Planning Your Ideal Day
I was coaching a client recently and asked her what her ideal day would look like.
She said:
A bit of time to herself in the morning
To be able to concentrate on her work
To spend time with her kids building towers or painting and feel present
A bit of time to read in the afternoon
Just to not feel rushed for one day
Read that list again.
Is she asking for too much?
We know she’s not.
Instead everything was very out of balance for her. She was pressing on week after week, thinking she’d eventually sort it out, but she never did.
In one coaching session, we made a plan to:
Ask her partner to get up with the kids so she could have 10 mins to herself (her kids often woke up in her bed)
Time block her work and her time with her kids (she downloaded the Forest app I recommend to help her not get sucked into scrolling on her phone during these times)
Create a 30 minute “ok TV” block for her kiddos so she could read in the backyard with a hot tea in the afternoon #bliss
Do the Plan Your Week workshop so she didn’t have to feel rushed every day
I hope this list inspires you to make a small change in your day if you're feeling overwhelmed too.
Which of her pain points can you most relate to and what change could you make this week?
