This simple whole-living balance assessment is my favorite way to start off a new year or any new season! I am beyond excited to dive into today’s episode. If you’ve been feeling a bit off lately—whether it’s in your marriage, your business goals, or even just the way your favorite jeans are fitting—this one’s for you. We’re not just going to get you back on track; we’re going to do it in a way that’s sustainable and can truly stick.

Now, let me share a little secret with you. I used to be the kind of person who went all in on everything. I’d jump headfirst into new endeavors with unmatched enthusiasm, but the problem was I couldn’t maintain it. And then came the game-changer:

Thrive, Not Just Survive

In today’s episode, I’ll walk you through this assessment that I’ve been using for the past eight years—yes, eight! It’s a tool I designed for myself and my coaching clients, and trust me, it has made a remarkable difference. But before we dive in, let me give you a glimpse into the philosophy behind it.

I’ve always wanted to thrive, not just survive, but the key was figuring out what thriving meant for me. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t mean excelling in every single area because, let’s face it, being at the top of your game in every aspect of life is a Herculean task. The real key, as I discovered, lies in maintaining balance.

I see the different areas of my life as individual bracings holding up a mountainside. Letting go entirely in one area creates imbalance, akin to a rockslide. And here’s the game-changer: progress should be slow, intentional, and at a pace you can sustain. As someone who’s naturally all in, this shift was tough, but oh, was it worth it.

So, let’s break down the two crucial lessons I’ve learned:

  1. Thriving in Every Area: Feeling good in all aspects of life doesn’t mean perfection. It means achieving forward motion in each area.
  2. Small Needle Movers: Small, sustainable steps in areas that need focus lead to more significant, longer-lasting progress than grand, unsustainable actions.

I get it; the idea of not jumping all in might feel awkward and hard, especially if you’re an “all in” personality like me. But trust me, the impact is profound.

Purpose Driven Life Assessment

Now, let’s get into the heart of the Purpose Driven Living Assessment. We’ll evaluate eight key areas of your life and rank them from 1 to 10. 1 is utter despair, while 10 is total bliss. These areas are:

  1. Marriage/Relationship
  2. Motherhood/Key Relationships
  3. Home
  4. Exercise and Health
  5. Fun/Travel/Recreation
  6. Business/Career
  7. Finances and Wealth
  8. Spirituality

Once you’ve ranked each area, identify the bottom three. These are the ones that need your attention first. But here’s the game-changer: your goal is only to move up one point. We’re talking about small, intentional steps that you can stack on top of each other.

Progress Over Perfection

Remember, thriving isn’t about achieving perfection. It’s about progress and intentionality. So, I encourage you to revisit this assessment regularly. You can even download the full assessment at assessment.balancingbusy.com to keep it handy for your regular check-ins.

By incorporating small, intentional steps, you’ll gradually replace the chaos of busyness with the richness of a life well-lived. Imagine the impact these tiny needle movers can make in just 30 days, 90 days, or a year from now.
