What balance of life are you seeking? And does it seem more like a battle than a balance at times?
I had an interesting life coaching session a few days ago...
This wonderfully talented women was seeking out "balance" in every area of her life - work / life balance, mix of country and city in living location, the balance of "responsible" finances / investing in creating her own business...
It had an interesting energy to it.
Almost like diametrically opposed asks and targets.
Life instead of a work / life balance it was a work vs life battle...
Like the two things she wanted to balance were at odds with each other and couldn't possibly exist in the same life at the same time.
Either she could have this - or she could have that.
And whatever one she leaned towards to create the other one felt depleted and left behind.
The result? Judgment, inner conflict and stagnation in choice.
Can you relate?! Yikes!
So many cool awarenesses came out of that coaching session that I felt inspired to create a podcast around it.
Enjoy the a-ha's and let me know what pops for you!
In this episode we'll explore
- 3 misleading ways we are taught to seek balance
- A self-judgment trap hidden within the ideal balance model society gives us
- Hidden either / or goals that can lead to inner conflict and stagnation
- How to find your perfect mix of work / life in any given 10 seconds
