Can you do it all? No. There is NO productivity tip that will turn you into a super human. Nope. None. Nada. Yes, you can give have empowering and purposeful work, and yes you can have passions and interest. You absolutely can (and MUST) nourish and exercise your body. And of course you've got to take care of your family. But take a moment to look at your list. Because I have got to tell you most of us have our list so far out of whack that no wonder we feel like frenzied f-ck ups! If you're juicing all you can out of life but still aren't satisfied trust me I know what that feels like. And like so many people you just might be stuck on the hedonic treadmill. Here's the jist. If you're going to find more satisfaction in life you have got to start disappointing people immediately. And sometimes the person you are disappointing is the fake, unattainable version of yourself that you've been constructing in your mind. With the highlight reels of people's lives (ahem: social media) blasting away at us 24/7 and a world that seems to speeding up resource consumption at a break-neck speed, it's not our fault that we have unrealistic expectations of ourselves. BUT it is our responsibility to recognize the trap and immediately begin to untangle ourselves. Maybe you're asking yourself, "How do you maintain the balance pursuing your passions and maintaining a healthy body and mind, and a thriving home life?" News flash. Balance is a myth. And doing it all is a trap. There are seasons for all things. So if you are hoping to raise 4 kids, launch a multi-million dollar business, run a marathon, and travel the world all at the same time - it might be time to get very good at disappointing people. Here aer some strategies, habits, and insights that you need to employ NOW if you want to move from FOMO & frenzied into YOLO & loving life.

So, let's breath together! To begin, find a comfortable seat in a chair or on the ground. Place one hand on your abdomen, and one hand on your chest. Allow your eyes to get soft or perhaps lower your gaze. Now, let's begin to breathe with more intention. Breathe in and fill your low abdomen all the way up to your chest. Hold breathe in all the way at the top and count backwards from 4...3...2...1 Exhale from the chest all the way down to the low abdomen. Repeat 10 times. After the tenth round, return to normal, natural breath pattern. Get up from your seat when you feel ready. How do you feel? Have you tried this breathing style before? Let me know in the notes below. And, if you are looking for some bonus (and FREE) gentle & meditation check out this video below! |
