Episode Transcript
Hello hello hello
Welcome Back to the podcast
Do you guys know what this week is?
Work /life balance awareness week
I know
I know
I used to always think
There is no such thing as Work life balance
I think that word “balance” is the kicker right?
Meaning – Even distribution
I don’t know about you
But I don’t always think think there is even distribution
Between my work time
And my personal time
But
What I do think is more appropriate
Is work life integration
Work–life integration is a mix
of how you use time for work and personal life,
but it doesn’t need to be a state of both
at the same time.
Now you may have heard me say in the past life is 50/50
But what I’m talking about there is the mix of emotions
Like
Signing up for the entire human experience
Because the truth is
We wouldn’t know joy without sadness right?
I do not talk 50/50
For work and life
Integration is more like
Fully enjoying time time with your family Saturday afternoon, or at dinner each night
Maybe Checking emails before and after
but when we have planned to spend time with family, we really focus on that
That’s integration
It’s more of you as a whole
Vs thinking this is the time I only work
And this is the time I only do family
And then beat yourself up
And blame the job
If something comes up
Vs
Accepting
Sometimes I need to make some adjustments
But I always figure out how it works best for me
See the difference?
It’s everything friends
Improving your skills to integrate
Work and life
Is what allows you to be able to enjoy more of your life
Things like plan and keep a schedule
Work with a purpose in mind
Love what you do
Prioritize
Do less
Because listen
Everything is not equally important
We sometimes run around during the day
Trying to take care of all of it
When really
We don’t need to
I see this a lot
And it totally used to be me
And yes – sometimes I still catch myself
When you are not managing your mind
And thinking on purpose
You allow everything else around you to run your day
And that feels terrible
It is so disempowering to think
You have no control of your schedule
I know lol..
I thought it for a long time
You want to know something friends
We may be different in gender and race and economics
But there is one absolute thing we all have in common
24 hours a day
And they are all yours
You get to choose what to do with them
Think about that
Why do some people get more done than others?
We all have the same amount
And don’t forget
It’s like those vacation plans
If you don’t use it
You lose it
So
Choose wisely
And guess what
If you are ready for help on this
But don’t think you have the time to commit to 1:1 coaching
I just created a self paced
Online course and group program
I totally have you in mind
Because I remember when I first started
And told myself I didn’t have time to do anything more
PS – it’s a lie we tell ourselves
I love what Jim Kwik says in his book Limitless about Lies
Limited Ideas Entertained
See – I know you have more time
You just need some tools to help you
So that’s what this 12 week program is
Using the tools
you will double your time to enjoy more of what you want to do
And the fun part is
You can implement the ideas and concepts into not only your personal life
But your work as well to make more money
The online portion is self paced
Bite sized lessons on the concepts
And ways to implement in your life immediately
AND
We have a private Facebook community
Where you can ask questions that come
Network
Have some fun
AND
We will have group coaching calls every other weekend
AND
This might be my most favorite part
You have 1:1 private voxer access to me
So if you have a specific thing that comes up in a module over the 12 weeks
You can go to voxer
24/7
Leave me a message
And I’ll get back to you within 24 hours
It really is an amazing mix
Of opportunities to learn
Interact
And most importantly
Do
So you see the results
I promise you
Once you start using the tools
Your life will not be the same
The way you can learn more
