#14 - Finding the sweet spot between apathy and control
I strive for that sweet spot. The space between apathy and overcontrol, between sticking your head in the sand and beating yourself up over something, between perfectionism and doing things without a care. It’s a balance. Always. Every day. Every hour. But it’s worth it.
Today I share my ideal work day, why getting to know yourself and working with your energy instead of against it are the first steps in living an intentional, joy-filled life, and how I know when to give myself grace and when to push past my resistance.
I love hearing about how others structure their days and lives to allow for more creativity and more integrity while not tipping over into too much control. That sweet spot!
I love it so much, and I suspect you might too, that it will be a constant companion to this podcast. Exploring what brings joy and vibrancy to another’s life and actionable steps on adding that to our own journeys; in whatever ways feel right.
Share with me your routines, ceremonies, and structures that support you! I’ll share it on the podcast. tina@kinshiphandwork.com
