What’s in your picture frame?
Hello! I hope you’ve been enjoying the summer so far. 🌞
Do you capture favorite memories by putting them in a picture frame? They represent the things that are part of your life right? And I bet I could guess what you love about your life by the pictures you have.
To have a balanced life, I've always imagined mine in a picture frame. I then cut it up into many different pieces, so say there are 12 spaces.
What things in your life occupy those spaces? How many spaces do you have? Here’s mine, as an example:
For each space, I would delve a little deeper into what each word represents. So in my self care space - I do my nails, make sure I am well rested, and eat healthy. With friends - it’s girl trips, quality time and lots of laughter.
You've heard about being balanced and it’s because it's super important. I believe when you aren’t - it can keep you up at night. Your relationship might be thriving but your bank account is in a deficit. Maybe you have lots of financial abundance but your emotional needs feel unmet. You have great friends but haven't spoken to your sister in 2 years.
Looking at your life in this way, allows for clarity on where to focus for potential change or tweaking.
My favorite part of looking at my life in this way, is if one of these things falter or change, my whole life isn’t affected, just the one space. Imagine if your frame only has 3 spaces. If one of those things left or were taken away, your world would be largely impacted.
I don’t believe a balanced life necessarily means putting equal amounts of time in each space, but knowing each space is successful and you are happy and satisfied with the contents of your frame.
Have a great day!
Love always,
Kristi 💖
