93. Guest conversation with Stefanie Gass (Part 2 of 2)
Show Notes:
-Run a biz on little to no social media - delete apps on weekends, extend breaks off social, get off social for 30 days-6months...try it out,
build your online business God's way.
-Balance home/family/biz/mom life - Seasons of life... sometimes we are in a sprint and sometimes we are in a slow season, boundaries - create hard/fast boundaries for when work stops and when family time begins - fill your life with more intention and purpose. Choose not to work on weekends or during vacations or family time - keep work and family life separate.
-Planning - Time blocks...use them! (Just like we teach you here at High Five Motherhood - Stef Gass believes in them and uses them too...and so should you!) Use your time blocks to plan out your work flow each week.
-Intentionally living - start with where you are and add to it. Stack one habit on top of the next until you have a beautiful working system in place.
-How to stay productive and keep energy levels high in busy seasons of life - get your health in order - eat healthy, get adequate sleep and exercise regularly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***4ways*** to stay productive & keep energy levels high
1. God's word - spend time with God in the scriptures for at least 10 min. a day (add more as you create the habit - get up to 1hour)
2. Healthy food - fuel your body with good food!
3. Exercise - make time for fitness. Workout 5-6 days a week. Rest on the Sabbath
4. Rest - Prioritize sleep! Strive to get adequate sleep every night
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fuel your body, mind and spirit everyday
Ask yourself - "what's the obstacle (excuse)?" Then go and find the solution!
Ask yourself - "What's the RUSH?" - why do we as Moms feel the need to constantly rush? Rush to do the dishes and the laundry, rush to get the errands done, rush to get dinner on the table...rush to be everything! Lay it down, let it go... you only have so much time with your littles - make it count. Take it all in and enjoy every minute of it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Burnout/overwhelm - what do you do when you hit burnout as a Mom? - Read the book "don't let the devil have a seat at your table".
How to overcome burnout -
1. Do a mini reset - Take a break for 10 min outside in the sunshine. Be still. Breathe. Drink some coconut nog for fun! haha
2. Do a full reset - Go on a weekend getaway or a full vacation when needed. Give yourself permission to take time off. Unplug. Enjoy the small things.
3. Create a new system - sometimes our current systems in place just aren't working out. Take time to see the problem areas and make time to create solutions for them by designing a new system to solve the issues at hand.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ask yourself - why and I burned out or overwhelmed right now? What's the solution?
Delegate/automate - systems in your home and biz - Home = kids chores! Put your kiddos to work. Help them to become good housemates. Teach them to clean up after themselves. Reward them for doing work. Hire out! Hire house cleaners if needed, don't be afraid to ask for or seek out help. Work= outsource everything! Do not ever try to do it all on your own, its way too much! Ask for help! Trade if needed until you can afford to hire help. Automate - pre-record, pre-schedule all of your content and consolidate as much as possible.
One action step you can take now - Ask yourself - when is my work time this week - start there. Time block it in into your weekly blocks

86. Curious what was taught this weekend? 6 main takeaways from October 2022 General Conference - Church of Jesus Christ.
1. Focus on & make this your highest priority - your testimony! Pres. Nelson urged us to take charge of our own testimonies of Jesus Christ. We no longer can live on borrowed light. The adversary is getting stronger every single day - so we need to come up with our own spiritual battle plans to combat the temptations & evil that are so constant in our world today.
2. Find more ways to invite the Holy Spirit into your life. Contention, anger and chaos are in abundance right now, so we need to do all we can to strive to keep the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost in our daily lives. We can bring the spirit in by making good choices everyday - feasting on His words, praying, being a peacemaker, teaching our families gospel principles & helping them to love to spend time in God's word too.
3. Let God prevail in your life! What does this look like to have God prevail in your life? For starters, we need to make time for Him everyday. Set up holy appointments with Him. Start and end your day praying to Him & studying His word, pray when times are good...and when they are bad throughout each day. Spend time in silence - keep your mind and heart open to what God needs you to hear. Spend time with your family - teach them and talk about God during discussions at the dinner table...make it a regular and normal part of your everyday life in your families.
4. Charity - give to those in need. Take time to care for, serve & strengthen the needs of those around you. Help spread hope to any and all who's lights seem dim. Serve them, love them, care for them, befriend them and help them feel and know that they belong.
5. Stand in holy places - Attend Places of worship, such as; churches & temples, and in nature. Also, create places of worship such as; making our homes become a sanctuary of faith - a place unspotted from the world...but most of all, standing holy places begins in our hearts. Standing in holy places is as much of a physical thing as it is a spiritual thing. We must first begin with ourselves, our hearts and grow from there. Our hearts truly can become sanctuaries of faith.
6. Use social media to share the gospel and spread hope. Share about how the gospel shapes your life. Share about Christ & His redeeming love. Spread hope and peace - uplift and encourage those around you to do the same. BE the one that shares their light, not dims the light of others. Shine your light and help brighten theirs. "Shine your light, share your light, make it bright, all through the night". -Kim
