A 3-step process for living more, working less, and lightening your mental load with Rebecca Blackburn
We’ve all been there before….
Maybe you’ve got what feels like a hundred plates spinning in the air, and one of them is about to come crashing down.
Or maybe your business is going really well, but it’s taking over your entire life — and you’re struggling to find time for what’s most important.
Whatever the situation may be for you, feeling like you’re underwater isn’t a good place to be. If you let that feeling go unaddressed for too long, it could potentially lead to burnout and resentment towards your business — and we definitely don’t want that!
So when you’re completely maxed out, it’s crucially important that you take a pause, assess what’s happening, and get back into alignment.
Here to help you in doing that is Rebecca Blackburn. She’s a highly sought after life coach who helps overwhelmed female entrepreneurs restructure their lives so they can work less, live more, and still achieve success at the highest level.
Rebecca’s going to share a simple 3-step process that will help you regain ownership of your life, and take intentional action on how it’s going to look moving forward.
Tune in to hear:
- How to identify what’s most important in your life, and prioritize it
- The bad habits you might not realize you’re doing that are only wasting your time
- Tips on how to lighten the ‘mental load’ that many women bear
- How to get rid of the guilt you feel when you don’t get to everything on your to-do list
Plus much, much more! I absolutely loved this conversation with Rebecca, and it’s my hope that you take away just as much from it as I did.
Here’s a glance at this episode…
- [05:31] It's Rebecca’s passion to help women reignite their entrepreneur energy and channel it to execute with purpose and inspiration.
- [06:41] Hitting the hustle wall is where the excitement fades. Rebecca helps women move away from that wall and reevaluate so they can move forward.
- [09:30] Before becoming a life coach, Rebecca operated two highly successful brick and mortar businesses.
- [12:24] Step 1: Create your want list. When you put it to paper it feels more calming. Now you can see your big goals.
- [16:46] We ignore things when we have too much waste on our calendar. Figure out what you want and clear out the rest.
- [21:13] Step 2: Create a quit list. You can quit doing things, bad habits, and even mental blocks.
- [26:26] The mental load of carrying invisible intangible tasks that revolve around running a household. These tasks most often fall on the shoulders of women.
- [27:35] Remember that the mental load is mental. Putting blame and feeling like you're burdened with everything gives you a victim mentality.
- [30:17] To take some things off of your plate, you need to be able to communicate. Own what you do and then begin to organize it.
- [31:54] Step 3: Write down your to-do list and put a time beside each activity. This removes the overwhelming thoughts from your mind.
- [33:43] Add up all the time on your list and compare it to the times that you actually have. What moves the needle? What brings you fulfillment? What can you delete, delay, or delegate?
- [36:51] Don't avoid scheduling, because you think you have to be perfect. It's okay if you don't get everything done. Focus on getting your priorities done.
