Now, clear relaxation is the spine of my enterprise. It grounds me. It offers me the braveness to place my concepts on the market, even once they’re not excellent. And it’s the explanation I haven’t burned out in over three years, even whereas making more cash than ever and navigating motherhood.

Hello, and welcome to a different episode of The Perfectionism Challenge. A podcast filled with perfectionism recommendation for entrepreneurs. My title is Sam Laura Brown, I assist entrepreneurs launch their perfectionism handbrake, to allow them to get out of their very own approach and construct a satisfying and worthwhile enterprise. I’m the founding father of the perfectionist getting shit performed group teaching program, which is in any other case often known as PGSD. And for much more perfectionism recommendation that will help you with your corporation, you’ll be able to observe me on Instagram @perfectionismproject.
On this episode, the ultimate episode within the clear relaxation sequence, I’m going to be sharing a bit about my clear relaxation journey, the way it has advanced through the years, the other ways it’s appeared as I’ve been in several phases of life and enterprise as effectively. And I hope this simply will get you desirous about how one can take extra clear relaxation, like what that might seem like for you. And I additionally need to point out what I rise up to, once I’m in my clear relaxation time.
And I’ve coached quite a lot of PGSDers on this just lately that we is usually a bit perfectionistic, about clear relaxation time, and that it must be this excellent, guilt free time the place we’re not doing something productive in any respect. And actually, I need you to be desirous about clear relaxation, particularly to start with, as simply time the place you might be deciding that it’s not an choice to work on your corporation. And to let any guilt that is likely to be there be there.
After which as you evolve and go on this journey with clear relaxation, your individual journey with clear relaxation, you’ll begin to determine what counts for you as clear relaxation, within the sense that you just’re going to have that in your energy planning and clear relaxation time. After which what for you is definitely probably not a clear relaxation exercise. And it doesn’t actually matter that a lot. Crucial factor is that you’re deciding while you aren’t engaged on your corporation, in order that it’s straightforward in your mind to have a break.
It’s straightforward to be brave, as a result of you already know, a break is coming, it’s straightforward to be targeted, as a result of you already know, a break is coming in as a result of your mind is definitely getting that break. So it doesn’t should procrastinate otherwise you don’t should subconsciously burn your self out with the intention to get per week off. And I really posted on Instagram Tales this morning about the way it’s not really exhausting to create separation between your corporation and your private life.
There’s lots of people and I was certainly one of them, who would say that it’s actually difficult to create separation, particularly while you do business from home. And also you’re simply working by your self for your self, and you’re employed so near your bed room, and you may put a load of laundry on as you’re working. And it’s really not exhausting to create separation, it’s actually only a matter of deciding. And sometimes like once we’re working for another person the boss decides.
And so it feels simpler in that scenario as a result of another person has determined, however we are able to simply make that call for ourselves. And once I was reflecting on my journey with clear relaxation, with the intention to document this episode, I used to be simply pondering how one of many methods my I don’t know, my relationship with my enterprise and myself has advanced is that I now discover it straightforward to create separation. And that doesn’t imply it’s not one thing I’m nonetheless engaged on and determining. But it surely does imply that I understand how to attract a line within the sand.
And I understand how to create completion for myself on the finish of each single work day. And really on Monday this week, I didn’t really feel that approach. And I used to be like, that is such a bizarre feeling. For me, I used to really feel like this on a regular basis that I’d get to the tip of a workday and really feel like I used to be form of half in issues and that issues weren’t actually full. In direction of now with energy planning and clear relaxation. And utilizing these issues to pursue my progress aim,
I get to the tip of each work day regardless of how productive or generally unproductive that day was. And I really feel a way of completion and I’m in a position to change off and simply benefit from the night time and the times that I’ve off and all of that regardless of how a lot is happening within the enterprise, if it’s a very busy time. Or if it’s not, I’m in a position to have that separation, as a result of I’m deciding to have the separation that so if that’s one thing you’ve been scuffling with, and you might be somebody who that I used to do, I’d be working after which I’d placed on a load of laundry after which I’d eat at my desk, which I do do each on occasion.
However I’d all the time eat lunch at my desk like I simply wouldn’t let myself have any form of break and I used to be all the time simply half in enterprise and half in my life on a regular basis. And actually clear relaxation has allowed me to have that separation. That’s I simply need to point out that to additional promote you on the ability of fresh relaxation, which is what this sequence has been about. And I need to ensure you know as effectively earlier than I get into issues.
