwhelming us.<\/li>\n<li>Operating loans are maxed out.<\/li>\n<li>Retirement plans are nil. Parents will just \u201cre-invent and take on new roles.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Savings sounds good, but how do I feed the tax free savings account?<\/li>\n<li>Cash flow\/spending habits are an issue. We don\u2019t track our spending.<\/li>\n<li>Emergency fund needs to be built, but three months of salary is $9K!<\/li>\n<li>Future money needs, when money is all going back into the farm.<\/li>\n<li>Past financial mistakes have scared parents about hiring expert advisors.<\/li>\n<li>Investments all go back into capital purchases for the farm, giving no personal wealth bubble.<\/li>\n<li>Mortgage on our house is difficult.<\/li>\n<li>Living expenses\/bills seem to be increasing with young children.<\/li>\n<li>Care giving costs are something our aging parents refuse to talk about.<\/li>\n<li>Planning for the future sounds good, but we must find a certified financial planner.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Stress from Health Issues<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Overall health status is not where I would like it to be.<\/li>\n<li>Appearance could be improved; I don\u2019t like muffin tops!<\/li>\n<li>Weight has been an ongoing issue and now my doctor is encouraging weight loss.<\/li>\n<li>Fitness is not staying on the couch. I need to walk and workout more.<\/li>\n<li>Current health challenges are impacting my sleeping patterns.<\/li>\n<li>Stress load will always need managing. I need more time for self-care.<\/li>\n<li>Mental well-being is critical.\u00a0 Am I depressed? Should I ask my doctor for the test?<\/li>\n<li>Future health is a concern as my aging friends are getting sick.<\/li>\n<li>Chronic conditions are being managed, but I need to check family history.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Stress from Personal Tensions<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Time management. What is the most important thing to do, not just the most urgent?<\/li>\n<li>Household management. How can I ask for more help or delegate tasks?<\/li>\n<li>Personal hygiene\/upkeep. Grooming is slipping. Slob alert.<\/li>\n<li>Priorities\/organization. I need to write my action plan down with deadlines.<\/li>\n<li>Is my faith growing with connection to other believers and community?<\/li>\n<li>Assessing my ability to get things done\/reach goals.<\/li>\n<li>Making a difference\/giving back to my community.<\/li>\n<li>Monitoring happiness\/emotional stability.<\/li>\n<li>Confidence\/self-esteem as I become a life-long learner.<\/li>\n<li>Sense of balance is fleeting; an unresolvable issue.<\/li>\n<li>Sense of personal fulfillment with farming and family.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Stress from Relationships<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Spouse\/partner \u2013 are we working on making our relationship stronger?<\/li>\n<li>Are siblings in contact and do they understand our vision for our farm?<\/li>\n<li>Are parents transparent and sharing their future life chapter expectations?<\/li>\n<li>Are children engaged with farm chores and learning to be independent?<\/li>\n<li>Do we have extended family members to celebrate good times with us?<\/li>\n<li>Are friends\u2019 part of our weekly plans to stay connected?<\/li>\n<li>Do neighbors know they can ask for help? Do we appreciate each other?<\/li>\n<li>Are co-workers at the farm appreciated, engaged, and happy to be on the team?<\/li>\n<li>Are farm managers learning to let go and delegate responsibility to others?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Assessing Your Stress and Tension<\/h3>\n<p>In which category did you check the most boxes? This is your greatest source of stress and tension.\u00a0 Are your sources of tension mostly about relationships? Money? Health?<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>What are your top 5 sources of tension? <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As an example, are your relationships drawing you closer to your vision and goals or blocking you? Are you paying attention to your intuition and inner voice to take better care of yourself?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Once you identify the main sources of tension in your life, you can start to work on them.<\/strong>\u00a0 Knowing which areas of your life need improvement will help you be more intentional about working on those areas.<\/p>\n<p>What do you want to let go of?<\/p>\n<p>What do you want to hold on to?<\/p>\n<p>What do you want to take on?<\/p>\n<p>What do you want to move on?<\/p>\n<p><strong>New paths will appear\u2026new beginnings.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently Mike Lipkin of www.mikelipkin.com offered me a checklist of champions.\u00a0This checklist encouraged me to think about what it takes to be a champion on the farm.
