Scheduled fun is something people often forget about when they think about changing their lives. 

When you are a workaholic, addicted to achievements type of person - you don’t always think scheduling FUN as something you would need.
 This means you make time for things you find fun the same way you make time for showering, walking your dogs, feeding your kids. You raise FUN to that level of importance.


Start saying yes to you! Let's talk boundaries and what that means because it is REALLY important to self-care and burning out. 
We can NEVER fully realize our desires when we keep denying what we want for others. I am saying yes to me not no to others.


The number one thing I hear from busy bees is that they have no time. But get real with yourself: do you REALLY not have 10 minutes for yourself? Many don’t have balanced days - they have FRANTIC DAYS. We have to reposition ourselves into the action seat and get back our lives. Therefore, how can you ensure you fuel up throughout the day and have energy? How can you make sure you are balanced? PERIODIC SELF CARE CHECK INS. Therefore, you HAVE TO FIND TIME FOR YOURSELF.

The problem for over achievers is not knowing when to stop. The never ending dilemma of am I pushing myself too hard or am I in need of a push. I often struggle with this dilemma of showing up when you don’t want to versus pushing yourself too hard. Success can be achieved with rest and showing up when you don’t want to refers to limiting beliefs not actual need for rest!

Competition is a love/hate thing for me… being competitive has gotten me a long way. However, competition, if toxic, is detrimental to your self-care and also can lead to burnout, things I tend to like to talk about. You will get NOWHERE if you spend all your time trying to “keep up with everyone else” and “beat other people.” It can help you in a short term goal, but in the long run it will burn you out. It ultimately always brings out the worst in you.

Your mind can really be a real jerk. In the last 3 years of my transformation I went from being very stuck in my head and burned out to the present where I am grounded, have control over my thoughts and I enjoy my life and job. What changed for me in the past three years was how I thought about all those things. My roadblock to happiness was my own damn mind. That is why it is important to start reframing and believing you can do things.
