Your client is overwhelmed by career and personal demands. How can you help them find balance and success?

I love implementing my 70/20/10 Rule when it comes to feeling overwhelmed, project management, and stress management. First making a list of projects or tasks, prioritizing and categorizing them and using the 70/20/10 rule to determine how to implement the list. Whether you decide to do the tasks that are either more or less time consuming first, or if you want to eat your vegetables first and do the things that are of the highest importance and then save the 10% of wish list things for dessert, is really all up to you and how you want to approach your list of priorities.

Connecting to the flow of the universe. Learning to listen to your intuition on a daily basis and listen to the inner wisdom. Practising magick rituals and incantations to nourish your spiritual soul and release the judgements that are causing overwhelm.

Boundaries, boundaries, boundaries! I can not express these enough. When you need to be your most productive and focused, you need to set boundaries re: distractions. When you want to prioritize family, you need to set boundaries with work. When you don't set boundaries, you don't feel completely present with your priority at that time leading to not feeling fulfilled. It is perfectly healthy to say: "If you would please allow me time to focus on this one task right now, I will give you my undivided attention when I'm done." If they honor you with your request, it's only fair to honor them with your promise.

Setting boundaries is crucial for a healthy balance. It's about realising that a 'no' is a 'yes' to something else. That helps to stop feeling guilty about saying no. Additionally, there are so many ways to set boundaries without actually saying 'no': "I'd love to help you out, which I could do then - would that work for you?" "I don't htink I'm the best person for you, maybe X could help you because xyz?"

Batching time will allow you to feel like you put attention to a variety of tasks, projects. Helping you to feel like you're chipping away at each task a little at a time. Picking certain days to hold your appointments or work on longer projects that require more time, will help you to feel dedicated and more focused on your meetings and projects. This also includes blocking off time for relaxation, fun, family for a more balance life. It really depends on your situation and your priorities.

Time-blocking to work on key tasks helps you accomplish your goals. Block time when you are most productive by shutting off email and devices to leverage deep work without interruption. You will be more efficient and produce higher quality work, leaving more time for physical exercise and leisure activities.

Our lives are so fast paced that we may be taking on a lot of stress without even knowing it! We are so quick to put our phones on the charger when we see that the battery is about to die, but what about your own battery? Sounds a little funny when you think about it like this, but so true - we need to take a moment to recharge. Still resistant to take a moment to breathe during the day? How about first thing in the morning before the day starts racing? Or perhaps the last thing before sleep to help "quiet down the day?" We owe it to ourselves to take a moment, relax. We all got this!

The best way to manage stress is to: 1. build nervous system resilience and 2. take control of your thoughts and beliefs. Establish foundational practices and have emergency tools ready for crisis situations. Foundational practices may include: - Brain retraining and visualization - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for thoughts, beliefs, and emotions regulation - Mind-body practices such as yoga and breathwork Emergency tools can include: - Simple breathwork techniques - Positive anchoring methods - Somatic practices

Asking for help is a sign of courage and strength. It shows you know yourself, your needs and are looking to take things on. That is a strength.

Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness; it's actually a bold move that can change your life. When we reach out for support, we honor our own needs and demonstrate the strength it takes to acknowledge our limits and vulnerabilities. This openness not only helps us grow but also fosters deeper connections with others, showing them it's okay to be vulnerable and seek assistance too. Together, we become stronger, lifting each other up and creating a supportive community where everyone thrives!

We don't learn from experiences; we learn from reflecting on experiences! Advise your client to document what they're going through: take note of observations, thoughts, and feelings. Then, revisit those notes when they are calmer and less involved in the process itself. What did they learn about themselves? Their skills? Their values? Their purpose? Their comfort zone? What gives them physical, mental and emotional energy?