PGSD we’re opening the doorways from t6am New York time on the 4th of April and shutting at 11:59pm New York time on the eleventh of April. So we’re open for per week. And inside PGSD, you’re going to have the ability to set your progress aim which goes to be your north star and assist you determine what’s essential and what isn’t. And that alone goes to offer you a lot energy to get clear relaxation since you received’t hold feeling like all the pieces is essential.
Then you’ll be taught energy planning and clear relaxation and you’ll really observe that you just’ll make the three month dedication to energy planning and you may be working towards scheduling your needle movers up working towards getting your clear relaxation, you’d be getting teaching, you’ll be getting assist, you’ll be speaking to different PGSDers, who’re additionally doing their energy planning to pursue their progress aim and getting clear relaxation.
And it’s actually going to have you ever not simply understanding about clear relaxation and be like, yeah, I undoubtedly ought to do extra of that, to truly doing it. In order that you’ll be able to totally present up for your self and your corporation, you’ll be able to like there’s so many advantages, such as you’ll be capable of make selections, huge and small with out second guessing and overthinking, you’ll be following by way of in your plans and even the brave scary issues or that like tedious admin issues for your corporation that you just simply hold pushing off and pushing off, you’ll really be doing them you’ll be feeling on the finish of every day, organized and productive.
And like I used to be speaking about that feeling that I now I’m simply so used to it, it’s really loopy to assume that that feeling I by no means used to have, which is like I did all the pieces I wanted to do like all the pieces is finished. I’ve like tied a bow on high. And although there are initiatives nonetheless ongoing, and like that is the factor with enterprise, proper? There’s all the time extra you may be doing. And so we’ve got to be those to determine, sure, there’s extra I might be doing however I’m not doing extra. That is sufficient.
And that basically is the important thing if you’re and that is perfectionist, we’re pondering that when or adequate, if we’re pondering that what we’re doing isn’t adequate both. Prefer it simply feeds that story of inadequacy. And that’s the story that we’re getting out of, and we’re creating a unique story for ourselves. That actually is the work that we do inside PGSD. So it’s actually essential that you just start to let sufficient be sufficient and never all the time hold placing an increasing number of and extra in your plate or simply abandon your plans altogether, as a result of it simply appears like an excessive amount of strain.
It’s actually about having your progress aim. And with the ability to pursue that ambitiously without having to sacrifice clear relaxation or your private life. And with out it being actually like when it says strain and there’s stress. And quite a lot of occasions we expect like if we’re pressured and harassed a few aim, that we have to simply let go of the aim. And that that’s the lesson, I simply have to let go of the aim and simply present up the very best I can.
And I actually, if that’s one thing you’ve been contemplating doing, I actually need to invite you to think about that there’s really an alternative choice, it’s not all or nothing, you both have the aim and also you’re tremendous harassed about it and also you pressured about it and also you hustle your approach there. Effectively, you don’t have a aim and also you simply form of blow within the breeze, what we’re doing is we’ve got our aim and we learn to pursue it with clear relaxation with honoring ourselves, and what’s essential to us in our lives.
And in addition the work that we’re doing in our enterprise. And with out burning out with out it having to only be this like self price take a look at. Numerous occasions we use objectives as a take a look at to see if we’re worthy sufficient. After which we simply utterly ignore any accomplishments, or any progress alongside the best way. And we by no means really feel like we’re measuring up no surprise as a result of our mind is simply deciphering all the pieces as insufficient. So actually, that’s the work we do in PGSD. So I need to invite you and samlaurabrown.com/pgsd, the hyperlink might be for you within the present notes, too.
And should you’re listening to this, when it’s going out, the doorways might be opening very quickly. So ensure you be a part of us for this enrollment interval. As a result of it actually goes to make such a distinction in the best way you do enterprise and the best way you do life. And also you’re going to have the ability to take what you’ve got realized in advertising and marketing packages and manifestation programs and all these issues and truly be doing the issues and making use of them like you already know what you might want to do to construct your corporation.
And that is all about having you really do these issues, and getting out of your individual approach in order that that may occur. So with all of that stated, clearly very keen about it, I need to work with you inside PGSD and actually show you how to to create that transformation for your self. And yeah, so I’m going to maintain telling you about it. So I need to let you know about my clear relaxation journey, simply so you may get a little bit of an concept as effectively about how it’ll evolve.
And that possibly for you, that is the start of your journey with clear relaxation, possibly you might be already on that journey. But it surely’s so essential that you just give your self permission to evolve with this and that you just don’t anticipate your self to be excellent at it, no matter which means from day one. And to additionally know it’ll look totally different at totally different phases of enterprise and totally different phases of life. And this is the reason once we’re energy planning, we’ve got our weekly evaluate. In order that we are able to really be taking note of whether or not the quantity of fresh relaxation we’re getting is working.
