Out of BALANCE can create chaos, isolation and dis-ease
For a long time I believed it was work that was tipping my life out of balance.
I felt under pressure AND wholeheartedly believed becoming MORE efficient would result in being MORE productive. I believed if I mastered efficiency then I would crack the vicious circle of what felt like a 24/7 workLIFE with no room, to think, organise, have fun or to simply just ‘be’ in my own life.
Can you see an end in sight when it comes to your work where you can RELAX or just ‘be’?
Guess What! I hadn’t noticed how efficient I already was or how productive I was being. I was still searching for the hints and tips, I think at this point, I had researched every available strategy AND spent hours following the experts, watching webinars, enrolling into courses, listening to podcasts, giving them all a try then re-tried them to a point where I was SCREAMING ‘what is wrong with me!’.
Maybe you can relate to this?
The common denominator here was ME. It took a while for me to realise this. I had placed my focus on be usecoming more efficient so I COULD squeeze in some time for JOY. I was refusing to give myself permission to live a life with Joy and Balance.
When I think about IT, my poor melted HEAD hadn’t a minute to rest. I had post-its, focus lists and EVERY minute accounted for.
We all get bogged down with work and LIFE from time to time, but making time for yourself is necessary. Reflecting on your relationships and noticing who is quick to let YOU know how you SPARKLE is important! they remind us of our BALANCE and JOY.
Do you have a team who reminds you how you SPARKLE✨?
Take a PEN and paper find a quiet space for 5 minutes and TOGETHER LETS figure this one out
Lets GET STARTED
Draw a circle, INSIDE THE CIRCLE list personality TRAITS that help NOURISH you?
Draw a circle around this. INSIDE THE CIRCLE list the names of people in your life who have at least one of your listed traits?
What have you noticed about your answers to these questions?
I believe everyone deserves to have a GLOW team full of cheerleaders! I think it’s essential and a natural basic human need.
There was a point in my life where there was no sparkle team to throw me a fishing line and believe in me! It’s so easy to find yourself in this PLACE. To suddenly realise, there is no one there! No one to ground you! No one to offer a different perspective! to connect with, to offer care and comfort! I NEVER EVER want anyone to feel like this.💖
