Get a Life Balanced!

Change - something we can't control.  I bet you are just like me - great plans and then...life happens.  This will explain the gap between the podcasts and the lessons learn.  You should be able to benefit too to help with life balance.

Funny Stories! The kids are small for such a SHORT time and they say and do the funniest things!  A warning now is to capture those precious moments by creating an ISM book.  As they grow they will ask you to share sweet memories and you don't want to say "It was a BLUR!".  Those little stories will go with them to anchor the love and history of your family.

Do you ever feel out of balance because you have a problem saying NO?  People will take advantage and then there is no time left for you and your family.  So listen to these Six Savvy Ways to do it. Don’t get over booked on committees or overused as a volunteer. Know how to handle solicitors at your door and on the phone. Understand how NOT to host ALL the family events and much more – these tools REALLY work!  Not only does Sheryl teach them, she uses them...almost daily!

This is a fun tool Sheryl has used at home for years.  Instead of doing, you can now ask and educate your family members about what it takes to care for their house.  The form available on the Get a Life Balanced website is called "You Just Inherited the House."  Don't take the easy way out and clean by yourself because it's easier than asking or listening to complaints.  Educate and give them a tool that will benefit them when THEY have a place (or dorm room) of their own!

Would you like to be closer to your grandkids? And not just in miles?  How do you leave a legacy with those children that makes a difference in their lives?  And I've had a couple people ask..."What if you DON'T have any grandchildren, how can I use this?"  Use it with all the children that you value and give them what is priceless, your time.

This personal interview starts on the beach with my brother Doug Hoffman and then I return back in the studio with more creative ideas of ways to connect and stay connected with those precious children, no matter what their age.  Listen, enjoy, and then subscribe.  You can also connect on our Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/GetaLifeBalanced/
