Before we even get started, I want to emphasize the importance of capturing a feeling of balance rather than relying solely on metrics. It’s about finding what works for you and brings you joy. This is what’s currently working for me in this summer season!


(Ridiculously) Simplified Dinner Menu

One of my favorite things right now is a simplified summer dinner menu. You can catch me at Costco searching for all the easy and pre-made meals. Then more likely, you won’t even see me at Costco because I”m just going to InstaCart our weekly dinner menu to my front door.

Lately we’ve been loving spinach salad, rotisserie chicken, carnitas tacos, and cauliflower pizza. Keeping dinner simple allows me to save time and feel more balanced, knowing that I can still enjoy a delicious and nutritious meal with my family (because you know how important that is to me) without spending hours in the kitchen.

Creating White Space

Another favorite thing of mine is giving myself white space and downtime. I’ve been enjoying the freedom to make impromptu plans (day dates with my hubby) and having more time for activities like reading novels, which isn’t something I usually do. I usually focus on business and personal development books, and it’s been so refreshing this summer to flip through the pages of novels during my downtime. It’s a great way to relax and escape into a different world for a little while.

Time to Unplug

Now, let’s talk about the power of unplugging. I recently had the opportunity to go on a trip to Lake Powell where there was no phone service. Let me tell you, it felt amazing to disconnect from technology and have real conversations with my people! Unplugging from social media and giving myself room to be in my own thoughts has been incredibly rejuvenating. It’s a reminder that there’s so much more to life than what we see on our screens.

Getting Outside

And finally, spending time outside has been a game-changer for me. Especially during the summer, being in the sunshine and enjoying nature contributes to that sense of balance and calm. Whether it’s going for a hike, having a picnic in the park, or simply taking a walk around the neighborhood, being outdoors has a way of grounding me and reminding me of the beauty that surrounds us.

To wrap it all up, I want to leave you with this:
“Finding balance is not about doing it all, but about doing what truly matters to you.”

I encourage you to find what truly matters to you and incorporate those things into your life and join me on this journey towards a more balanced and fulfilling life.
