I have this fantasy of one day having a life where everything is in perfect balance.

I'm putting out quality work, exercising daily, nurturing all of my relationships, getting plenty of sleep, making smart financial decisions, maintaining a clean home, making green juices every morning and healthy meals every night, and leaving plenty of time for fun and relaxation. And eventually I imagine adding kids and pets into the equation (without disrupting the balance of everything else, of course).

Intellectually, I know this is unrealistic, but I can't help that a small part of me still hopes this fantasy will come true.

Can you relate?

I'm reluctantly realizing that, as long as I stay attached to the myth of a perfectly balanced life, I'll always be slightly critical of my current, imbalanced, messy life, judging it for what it *should* be.

So I've decided I need to take a good, hard look at this whole "balance" thing and shift my mindset around it once and for all. Otherwise, my longing for a perfectly balanced life will perpetually steal any contentment I could be feeling with my life just as it is.

In this week's throwback blog from 2019, I'm sharing 4 hard truths that I've come to believe about balance…

After you've listened, come leave us a comment over on the blog to let us know all your thoughts about what it means to live a balanced life.

SERIOUS ABOUT SOME 1-ON-1 COACHING?

One-on-one coaching will be open for enrollment again this Friday, January 22! A few pointers to keep in mind:

• We'll be taking on about 10-15 people in this new wave.
• This is for people interested in getting started ASAP (within the next month).
• You don't have to know for sure that you want to move ahead with coaching. You just have to be serious enough about it to want to have a conversation.
• If you're not ready now, or you've found us in-between "official" enrollment periods, then you can add your name to the wait list and we'll contact you if and when we have an availability.

If you're seriously considering coaching, check out this page for all the details so you know what to expect!
