Building Balance

Ever feel like everything you do is under a magnifying glass? Just kidding – we all feel that way sometimes. This is because of a phenomenon that social psychologists call The Spotlight Effect.

In this episode, I talk about how it might affect how you take action in your business, manage your time, or how much you spend time enjoying your life outside of your task list.

In this episode, I share whether or not I think it's worth hustling in those first few years of your business, and what my own hustling experience was as I started and grew my documentary family photography business.

*Of course, the experience looks different for everyone, and everyone has different limits to how much they can handle – I'm sharing my own experience of overworking, and there's a growing trend of business owners who are sharing stories about how hustle impacted their lives which are along the same lines as mine.

Today I want to address this feeling that getting more done is the only way, the only choice you have, to solve the issues or the resistance that you’re experiencing in your business (or life).

You may have heard me talk about the nervous system before, and the flight-fight-freeze response – but I think that a bit of repetition never hurts when it comes to this stuff and I don’t think I’ve gone this deep into how it increases the tendency to overwork.

In case you didn’t know, I’m a trained psychologist and I love to dip into the theories and research that I feel are relevant for you to know; things that affect your ability to get things done or to enjoy life.

In this week's episode, I talk about three key ways that Finns approach life, that I think are part of what makes us some of the happiest people in the world - while we also get the things done that need to be done.

Between what goes on in the world, what’s happening in your life, plus your responsibilities, thoughts and any aspirations you have for your life – there’s quite a lot that can weigh your mind down.

And when you’ve got a lot on your mind, you have less bandwidth to deal with the things that you need to deal with throughout the day – so!

Today I’m gonna share four steps that I hope will help you get some relief from all the things that are filling up your mind. You can do this to declutter your brain whenever you need to, whenever you feel like you are holding onto too much in your head and just need to calm all of that down.

I used to have this problem that I’d plan my business tasks for days, weeks, months – and suddenly it felt like I had already “lost” that time. Because I knew exactly what my next few days or weeks were going to look like, I didn’t look forward to them as much anymore because they were already spoken for.

So today I thought I would tell you about some things that I did to get back to feeling more excited about my weeks, even if they were regular work weeks.

Today I wanna talk about something that I think we all have to deal with multiple times per day, even if it’s often quite subtle or subconscious even, which is making decisions. I've come up with a decision-making matrix that can help you make choices in the context of how you spend your time, get things done or follow through on what you’ve planned to do. And it can also help you decide what kinds of tasks or commitments to take on.

Today I want to chat to you about how you can do it all – or rather, how you can feel like you have enough time for the things that matter to you.

In case you’ve followed me along for a while, you might know or might have guessed, that we don’t have kids. The time available to me is very different from that of a parent’s, but I still believe that the ideas I’m going to talk about can be applied to most people – it’ll just look different for everyone.
