Hello lovely listeners! I’m Alecia St. Germain and my friend and co-host Jonathan Dugger is with me to explore the concept of life balance, specifically around success.
We know success is often measured by financial or professional achievements and we’re also clear that true wellness comes from balancing multiple dimensions of life.
In this episode we’re talking about the components of wellness, how to assess imbalance, and practical ways to restore harmony.
Here’s a great summary of our conversation:
Wellness is multi-dimensional. True wellness involves balancing physical, emotional, spiritual, social, intellectual, occupational, and financial aspects of life.
Success is tied to wellness. Jonathan emphasized, "When you're truly well, you're successful" highlighting that true success comes from overall well-being.
Balance doesn’t require equal time. It’s not about spending equal time on each area, but rather about doing efficient things that fill your “cups” in less time.
Life is an experiment. Treat life as a laboratory to experiment with habits and behaviors, noticing what works and making adjustments when you don’t like the way things are going.
Intentional rest is key. Scheduling intentional downtime is crucial for maintaining balance and boosting productivity.
Focus on one thing at a time. Avoid trying to overhaul every area of life at once. Instead, take baby steps and make gradual improvements.
Mindfulness aids in balance. Being mindful helps identify areas of imbalance and allows for intentional changes without judgment.
Life is an ongoing journey, and our hope is that through this podcast and future retreats, we can help you find success, balance, and fulfillment. Stay tuned for more on how you can be part of that.
Remember, success is about more than money—it’s about being well in every aspect of your life. Until next time, sending you so much love and balance!
