Goal-Getters Guide to Balanced Living: Why am I overwhelmed?
Hey Goal-Getters, did you set some resolutions or goals this past January? How is it going?  So many have told me that they started out strong but after 2-3 weeks they started to fall back into old ways.  Let's look a deeper look into the "why" and how to get back on track.

Why does life seem so overwhelming? We set goals and have good intentions, but there never seems to be enough time, money or energy for achieving life’s biggest goals. 
Instead of making progress, our lives seem even more out of balance.
Well, for the next few weeks, I’d like to help you overcome the overwhelm and work on achieving balance in every major life category.
 
How will we do that? 
Using a strategy I learned from Dr. Dave Braun and Dr. Troy Amdahl, authors of the bestselling book, Oola: Find Balance in an Unbalanced World: identify where you’re out of balance, then jot down three tasks a day that will move you toward balance in that area of your life.
Here’s an example:
If your finances are a mess and credit card debt is causing you extra stress, your to-do list might look like this:
1. Make a list of all debts in order of total amount due
2. Make an extra payment (today) on the smallest debt while still making minimum payments on the others
3. Investigate ways to make extra money to pay off all debt
START NOW: IDENTIFY WHERE YOU’RE OUT OF BALANCE
You CAN overcome the overwhelm. To start, identify your biggest stressor in each of “The 7 F’s of Oola” (below). Write down your list in a journal or on your smartphone, so you can refer back to it. Are you out of balance in:
Fitness: Excess weight? Poor nutrition? Little exercise?
Finance: Crushing debt? No retirement plan? Too many bills?
Family: Need boundaries? Marriage on life support? 
Field: Career stress? No free time? Low pay or benefits?
Faith: No real relationship with God? Need a daily practice?
Friends: Toxic friends that bring you down? Need mentors?
Fun: No time for fun? Waiting until you’re older or retired?  

Whatever is stressing you, let’s work together to completely transform your life into one that’s balanced, happy and growing. I’ve joined forces with Dave and Troy to bring my followers the Oola formula via a 10-week coaching experience designed to transform your life, your finances, your relationships and more. Message me and we can jump on a FREE call about it.

Building a Beautiful Balanced Life

 

A midlife momma and wellness warrior…that’s me!  I am on an epic journey that has taken me from tired, stressed, overweight, undervalued, and living with debilitating pain, every single day, to the person I am choosing to be today.  I believe that if you are not changing, you are choosing! So every day I make the choices that are leading me to my best life. In 4 years, I have gone from surviving to thriving. From exhausted to exhilarated. From stressed to blessed. My home has been completely transformed from toxic to healthy…one simple step at a time. 


Let me be real for a moment and admit to you that I was close to giving up, close to walking away from the very things that brought meaning to my life. I had nothing left  to give my family, my friends, my job, or myself. My body was failing me and I was losing my mind. Or so I thought when I could no longer find everyday words and the music didn’t make sense anymore. I was a walking, talking billboard for stress-induced burnout and I was terrified I would never find my way back. Or worse, I wouldn’t be able to keep smiling and everyone would see me the way I saw myself, as a fake, pathetic, excuse for a wife, mother, & Christian woman. 


Does any of that sound familiar? 


From one warrior to another, let me tell you that you never have to stay in that place. Your meaningful life is just a single step away! Meaningful in the ways you are present for your family, in the way you live your life…in the way you take care of YOU! This is where I come in…I help others walk into their best lives, one simple step at a time. 


If you are looking for authentic community, quality options, and simple solutions, I'd be blessed if you allowed me to walk with you. I welcome you to join my community of wellness warriors, taking back our health and our wellness as we strive to live our best lives...together! 


Are you ready to fight for YOU, to build the beautiful life you deserve? I know I am!
