EIGHT STEPS TO GUIDE YOU THROUGH THE INFORMATION AND SKILLS NEEDED TO LIVE A BALANCED, THRIVING LIFE

01.

GOALS AND DREAMS

Your vision for the future guides how you are growing and developing in the present. Work on forming a “Life List” to pursue your best life!

02.

WILLPOWER

Dial up your sense of accomplishment and dial down your regrets in daily life by learning evidence based information on willpower and the brain!

03.

MENTAL STRENGTH

Learn how to not only manage stress well, but effectively shift from a distressed state to a productive state of mind using a few simple exercises.

04.

PHYSICAL WELL-BEING

Physical well-being includes, but goes beyond good nutrition and regular exercise. Learn about kicking back on a sedentary lifestyle and what you can do the lower the body’s stress hormone, cortisol, that can wreak havoc on your system.

05.

MEANING AND PURPOSE

Life satisfaction is found in living a meaningful life…not just a pleasant one. Positive psychologists define a meaningful life as “using your signature strengths in service to something bigger than yourself.” We can infuse meaning into life by knowing our core values and strengths and drawing these into the micromoments of daily life.

06.

POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS

“All you need is LOVE!” There is some truth to these lyrics to that old song, but love is anything but simple and really what we are saying is we need connection and positive resonance with other people on a regular basis. Stress and our busy lives seem to block us from meeting this need. In our modern world, we need to learn how to shift into a mode that is open to connection so that we can make the most out of our encounters with other people.

07.

EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION

Communication is so much more than just talking and listening. The state you are in and the state the other person is in can block the flow of information before you even begin. Learning modes of communication that can offer authentic empathy to someone who is stressed and other techniques to inspire cooperation and connection are very important today.

08.

PRODUCTIVE EMOTION

Emotion, no matter if it is positive or negative, is a source of energy that can drive us toward productive action or connection with other people. Using emotion productively is a key to success in any area of life! Productive emotion is the final topic covered in the life in balance program because we need all the other skills and information to harness and use emotion in a productive way.

What Clients Are Saying

"Setting and completing goals, refilling my will power, SIFTING – LOVE THIS, how to use humor a little more in my life. I feel I have the tools and knowledge to help me get out of a slump. I use shifting almost daily and it’s helped me reduce my stress and keep on track with my goals. I don’t get derailed from my goals because I’ve become overwhelmed or upset about the wrench thrown in my goals. I also learned how to refill my will power which has done wonders for helping me get through homework in the afternoon. I love this."

SAM

“The Life In Balance Program was extremely valuable to me both personally and professionally to focus on living a thriving live all around and acknowledging the concept of ‘whole person health’ as it extends across an entire day and thus does incorporate into business. The strategies and practices that are reviewed as part of this program are both good reminders of prior knowledge and understanding as well as new information and new ways to look at experiences moving forward.”

Julia

"The program is very valuable, the best collection of self-improvement practices I’ve discovered all organized into a cohesive, block building, strategy accompanied with expert professional support. Priceless stuff compared to my favorite books on similar subjects which now seem like small pieces of a much bigger picture. The course gave me a framework to look at my life goals, my work, and my passions and the tools and support to make meaningful, healthy, and balanced improvements in the areas I have otherwise struggled to identify or work on."
