Welcome to Day 1 of the 21 Day Work-Life Harmony Challenge!

Remember, there are 3 steps to work-life harmony:

 

1. Mindset Shift

2. Free Up Time

3. Reserve Space for All of You

✨ Today we begin with Step 1: The Mindset Shift — abandoning the belief that success requires self-sacrifice. 

This shift is about refusing to lose who you are in the pursuit of success.You are defined by your core values. Sacrificing yourself erodes the boundaries that protect them — leading to burnout, resentment, and disconnection.

🌸 To start your mindset shift today, simply:

1. 🌟Identify your core values

   What do you hold sacred? Family, faith, health, peace?Write them down — these are the pillars of who you are.

2. 🛡️Set the boundaries that protect your core values

   For each core value, write down one boundary you will honor going forward. 💖Here's an example: For me, time with my 5-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter is sacred.

   • Value: Family time is sacred. Life is short and my children are only small once.

   • Boundary: No work on weekends or after 5pm. 

     
     

3. 💪 Enforce those boundaries using “no” language that feels natural to you. You might say: “I won’t be available this evening — let’s regroup tomorrow.” or “That’s important. Let’s revisit it during my next work window so I can give it my full focus.”

🌿 Each time you protect your boundaries, remind yourself:

“I don’t have to lose myself to succeed.”

For the next 7 days:

1.  write down your core values,

2.  set at least one boundary for each, and

3. protect them with confidence using "no" langauge.

Your work-life harmony begins here. Say "yes" to you! Best wishes, always,
