 ↡ FINDING BALANCE ↡ Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed by your own schedule wishing you had more balance in your life? How about simply just finding time for the things you want to create time for?  I often hear people saying, "You have to give something up to get balance." I'm gonna throw a curve ball and say the opposite actually...how about just one concept, one way of tweaking the brain toward finding fulfillment in what BALANCE means to you. The minute I switched my brain to leading with intention and purpose, was a pivotal moment for me. I remember being a newer stylist, sitting around and waiting for the busy bus to roll in.

I have not only learned to develop, but now thrive when I wait till the last minute to create.  Now I am no expert and this is all an observation through years of stress, late nights, self-pity, and YEP...procrastination.  Sooooo....now comes the time to prepare yourself to NOT procrastinate. Lets jot things down in list form to keep it simple! 1. Create space to plan. Make a commitment you cant refuse by setting a reoccurring event for yourself alone! Hey, I didn't say this would be easy, but common we are all given the same amount of time every day. Make this a priority and set your ongoing date, say once a week, to quietly slip away fo...
