Has the COVID 19 pandemic changed your priorities?  It might have you re-evaluating how you spend your time, how you take care of your health, or even how you budget your money.  A lot of us had our finances impacted by the stay at home orders, job changes, loss of the stock market, and more.  So what do we do?

We turn toward experts like financial coach Health Langford Oynes for direction in prioritizing our finances to get back on track and prepare with what we have learned in case anything like this happens again.

Ok, being in quarantine with our loved ones can be a blessing.  But given the stress we are under with COVID-19 and limitations on activities, it can create tension in any relationship.  Especially as a working mom that is trying to work from home, manage distance learning, and more.  In the second part of this series with Dr. Mariam Coaster, we are looking at stress and relationships and what you can do to ensure that your relationships stay strong.

Last week, we experienced part one: Dealing with the Stress In Us.  I highly encourage you to listen to it if you have not already.  

Dr. Mariam Coaster is amazing. She is a wife to a wonderful husband, and mother to two beautiful children, a two-year-old boy, and a 3-month-old girl. Professionally, she has a doctorate in neuroscience and is a licensed marriage and family therapist. She primarily works with couples and women at her private practice in Franklin, TN. She is passionate about helping people grow towards healing and restoration in their closest relationships. She is also the co-founder of InRelationship, and a marriage workshop called 7 Conversations to Enrich your Marriage. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family, cooking up a new-found recipe, and being actively involved in her church.

Join us in a 7-Day program called the New Year Reset inside Life Balance Membership.  Start your free 7-day trial by diving into this program.  Click here to get started.

So, with last week ending a series and next week starting a series, we are in a week of transition.  And really that is what this week has been all about….meaning the week between Christmas and New Year.  It is my favorite week of the year because it is quiet, there isn’t that much going on and I can just breath, think, and be.

Every year I use this week to reflect on areas of my life, give gratitude, dream a little and just talk to God about bigger things than I normally get to on a daily basis.  I go through a process that allows me better insight to setting goals and getting ready to accomplish them.  

It is this exact system that I have been teaching to our Life Balance members this week.  If you are not a life Balance member, you can still join us! The great thing is that we are walking through a pre-recorded course that you can start really at any time.  It’s a 7-day new program that has been added to the membership and it will help you get clear on your goals in a whole new way.  

In this episode, I wanted to share with you three of the principles that we teach in this program.  It’s a different way of setting goals than most people do, but so highly effective.

Oct 29, 2019

Last week we talked about how to come back when we face burnout.  This week, we are talking about the other thing that takes us away from being the best we can be...falling out of balance.  More importantly, we are talking about how you can get back on track after you have fallen off your balance.

Here's the thing, balance is not a place to arrive to.  It’s not an accomplishment. It is a verb.  It’s an action that we choose to take each day in our lives to be the best version of ourselves in all that God has called us to be.

This week’s challenge is about cultivating your community.  Yes, we have talked about this before. In fact, it is one of the pillars to having balance in your life.  If you are new to the show, we believe that Life Balance is possible when you have three things. 1. You put God first in your life.  Following Jesus. 2. Is community and 3 is systems.

Why is community so important?  Because when you live your life in a vacuum all your problems seem bigger than they actually are.  We become self-focused and self-consumed and it’s just not good. We were not designed to live that way.  Plus, as a working mom, we need help. We need prayer. And we need accountability from other Godly women in our lives.

Honestly, this was the hardest thing for God to teach me.  Following him, yes. All day long. I wasn’t raised a Christian so I know all too well what life feels like without him.  And systems, well after I first rebelled against them, I now know that following systems is my self-care. It makes it all work.

But community?  I am pretty self-reliant and independent.  Plus, I am an introvert...so this was a hard one for me.  Not to mention I am human and have lived. Meaning I have been hurt by people.  Deeply. So why not just live on an island (metaphorically speaking) with my family and that just be enough?  Well, a lot of reasons but let me give you 3 of what I believe are the top reasons.

(You gotta listen to get them!)
