Balance isn't a LIE! 5 Steps to Designing a Balanced Life

BALANCE isn't a LIE!!!!! 
 
On today's podcast I'm going to give you 5 ways to create YOUR own definition of balance and craft a life that is BY DESIGN.
 
How many times have you heard... (or even said...)
"I don't believe in balance"
 
Tough love time.
 
Not believing in balance is a lie that people tell themselves so they can make excuses for why they are lacking in one area or another.
 
You have the power to define your life. YOU.
 
You GET to:
Wake up each morning with a clean page in your planner
Chose what to fill open space with
Pick how you spend discretionary income
Decide what you really want
Work towards the life of your dreams
Set boundaries that matter to you
Chose who your 5 closest friends are
 
Look, life is messy. We have kids, spouses, jobs, bills... but we also can live proactively instead of reactively.
 
Do you want to define what balance means for you and live a life by design?
 
HERE'S HOW:
 
Step 1: Inventory your life.
Imagine you were doing a food diary... same concept. Instead we are making a list of how are you spending your time. Make a list of everything you do within your waking hours for at least 48 hours. Be HONEST.
 
Step 2: Star the A-activies, the non-negotionables, and the important stuff.
I.E. focused time working, a job, playing with your kids, cooking dinner, meditation, prayer time, a workout... the GOLD.
 
Step 3: Highlight the crap. This is the time you can fill with something you are LACKING.
I.E. scrolling social media, watching mindless TV, picking your teeth, talking drama on the phone with your bestie, wasting time doing______.
 
Step 4: DECIDE to claim balance.
Define your 3 - 4 categories.
For me it is Faith, Family, Health, and Business. In that order.
 
Step 5: PLAN balance into your week.
 
Example: Every morning I plan 30 minutes of spirituality. Prayer, my devotional, my journaling. Most weekends I social media detox and pour into my family. I usually don't work and sometimes I even delete the apps! Monday - Thursday I WORK. I focus on my biz for at least 4-5 hours a day. DEDICATED time. No phone calls, no distractions, no multi-tasking... Last, I meal prep on Sundays and workout 5 times a week.
 
This is what balance means to me. And my best, BALANCED life is non-negotiable. Period.
 
In today's episode, I'm going to walk you through 5 tangible steps to creating YOUR own definition of balance and craft a life that is BY DESIGN. Proactive instead of reactive. 

Let's dig in.

Love and light,
Stef
