65 | Momtrepreneurs and Time Management Part 1: How to NOT Work All The Time

🤱💼Is it possible to not work all the time when you're a momtrepreneur?  Are you allowed to take a break or to have a stopping point in your day?  After all, it's not healthy to replace a 9-5 with a 24/7 is it?  Let's honor having a handle on when to hustle and when to halt.
 
In Part ONE of our Momtrepreneur series, we talk about how to know when enough is enough.  Some of the ways we can start to have more balance include: Reflecting on your reasons for choosing this path, defining your ideal schedule, knowing if you're results-based or efforts-based, setting clear metrics and having visual cues to know when to stop for the day. Let's redefine how we manage our work and personal lives!  And give all the Momtrepreneurs permission to SAY NO to working all the time.

59 | Battling Burnout? The Six Questions to Ask Yourself to Regain Your Peace and Productivity

😩In today's world it's hard to NOT feel burned out, particularly among women. Is it inevitable?  Is it just part of living in this fast-paced, social-media driven, high-expectation time of life?  Is it something you can't change and just have to live with?
 
From overwhelming to-do lists to sleep issues, first, let's talk about the common signs of burnout and the serious consequences of ignoring them.   Those consequences can be staggering --- with potential risks ranging from mental health issues to physical illnesses like heart disease and worse.  In other words, we didn't come to play today!
 
To give some hope and help -- let's ask ourselves six crucial questions to help differentiate between burnout and other forms of fatigue.   Because other things in our life (or lack thereof) can come disguised as burnout when in reality, they are much more simple feelings or actions to take.  Which one is at the heart of your overwhelm?
 
And just as a reminder when approaching a topic as serious as this, if you feel on the edge of complete or severe burnout, we urge you to seek professional help.   That's not weakness, that's strength.

58 | Schedule SUBTRACTION. How to Know When Less is More: Less Stress. More Happiness.

🔣Let's "add" in some MATH to our Time Management conversation.  And in this case, we are "adding" in,..... SUBTRACTION.   Many of us tend to be a "more is more" kind of person.  But is that really the best way to look at our lives and our schedules? What if you could hear a bunch of examples of people who discovered that taking away something actually gave them back so much more.
 
If you've ever heard content from "The Happiness Lab" podcast, then you'll know that we are always on a discovery journey of what really eliminates stress and overwhelm and what gives us more happiness and joy and peace.   It's actually not genetics or circumstances although those can play a part.  It's really all about CHOICE.  
 
It's time to continue working on removing unnecessary clutter from our lives so we can restore balance and foster joy.  All within the realm of CHOICE.
 
And.... be sure to listen to the whole episode because you won't want to miss the ending mic drop -- especially if you've never heard of the 'Yes-Dang' effect and 'No-Yay' effect.  
 
It's TIME to embrace the idea of subtraction so we can multiply our time, energy and priorities.

56 | Transforming the Power of Triggers. Part Two: POSITIVE TRIGGERS

🛡️⚔️Are you ready for the GOOD NEWS?  It's time for part two in our series where we explore the concept of triggers, which can make or break your day, depending on your response.
 
In the previous episode, we identified and listed negative triggers, elements outside your control. If you haven't listened to that episode, go back to episode 54 to get the full context. This time, we focus on that good news: positive triggers, which you have the POWER to control, regardless of how chaotic your environment might be.
 
Fortunately, we can redirect our attention to aspects within our control, which will serve as our positive triggers. These elements can range from a motivating podcast (obvious choice!) to a favorite outfit or even a hot cup of cocoa and obviously much more. The key is in discovering what truly nudges you towards positivity and employing it against your identified negative triggers.  It's like having a secret weapon or ten ready to go.
 
After all, LIFE, with all its unpredictability, can often feel like a battlefield, and negative triggers, the arrows aiming for your stability. However, with an arsenal of positive triggers in your grip, you can guard your space, protect your dreams, and remain steadfast in your journey towards achieving your goals.