That’s one of many issues we take a look at. And if it isn’t to create a speculation as to what would work higher and to experiment with that. And in order that’s actually how my clear relaxation journey has advanced, is that I’ve been taking note of is it working for me? And will I make it work higher for me? After which when the reply to that has been that it might be higher than I’ve created a speculation as to love, hey, possibly I’ll get extra clear relaxation within the morning or within the afternoons or all these various things.
After which I’ve examined that. And I’ve been in a position to see the outcomes of that take a look at with my weekly evaluate, like really evaluating my week. And studying how to do this in a approach the place we’re not like beating ourselves up, or searching for all the pieces that’s mistaken. That’s not what we’re doing within the weekly evaluate, a lot of it’s really coaching our mind to see so many issues that went effectively that we in any other case dismiss and ignore. So that’s actually the way it has advanced.
And so taking you again to the start of my journey with clear relaxation, and I might need talked about this within the episode, I recorded in 2019, about clear relaxation, which I shared once more, at the start of this clear relaxation sequence, that it actually began for me as a uni scholar that I simply an should you don’t know, I’ve a legislation diploma and a finance diploma. And it’s very straightforward with examine, when you’ve got studied, possibly you’ve got a level or two as effectively, that it’s very straightforward to be on this mentality of like, there’s all the time extra examine to be performed. And sometimes we simply take that mentality into enterprise.
So I had that mentality of like, there’s all the time extra to be performed. And I all the time felt responsible once I wasn’t finding out. And it simply didn’t have me being productive in any respect. And I used to be I imply, I used to be doing effectively in uni, don’t get me mistaken. And this can be a factor, quite a lot of occasions we do do effectively, however I used to be burning up on a regular basis, like each single semester. So I began actually experimenting with clear relaxation, I didn’t name it clear relaxation on the time. However I simply acknowledged that if I compelled myself to take day without work. And I needed to go to the seashore each weekend.
And I acknowledged that like I did have time in the course of the week, as a result of I didn’t really feel like I had sufficient time ever. I did have time. And I might be determined about what I wanted to do and what I really didn’t have to do. And so if I had the weekends off, I can’t bear in mind precisely if it was a weekend or someday, however I had compelled day without work. Even when I had no plans, I needed to take this day without work. And it helped me be a lot extra productive in the course of the week. As a result of I really like had a deadline for myself as an alternative of simply this like lengthy stretch of time the place it was like, there’s all the time extra to be performed.
And also you all the time have extra time. So you’ll be able to all the time depart it till tomorrow. And so on this scenario, I used to be like, Effectively, I don’t have the weekend to make amends for ought to I didn’t do in the course of the week, so I higher get it performed in the course of the week. And that was once I actually began to only discover how once I particularly once I didn’t really feel like I had sufficient time including relaxation into my calendar. And I can’t even bear in mind I didn’t look again that far, I don’t assume I used to be planning within the calendar. I’ve undoubtedly like at the moment round.
And I’d began experimenting with time blocking and like strolling from my calendar. However I wasn’t actually like I undoubtedly wasn’t doing energy planning. So I used to be simply noticing that this was like the primary seed of like, oh, I really get extra performed. After I pressure myself to take day without work. And once I’m not feeling responsible on a regular basis that I’m not doing sufficient examine, as a result of once I was feeling responsible, I wasn’t doing sufficient examine, then when it was time to take a seat down and examine, you’ll be able to wager I wasn’t being tremendous productive. I used to be simply form of like procrastinating and like scrolling.
After which possibly like I spent quite a lot of time making my notes for my assignments and exams and that form of factor. Like condensing the knowledge and making my notes actually fairly, like ensuring the formatting was stunning. In my Phrase doc of like, that was what I spent quite a lot of my time doing. And it simply, it wasn’t a needle mover. So then, quick ahead to 2018 like, so. I’m not gonna go into my full enterprise story with this. However I feel that was round from reminiscence like 2014 2015 that I used to be like, okay, relaxation really is essential.
And I profit once I don’t have 24/7 to work on one thing. So then I, I form of forgot about that, enterprise smart, after which 2018. So at that time, I’d left my full time accounting job, I used to be working half time at an area hospital as a receptionist. And I like acknowledged once more, like, oh, wait, that was that factor about relaxation, that relaxation is basically useful. And so I began including in someday off per week and I really simply had a glance again by way of my calendar. And I had this in my calendar in direction of the tip of 2018 just like the second half. And really I bear in mind what sparked this now it was Tim Ferriss and him speaking about work for work sake within the 4 hour work week.
