NEED TO FIND BALANCE AGAIN?

N E E D T O F I N D B A L A N C E A G A I N ?

Do you feel stressed, overwhelmed, anxious and tired?

Do you feel out of balance?

Are you worrying over things that you cannot control?

Are you spending too much time doing things that are not adding value to

your life?

Are you overscheduled?

It might be time to hit the pause button and bring awareness to what is taking up

your thoughts, time and energy.

The good news is we can make a choice, change and get back into alignment

and integrity with ourselves.

If you answered “yes” to any of the above questions, then you may not feel

centered, grounded or peaceful.

You can begin to make a change and feel better.

Try these five steps and see if it makes a difference in how you feel.

1. Keep a daily log for one week. Write down what you do during the day, any

worries or concerns taking up your thoughts and the amount of time spent on

each item.

For example, you might write down how much time you spend on Facebook or

social media during the day and notice it is taking up way too much time and

creating feeling of inadequacy or not feeling good enough. You may decide to

limit your time or delete your account.

2. Explore why you do or think these things.

Are you doing a lot of things in your life to feel important, to be noticed, to feel

like you matter, to get attention, to belong or be liked? It’s essential to stop and

understand what drives your behavior, choices and thoughts.

3. Write down your values.

What is important to you? What matters most in your life? Are you living out

these values with your actions and thoughts?

4. Set boundaries for yourself.

This can be a gift for you and others. Determine what is out of balance and not

aligning with your values. You don’t need to explain yourself when setting

boundaries. A simple “no” is enough.

Often, we feel like we need to give a good explanation for why we can’t do

something, but it isn’t necessary.

5. Take time for yourself!

This is the most important step. It is often skipped because we tell ourselves we

don’t have time. We can absolutely make time to take care of ourselves. It is

essential we walk, read, journal, be in nature or whatever helps you to slow

down and remember what is important.

You can recharge your batteries, think more clearly, make better decisions and

feel more balanced. You are worth it!
