My entire journey as a lifelong learner and soul searcher has been fuelled by feeling ‘broken.’

Reading Untamed by Glennon Doyle last year really hit me, and an article by Terri Cole a couple of months ago have been adding together in my brain as I deal with some personal transition.

This episode is a reminder to myself as well as you that we are not broken because they tell us we should be/feel/do differently.

 “Broken means: does not function as it was designed to function. A broken human is one who does not function the way humans are designed to function. We all seem to function in the exact same way” - UNTAMED – Glennon Doyle

I’ve been really diving into ACT theories this month, and one aspect that really got me reflecting on my work as a life coach and wellbeing practitioner is that of being willing to go through the sucky parts of life to reach the more aligned sections. Today, that’s what we dive into.

This week marks the deadline of a writing challenge I have entered. And with this deadline, I’ve been thinking a lot about constraints and limits – and how they can be HELPFUL for our creative projects. 

It’s also my birthday this week, so hai, newfound wisdom.

Last night Ember didn’t come home, and I found myself going down the unwanted paths of ‘what if something bad has happened’ in my mind.

Being human means always responding to our changing environment: both the outside world and in our own thoughts and feelings. But that doesn’t make those hard days any less hard to manage, so let’s talk through 3 ways to get into the ‘flow’ of life’s river again.

The ‘silent’ to-do list items are often unconscious and thus hard to manage, or notice the true influence of. Here’s my take on it, with a few tips to consider.

I’ve been in the self-help space for over 2 decades, and the most common theme I see is people have a ‘stable’ life: perhaps a steady job, somewhere to live, good friends and a family. But you don’t feel good. You set the same goals without feeling you are improving yourself. And here you are: going through the motions again. 

Since we’re not taught to define success or our ‘end game’, we never know if we’re actually making progress. And we tend to feel frustrated and lost.

So let’s see how we can get unstuck.

Life Balance is one of those highly-valued aspects some people claim doesn’t even exist. After all, how is it even possible to ‘balance’ everything? Food, work, sleep, play, health, family, friends, creative pursuits and that pull of that potential best self… It’s overwhelming. 

The word ‘balance’ itself doesn’t just refer to things which are ‘equal’ but can refer to being in the correct ‘proportions.’ Eight hours of sleep may be an aim while eight hours of eating would be too much. Well, for me anyway.

If you struggle with knowing how much is “too much” to expect of the human brain, check on out the 7 Things Rule. If you’re ready to explore bringing about more balance in your life, let’s dive in.