And I used to be like, Okay, I try this and like I have to do one thing about it. In order that was once I began experimenting with that and I simply had it as relaxation and restoration in my calendar. And in addition like my calendar is so patchy as a result of when you find yourself energy planning, like my calendar, it it now displays what occurred and there are some days the place it’s identical to clear relaxation the entire day and there’s no extra element than identical to clear relaxation. However like I’m really maintaining observe of what was performed in my calendar.
Whereas earlier than once I was doing like time blocking totally different strategies like that, that I’d have stuff in my calendar, however then half of it wasn’t getting performed in like these huge gaps. And it identical to, was a unique scenario. However I had this like relaxation and restoration day that I feel on the time was like a repeat activity. And I undoubtedly didn’t really feel like I had sufficient time to do this, as a result of I used to be additionally working a component time job. And I used to be very a lot within the story of like, I don’t have sufficient time. And that was a part of what inspired me to restrict the time I had.
As a result of while you really feel such as you don’t have sufficient time, typically that may be a tremendous useful factor to do. And so he then in early 2019, once I was doing my energy planning, I may see someday per week that I used to be having, as effectively, as relaxation, I used to be nonetheless working half time at that cut-off date. And I had it in my calendar as relaxation day non negotiable in brackets, like a bit of reminder to myself, that I really have to relaxation, prefer it’s not an choice to work, it’s non negotiable relaxation time, as in time to not work on the enterprise. Then once I went full time in my enterprise in 2019, so halfway by way of 2019.
At that time, I used to be energy planning and like simply at the start of actually experimenting with that and like figuring that out, and actually simply determining learn how to plan in a approach that really labored for me and acquired my mindset on my aspect as an alternative of like I realized quite a lot of totally different calendaring strategies and issues like that. And so they simply weren’t working for me. And I really acquired a touch upon certainly one of my Instagram posts about energy planning yesterday the place somebody was saying, like, you already know, what calendar do you advocate, as a result of I simply haven’t been capable of finding one which doesn’t stress me out.
And it’s not the calendar that’s stressing you out, it’s a approach that you’re planning in your calendar. And you already know, I’ve been speaking about that loads with energy planning and about planning in a approach that really works in your perfectionist mindset as an alternative of in opposition to it. So simply needed to say that when you’ve got been somebody who’s like, I simply want to search out like a instrument within the sense of like, which calendaring app or you already know, which bodily planet wish to know that it’s really not the calendar itself or the planner itself, and that you might want to like be on this infinite hunt for the right one.
It’s actually about studying learn how to plan and handle your time and handle your thoughts in a approach that really works for you reasonably than it working in opposition to you. That’s the reason you’re feeling harassed and pressured and behind and overwhelmed. It’s to not do with like whether or not you’re utilizing iCal or Google Calendar or something like that. And clearly, all of us have our desire in terms of these sorts of issues. However it isn’t the calendars fault. It’s simply that you just’ve been following planning recommendation it doesn’t make for a perfectionist.
So once I was I’m making an attempt to assume even again to love in 2019 what I’d do in my clear relaxation time, however I’ll share extra about like what it presently appears to be like like. And I feel that may like seize quite a lot of issues. However I feel it was identical to studying and catching up with pals and like doing stuff round the home and like laundry or no matter. Like simply all of that form of factor. And my I’d say my clear relaxation journey actually took on a unique kind as soon as I acquired pregnant, after which when I’ve Lydia after which now as a mother to a few little ones, like that’s when it has actually advanced loads.
As a result of my way of life has modified and in addition what’s essential to me has modified and the way a lot relaxation I want additionally change as effectively like how a lot relaxation I’ve determined to have goes to look totally different for everybody. And this is the reason I’m PGSD we’re not going to let you know like you might want to have this many days relaxation or this many hours or, you already know, begin your workdays early and like you’ll be able to work everytime you need and also you’re going to determine that out with energy planning and your little tweaks in your weekly evaluate like when works greatest for you.
And I’m so grateful that weirdly at this cut-off date like as soon as I used to be pregnant after which I had Lydia after which to now that I had actually began to grasp how I work greatest and I key factor for me was actually recognizing that I like six hours of labor in a day like I’m speaking about brave or like mentally difficult issues after which possibly like a few hours of like add many issues that I have to do however six hours is about how a lot I can put right into a day by way of a workday even have the complete day like beforehand once I was doing stuff like time blocking.
That I’d have in my calendar, the complete day actually from like 6am till like 8pm, or in all probability even 10pm with duties in it. And I’d utterly underestimate how lengthy they’d take, there’ll be no wiggle room and my calendar, I wouldn’t need to replace my calendar both. As a result of I used to be very all or nothing about it, like if I felt behind I used to be behind, after which I simply ditched the entire thing. And that’s why once I look again at my calendar, my iCal, it’s so spotty, in like 2018, and that form of factor, as a result of that’s actually what I used to be doing.
