Before we can even gain momentum, we have to just start! But how do we get up and get going when we’re feeling overwhelmed or super unmotivated? Where do we even start?

Being “all in” can be a huge strength, and really set you apart as a high performer. But it can quickly become a weakness when you revert to an “all out” mentality because you are unable to perform at 100% completion, for whatever reason.

I’m giving you permission to let things go... as long as you add better things into your life to replace them. And vice versa! Don’t forget to subtract things out of your life when you decide to take on more—otherwise our life can quickly become a madhouse of spinning plates. In 2021, let’s focus on balance and regularly checking in with ourself to keep our mental health at bay.

Oftentimes we wait around for the new year to take action, set goals, and feel that renewed zest for life. I get it! It’s like a little reset button. But we can feel that NOW. I realize the irony in publishing this episode right now as everyone is gearing up for the new year, but I urge you to create a reset in your life no matter when you’re listening. And do it often! We don’t need to wait until the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve.

Have you ever had days that seemed so chock-full of busy work, and you just seem drained, with not much to actually show for it? Well, are you actually defining your goals? They might be simpler to accomplish than you’re working them up to be. But we get so distracted by the “busy work” that’s not actually propelling us towards our goals. The 5% rule bears good news in this regard!

There is opposition in all things, so that means there needs to be an equal amount of playtime in our life as there is work time... that’s right! I mean it. It’s so easy to get caught up in the hard stuff of life that we forget to ease up and play a little! But it’s such an important part of living a truly fulfilled life. A life of balance.

Doing more means more stress and chaos, right? Not necessarily true. When done right, multitasking is ART. It creates more in your life. It creates more efficiency, more fulfillment, more time, more clarity.

The title is self explanatory. If you need some motivation to clean, hearing these facts just might do the trick!
