I was SO proud of myself! <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Before my short trip to Hawaii last month, I prepped TWO blog posts to post while I was away! All I needed to do was add a couple of photos of island fruits, and I was ALL set! Go me!! My intention was to keep the blog rolling smoothly without a pause while we were away and it worked GREAT! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until we got home again and you guys haven’t heard a WORD from me since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What happened?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While I was in Hawaii I realized I had lost my way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My life was completely OUT of balance. I love all three of my careers <\/a>and I pour my heart and soul into running my businesses. I was allowing ALL of my time to be absorbed into working with clients, building my businesses, coaching classes & certifications, advertising & marketing, scheduling, bookkeeping & other administrative tasks. My whole world was skewed toward career and my whole schedule skewed toward finances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Considering how much passion I have for coaching and for massage therapy and for landscape photography, it’s no wonder that I allow it to consume me! I even enjoy marketing and writing advertising copy, so it’s easy to see why I would let it absorb all of my waking hours! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The intentions I set for Hawaii were to 1) stay hydrated, and 2) ZERO hours committed to business activities. ~I made a big exception for coaching calls, which I am THRILLED to add into my travel schedule BECAUSE building a coaching practice that allows me to travel while working is one of my BIG goals!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The amount of free time was almost overwhelming and gave me a deeply needed rest for my body, mind and spirit. It also gave me lots of time to reflect, and I realized how out of balance my life had become. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Yes, I love my work. I am good at it, and passionate about it, but woman cannot live on work alone! I was neglecting every other area of my life. My relationships, my spiritual connection, my self-care, and fun had somehow all been erased from my schedule in favor of serving my clients and my financial needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had been so focussed on my clients’ health and well-being that I allowed myself to lose track of my own. The realization hit me like a freight train and stopped me in my tracks. How positively human of me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since we returned from Kona I have spent every spare minute carefully restructuring my schedule to prioritize things quite differently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

YES! I still want hours each week to focus on building my business, handling administrative tasks, and furthering my coaching education, and I need more hours to market my coaching practice – something I never needed with the massage practice. All of these things are vitally important, but so are self-care and fun. I tell my clients this every day, so I am taking my own advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My new schedule includes time every day – 7 days a week – for moving my body, connecting to Source energy, reading something that inspires me, and writing. These things are non-negotiable, like showing up for work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, whatever I have listed in my schedule gets handled with more ease and joy! <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What is it that you long to fit into your schedule?
Why is it important to you?
What would happen to your to-do list if you simply allowed it space?
How will you feel while doing it?
How will you integrate it? All at once? Little by little?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are no right or wrong answers here. I’m just curious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What are you waiting for? Grow on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