So I’m so grateful. Like, I went by way of that, and actually realized, that didn’t work for me. However I actually had a deal with on how I work greatest what time of day, I labored greatest, and actually began to determine like what my preferrred work day, and form of rhythm appears to be like like for me. And I’m nonetheless engaged on that I’m nonetheless I like that, um, it’s nonetheless evolving, and life is all the time altering. And the enterprise is altering, too, all the time.
And so, yeah, it’s so essential to love, actually be in that progress mindset round this as a lot as you’ll be able to. And also you’ll get an increasing number of within the progress mindset round it. But it surely’s not this static factor of like, that is how I work greatest, that is once I relaxation greatest. It’s like, for now that is what’s working, and I’m gonna hold doing that. After which sooner or later in time, it may not be the most suitable choice for me anymore. And I’m keen and open to experimenting with that.
So once I acquired pregnant, I had nausea within the first trimester, which is quite common, I had quite a lot of guilt, as a result of I had nausea, however it wasn’t extreme. Prefer it simply form of felt like a light hangover. But it surely was all the time there for just like the six weeks or no matter, that I had it. However I simply felt so responsible, that I wasn’t doing extra as a result of there are individuals who like should you if I wasn’t working for myself, and I used to be working in a job that I’d have had no selection however to go to work, and I’d have simply needed to push by way of it. And I couldn’t get myself to push by way of it. And I attempted so exhausting.
And I form of really feel so responsible for not being productive, that with being pregnant, I used to be like, Okay, I really simply have to scrap my plans and put clear relaxation in my calendar and simply honor that, like, I’m making a human. And although if I used to be working for another person, like there are folks with like far more excessive nausea, like, as I stated, mine was fairly delicate, who’re working and like, there’ll be strolling in the necessity to like, go off to the toilet and vomit and are available again to working like simply because different folks have been doing that. Like I used to be making myself mistaken for the expertise that I used to be having.
And so what I ended up doing in November 2020, once I was in my first trimester, was identical to having the entire month just about of November off, and I like that it ended up being on the time, certainly one of our greatest months financially as a result of it actually simply solidified like, it’s protected to relaxation, it’s protected to take day without work, my complete enterprise isn’t gonna crumble. Like I actually felt like all the pieces was gonna crumble. And being pregnant after which having a baby who is basically simply displaying me that that isn’t the case of and I actually needed to belief that to have the ability to take the day without work and provides myself that however there are going to be totally different durations in your life.
And in your corporation. It is likely to be as a result of like me, you’re pregnant, after which having a baby and different issues. It is likely to be due to a well being situation of your individual or another person in your loved ones. Like there are such a lot of totally different causes that you just would possibly have to take day without work your corporation. And I feel it’s so essential to have a relationship with clear relaxation and intentional time away from your corporation the place it’s not like I’d work if I may, however I can’t. It’s like I’m deciding to not work that’s actually going that will help you honor your self and no matter it’s you’re going by way of or experiencing and honor your corporation as effectively.
So that you just’re not like oh, I want I might be there however I can’t however I want I may however I can’t and form of like on this self pity, victime vitality round it’s like I’m deciding to not work on the enterprise deliberately. So once I was pregnant, I had quite a lot of day without work clear relaxation in my first trimester. After which in my second trimester, I used to be actually, I bear in mind the tip of 2020 I used to be like hounding Steve, like from the surface, like when do I work greatest and like actually…
Prefer it was so humorous as a result of I knew the reply to that however I used to be like, identical to I need to actually determine it out as a result of really as effectively the entire of 2020 just about I had been doing these like gradual mornings, as a result of I’ve been listening to folks discuss having so mornings, and that you already know, you get up and I’ve by no means been one to take pleasure in waking up every time I get up. Now with a baby, I’ll fortunately take that however prior to now although really that’s not even true. Now I nonetheless like waking up on an alarm and like deciding when my day begins for me that’s a very highly effective factor to do. Others love no alarm or a very late alarm.
For me I really like feeling like I’m selecting to begin the day. So all through quite a lot of 2020. And this pertains to my clear relaxation journey as a result of it was like determining what time of day to have my clear relaxation, that I used to be form of like having quite a lot of clear relaxation within the morning. And I’d get up after which I’d work out, I’d meditate, like I had that complete private improvement routine, then going, meditate, I’d learn a guide, I’ll do some journaling, and doubtless watch like a YouTube video, like all of that form of stuff. And I’d begin my day round 11. And I’d end at possibly like 5 – 6.
