One of the cornerstones in lifecoaching, is helping our clients to find life balance, ie a balance in how they use their time and energy. How are you using yours?

To find balance, comparing and using opposites are one way to ensure that the needs are met on both sides of the spectrum during the week. You can for example compare how you are spending your tme and energy when it comes to:

• Solitude vs companionship
• Activity vs rest
• Work vs leisure
• Awakened time vs sleep
• Indoors vs outdoors
• Input vs output

One example, can be how much information you’re taking in, and how much you’re giving out. To create a balance, you must either process what you’re reading, watching and listening to, by sharing your reactions with someone, through night dreams, or write about them. Likewise, to write, you must have some kind of input and inspiration, such as what others are saying, what you’re experiencing and feeling, or observing, or a safe space to explore your imagination. This is the essence of nurturing and refilling your cup. You must empty it sometimes, in order for it to become refilled.

To make it more visible, you can use use a scale and take note of how you’ve used your time the last month or two. Make an honest evaluation of what feels good and what you would like more or less of. You can also fill in this life wheel and make an estimate of how much time and energy you’re spending in each area. What can you let go of? What can you begin doing? What can you change?

To discuss this further, don’t hesitate to contact me for a lifecoaching session, either in person or through Zoom. The first one is complimentary, and the following as agreed upon. A good recommendation, is to try for three months, with a session every other week.
