ALIGNMENT, NOT 'BALANCE'

Listen to the above audio to jump into this module.

​

Each module will have an audio file (see above) in which I go into more detail on each module, along with some activities for you to follow, along with text to help provide more context. 

​

Work-life balance is total B.S.

​

There isn’t work AND life. There’s just LIFE.

​

And how you spend the time in your life is entirely up to you. 

​

The key to true freedom and fulfillment is aligning the three facets of your life: WORK-FAMILY-SELF.

​

So, how do you determine which part of your life is out of alignment and how to fix it? Complete these activities...

​

The Pizza Pie

​

Here’s a quick activity to help you determine what areas of your life might be out of alignment:

​

  • Grab a piece of paper and a pen. In the middle of the piece of paper, draw a big circle. That’s your “pizza pie.”

  • The pie is going to have three slices: One for work, one for family, and one for self.

  • But the size of each slice has to be in direct proportion to the actual time (including anxiety, stress, mindshare) you spend on each facet of your life.

  • Go ahead and draw those slices.

  • When you’re done, look at those slices and reflect.

  • Now, redraw the slices (right over your initial pie), but this time, the size of the slices should be in proportion to how you WANT your life to be.

  • Now look at the difference between the size of the slices. Big difference? Now you know which areas of your life need to be brought into alignment.

​

And here are two BONUS activities not referenced in the audio portion...

​

Likes, Loves, Hates

​

Okay, so now you know which areas to align. 

 

  • Make a list of things you like. People, activities...whatever. 

  • Then highlight those that you LOVE.

  • Then, make a list of things you HATE.

​

How much of your day are you spending doing activities in each of the categories above (like, love, hate)? 

​

Magic Wand

​

If you had a magic wand and could magically create the perfect life for yourself TOMORROW, what would that look like?

 

Be aspirational here. 

​

Now, look at your “alignment” pie, then overlay the things you love/hate, along with the 
“Magic wand” lifestyle you desire.

​

  • Are you currently doing enough of the things you love to do?

  • Are you currently doing too much of the things you hate to do?

  • How do your “loves” align with your Vision Statement?

  • What’s holding you back from a lifestyle of “loves”?

​

What exactly does all this mean? Listen to the audio module to find out.