What I discovered, for me really, a part of the explanation unconsciously that I used to be doing that was as a result of I felt so responsible ending early than like individuals who work 9 to 5, and particularly like I got here from the company world. I imply, it appears like I used to be there for some time I wasn’t actually like I labored in accounting for 2 years as a graduate accountant and like in that company life. And I simply felt like how may it’s true that I’m making more cash than I made as an accountant, and I can identical to end my day early and like, have quite a lot of day without work. And I used to be always so glad I’ve stopped doing this. However I used to be always evaluating myself to folks in the true world.
And you already know that that’s acceptable, and that if I’m making a good sum of money, that I really have to guarantee that I’m working simply as exhausting. And that I it felt a lot safer to me to complete it like 5 – 6 to be like, oh, yeah, effectively, everybody else is ending at the moment too. As a substitute of what I did in 2021, which is I actually acknowledged just like the gradual morning stuff. It sounds pretty. And it’s so helpful. Like there are PGSDers who like, Oh my God, I’m lastly like really letting myself have a gradual morning and it really works so effectively for me like having clear relaxation within the morning.
So once more, this is the reason we don’t let you know when to place the clear relaxation in your calendar, as a result of it’s going to be totally different for everybody. So for me, I had acknowledged by way of like a yr of doing that, that it wasn’t for me that I used to be really then making an attempt to get myself to do essentially the most brave and scary and tedious issues like in mid afternoon, sometimes, which is when my mind is like no, prefer it’s an I may observe this by way of my energy planning that once I’m doing issues within the morning, I can get duties performed faster, or in the identical time that I had predicted that I’d be capable of.
But when there’s a activity within the afternoon, like I saved noticing, once I was doing my little tweaks that I’d simply be increasing out how lengthy issues would take as a result of that point of day like working at the moment of day and asking quite a lot of my mind at the moment of day. Certain, may I get myself to do it? Sure. Was I getting myself to do it? Sure. Was it the best factor? No. And that is the place it comes into like, it’s a lot extra essential what you do in your corporation hours than what number of you’ve got is that if I used to be making an attempt to maintain getting myself to work on this rhythm that works for thus many different people who I would want like three to 4 additional hours in a day simply to get the identical quantity of stuff performed as if I really simply discovered the rhythm that works greatest for me.
And so it truly is about utilizing the time that you’ve properly not completely however properly. And understanding that once more, that as effectively is a journey. And so when it got here to 2021, I bear in mind so clearly, as I stated like speaking to Steve about it, I used to be like I simply really feel like my present approach that I’m approaching my day isn’t the very best for me. And what would that seem like if it was straightforward for me to have a very productive day.
And what I got here to was that I’d begin working from reminiscence, it’s about 830, I’d work for six hours till 230 I’d have like a really brief lunch break. After which I’d work I feel I labored 4 days, one week and three days the opposite week, like I simply actually began to acknowledge it although I may work day-after-day of the week. And particularly like at that cut-off date I like we didn’t have youngsters to be desirous about childcare and all that form of factor that I may work every time I needed to.
However simply recognizing like that didn’t really serve me. Additionally, there was a complete lot of like, I undoubtedly over ready when it got here to having Lydia and like wanting all the infant issues like I spent, I’d say 1000s of hours watching YouTube movies, they have been so useful, however like all of the new child necessities and like all these totally different sorts of issues and like labor and all of that every one the beginning movies and I needed to have time to do this and wish to arrange the nursery, which was like a nursery in my workplace we have been renting on the time as a result of our home was getting renovated.
That’s one other factor as effectively with clear relaxation, like having quite a lot of time to have stuff occur with the renovation that wasn’t deliberate. So we would have like, plan to have, you already know, a 30 minute electrical assembly with the electrician that finally ends up being like a 4 hour walkthrough. And being able with the little tweaks and the buffer time to have the ability to have that not throw off my week was tremendous essential and useful. Truly at the moment, the renovation hadn’t began. However we had moved out in preparation for the renovation.
However that was one thing that got here after Lydia was born within the second half of 2021, that we had the renovation occurring, and the infant, and I used to be getting again into enterprise up anyway, going again to being pregnant, I’m simply leaping throughout the place. I hope that is making sense. And I hope that is like serving to you consider what would possibly show you how to when it’s coming to scrub relaxation, that when it was the second trimester, although as effectively, a part of me is like, you already know, I’ve a good quantity of vitality at this level, I’m very motivated. But in addition, it doesn’t serve me to work 24/7 although I do know that quickly, I’m gonna be having day without work.
