Welcome to this 7-part series on creating consistent balance in your life.Did you know that 2 out of 3 people believe their lives were out of balance? That is not a fun statistic. As someone that can get out of balance and put too much focus on work, this statistic hits home for me. Because of this, I think it's important to me to keep a pulse on how I'm doing at maintaining a reasonable balance in my life. Realistically, we will never be fully balanced for long periods of time, but we can be aware of where things are off. In this 7-part series, we will look at seven ways to create consistent balance in your life. Realistically, I understand there will always be ups and downs, highs and lows but I expect of myself (and hopefully you do for yourself as well) a moderate level of consistent balance in my life. I use the word BALANCE to give you seven topics to think about and for you to focus on to help you maintain a reasonable balance in your life. The first is behavior.B is for BehaviorIf you want to improve

What is accountability? Too many people have negative connotations when they think of accountability. But what if it could help you if you are feeling lonely or drive you toward more success, improve your decision making, and help you change your circumstances. In the SAGE Mindset Course, this is the perspective we have on accountability. In this episode, I want to give you a powerful formula to help you implement accountability in your life more purposefully and with great success. The encouraging thing about this formula is you are already applying all 4 parts to your life and relationships. I want to help you do it more purposefully. Learn the power of the Accountability PASS and how to successfully apply it to your life and relationships. Music on this episode:We Feel by tubebackrhttps://soundcloud.com/tubebackr

In this episode, I interview Serge Samoylenko and we take a look at the power of creativity. In this fun interview, we cover the importance of creativity in running a business, how to harness your own creativity, and much more. Serge is a friend of mine and has helped me with much of the graphics you see around the SAGE Mindset Course. He has inspired me to tap into my creative resources and I think he will inspire you to do the same. 

In the past year, 74% of people have felt so stressed they have been overwhelmed or unable to cope.That is a scary statistic. But we can all admit we've been there before. In this episode, I share one thing you can do for 15-minutes a week to relieve the pressure of all the tasks and things you need to get done so that you can freely think. When you do this simple weekly task, you will begin to take control of your time and harness the talent that is within you in much more effective ways. 

People deal with frustration, anger, anxiety, and similar emotions in two basic ways. Some steam off like a teapot while others let it build up inside like a pressure cooker. In this episode, I explain the difference to help you identify which one you are. Then we look at how to use this knowledge to help you steam off in your own specific way and help others to do the same. By the time you're done listening to this episode, you'll have a whole new perspective on teapots and pressure cookers! Music On This EpisodeWe Feel by tubebackrhttps://soundcloud.com/tubebackr

In this episode, we look at how the cluttering of our minds is causing us to miss out on our mission and calling in life. You and I were uniquely designed but our minds (the creative mechanism we have been given) are clouded and cluttered with the busy-ness of life, worries, and false beliefs. What if this did have to be true? What if you could have a system that overcame these obstacles and allowed your mind to do what it was meant to do? Create, enjoy, and fulfill your calling. This is totally possible. It requires specific habits, systems, and tools but all of us can live with a clear and creative mind. Let me show you how and why doing this is worth your time and effort. If you want to schedule a discovery call and dive deeply into how to declutter your life and mind, please click the link below. https://gillettesolutions.com/discoverycall   Music On This Episode By:We Feel by tubebackr | https://soundcloud. com/tubebackrMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com
