Hi there,
I find it a challenge to stay in balance now that I am starting a new job (new in content and company) and wanting to develop my coaching practise.
A full time job in a quite busy environment during the day time. In the evening coaching, reading people development books and taking some coaching classes. In between I want to spend some time with my husband and daughter. I also work on softening our communication. I am also organizing a birthday party for my daughter this Saturday (15 young and exciting kids of 8 to entertain for 3 hours). And in everything I do I want to be good.
With this schedule I am currently leaving out my personal time (doing yoga, taking tango classes) and time to keep up with my friends.
Choices ! That is what it is all about… setting priorities and enjoying the choices that I have made and not bothering about the things that I have left out. Choosing what I love and loving what I do.
I need to reflect on the different elements in my life and the time spend on them and evaluate …
What about you ? How are you dealing with the overload of choices we have ? Curious to hear and learn about you.
Inner strength

It sounds as if you are currently in a state of giving (giving your attention to your new job, giving your passion to your coaching practice, giving your time to read personal development books, and giving your energy to coordinating a birthday party for your daughter, etc). These are all things to celebrate and I acknowledge you being aware of the choices you are making.
I also want to acknowledge you for vocalizing your need for “ME” time (yoga, tango dancing, time with friends, etc). I want to share a quote I recently read…
“If you are not taking care of yourself; body, mind, and spirit, the people in your life don’t get the best of you, they get what’s left of you!”
– Lorraine Cohen
I deal with overload in my life by putting myself first and by honoring my “ME” time.