And like quickly I’m going to be my third trimester and be fairly uncomfortable. And possibly out of breath. It additionally as effectively, like, in hindsight, I may stroll by way of quite a lot of the third trimester, and I did, and I loved doing that. But in addition, you don’t know what none of us ever do. However you don’t know what that is likely to be like and when the infant’s gonna come. So it actually helped to have that instrument of fresh relaxation and energy planning underneath my belt, in order that I may actually be in tune with what was working for me, and alter it once I wanted a extra clear relaxation.
So I used to be actually having my work days be 630 to 230. And that introduced up a complete lot of guilt, about not working the identical hours as everybody else within the company world that like, I may simply end at 230. And really feel like all the pieces had been performed due to utilizing energy planning that I had that sense of completion. And I may identical to, go for a stroll to the canine park. And I may identical to, I do know, go to Kmart or Goal or wherever and purchase no matter I have to survive for the infant or like, it simply felt too good to be true. And so I needed to actually work by way of that once I was going by way of that stage.
After which within the third trimester, as effectively, I feel I plan to have from like 38 weeks, like I had clear relaxation from 38 weeks on I ended up doing. Like I felt fairly good in the course of the third trimester. And I needed to do a PGSD launch and various things like that. So I had although clear relaxation. And it felt prefer it’s so fascinating. That is I assume, happening a little bit of a rabbit gap. However lots of people, if you’re working for another person will depart work at 34 weeks or 36 weeks in Australia, relying on the scenario.
And so lots of people might be like, Oh, you’re working all the best way as much as 38 weeks. And for me, it simply felt actually good to do this. And I had I used to be I bear in mind telling so many various folks, as a result of they’d be like, Oh, you’re working late within the being pregnant that like, Yeah, however I can like at that time as effectively, just like the enterprise didn’t want something from me that I had set issues as much as run with out me. And I used to be simply doing stuff as a result of I needed to do it not as a result of I needed to, which is such a robust place to be.
And I used to be like additionally I’ve no commute to work. And for positive if I used to be commuting, I used to be very uncomfortable at that time, that I wouldn’t be eager to commute anyplace, particularly if I used to be occurring a practice or like even driving and I had pelvic ache that was fairly extreme. And so like I harm to do just about something, any form of strolling or like standing up and sitting down and placing footwear on and all of the issues.
So anyway, all of that to say I with the assistance of energy planning and clear relaxation, was in a position to do one thing that labored for me. After which I had deliberate to have like I’d set the enterprise up. So I may have three to 6 months off with out working. And I ended up eager to get again into work. I feel Lydia was like two or three weeks outdated, possibly three weeks outdated.
As a result of I didn’t should do something for the enterprise. So it was straightforward to need to do it. However I do know for positive that, particularly given how little sleep I used to be having that if I felt like like I wasn’t doing any teaching calls. And inside PGSD had different PGSD coaches doing them. I like wasn’t having to assume I wasn’t I had already pre recorded all of the podcast episodes for that time frame.
And it undoubtedly felt like if I needed to coach or do a podcast episode, I simply couldn’t maintain the practice of thought that my mind was simply very drained. However I may do totally different stuff that I needed to do with simply ease in the best way I needed to ease in and I feel with out having the clear relaxation that I had, like in my calendar and that I meant I had zero strain to do something. It wasn’t like, cool, I’ll do stuff if I need to. I actually went into it being like I’m deciding forward of time to not do issues for the enterprise for a sure time frame.
And you’ll all the time replace that call. It’s not about like, effectively, I stated I’m not allowed to say I’m not allowed to you’ll be able to all the time replace your selections. It’s so essential to know that like, this isn’t identical to being pregnant associated in any respect. In case you are deciding like that you just’re not going to work out on a sure day. And then you definately determine that you just do need to work on a date, that’s okay. However we simply need to be on to ourselves as effectively.
That is once more, the place the weekly evaluate will assist. In case you are doing that, simply because it’s typically underneath the guise of I simply love my enterprise, I simply had essentially the most impressed concept to be onto your self, if it’s oftentimes once we like, like, I simply like it and need to work on on a regular basis. One factor is we don’t belief ourselves to have the ability to execute an concept. If it isn’t like within the pleasure of the concept, I was like that, that I wager I’ve to behave on it immediately. As a result of as soon as this motivation goes, the concept goes with it.
And now I can have concepts and I can write them down, like I’ve my notes on my iPhone, I write the concept down and I can belief myself that when a workday comes, I will take subsequent steps to implement that. And I’ve additionally discovered it actually useful for me that there are some concepts that I’m actually enthusiastic about that really, like after I’m going by way of that emotional wave of like, being within the excessive pleasure and within the doubt about it that I’m like, really, that’s not an excellent match.
However anyway, quite a lot of occasions, it’s that we don’t belief ourselves to be productive when the time comes. So we really feel like we’ve got to love strike when the iron is scorching. And in addition working for work sake. And dealing as a result of we don’t know what we like doing in our day without work. And that for positive has been a very essential a part of my clear relaxation journey is particularly I bear in mind speaking about this, I’m fairly positive on the podcast.
Possibly I’ve already talked about it on this sequence and the episodes that just like the one which was from 2019, that I actually didn’t know what I favored doing and day without work. And in order that appeared like I actually love engaged on my enterprise, I’m simply gonna do it on a regular basis, when beneath that was with my relationship with myself that I didn’t actually have one past me and the enterprise and myself. And so I labored as a result of I used to be like, Effectively, I don’t know what to do on this day without work.
And in addition, there’s all the time stuff to do within the enterprise. So the very best factor to do could be to work on the enterprise. And it was so highly effective to have there be a void. And once more, that is one thing like filling the void is one thing I realized about from Tim Ferriss, I’m actually grateful that he talked about that you just do have to fill the void and determine what you need to do in that point off.
In any other case, it’ll finish with you simply working for work sake. And doing non needle movers or doing needle movers that, you already know, there is likely to be needle movers, however you don’t really want to do them. As a result of there’s all the time going to be like, you already know, 1000 issues that may transfer the needle for your corporation. And it’s actually a matter of deciding, okay, however these are those I’m going to do.
So there’s all the time extra stuff to be performed. And it’s about determining what you really like doing in your day without work and letting your self be bored. And I used to be really speaking to a PGSDer about this within the PGSD discussion board, they have been saying like, you already know, I’m noticing that I’m feeling bored, I feel it was like within the afternoons or the evenings once I’m on my clear relaxation. So I’m gonna, like plan an outing for myself. And it’s to not say not to do this.
However it’s actually essential that you just acknowledge that a part of your progress along with your progress aim is likely to be letting your self be comfy with being bored, and letting boredom be okay, and never having to all the time remedy for it with doing stuff. However to identical to, let it’s okay, that you just’re bored. And this is the reason clear relaxation is so essential. As a result of if we’re like working from a to do checklist and identical to I’ll on this, I’ll relaxation when all the pieces’s performed mentality that we by no means really get to satisfy ourselves and be with ourselves.
And it’s simply really easy to, you already know, cowl that boredom or no matter it is likely to be beneath that boredom, with work and with busyness. And so that is actually, it’s such an essential instrument to truly develop your self and your life past your corporation, which makes it a lot simpler to be brave in your corporation. While you really feel like your corporation isn’t the sum complete of you want once we really feel as if all the pieces in enterprise is private. Like if somebody asks how you might be you reply with like, the enterprise goes effectively.
Or possibly you haven’t advised folks in your life about your corporation, however you identical to, oh, they do find out about it, however they don’t ask you about it and also you resent it. They don’t ask you about it since you really feel like that is how I used to really feel. If that if my pals didn’t ask about how the enterprise was, it was like they didn’t care about me. After I hadn’t even acknowledged like the very fact they weren’t asking concerning the enterprise. And so they have been asking about me like that ask different stuff.
However I used to be like, I’ve been asking concerning the enterprise as a result of I felt like that was me. And that in the event that they didn’t care concerning the enterprise, they didn’t care about me. And in the event that they didn’t just like the enterprise, they didn’t like me and should you have been feeling like that clear relaxation is gonna be tremendous useful. With that, and I’ve already performed an episode on why energy planning and dealing out of your calendar in a strategy to get your thoughts set in your aspect is basically essential. It’s very difficult to get the clear relaxation you want while you’re working from a to do checklist.
However yeah, it’s actually about creating your life past your corporation. So your self price and your corporation aren’t all tousled collectively. And while you really feel like you already know, the cash’s flowing in, you’re feeling actually nice about your self. After which while you’re like going by way of a interval the place there isn’t cash flowing in that you just really feel utterly insufficient, and also you simply really feel like, you’re not even an actual enterprise proprietor and like, you’re simply a humiliation, and also you’re a failure, and all of that form of factor.
That’s an indication that your self price is presently tousled with your corporation, which is completely, like, nothing’s gone mistaken, we’re doing this work as a result of we need to not as a result of we have to, like you might be liked and lovable along with your perfectionist ideas. And with not having clear relaxation, it’s not like right here’s learn how to repair your self with clear relaxation. It’s not that in any respect. It’s prefer it’s utterly positive to not get any clear relaxation. You’re so completely lovable, worthy, all of the issues. However if you wish to, let’s chat about learn how to do it, and have you ever doing that inside PGSD.
So for me, it actually has helped like having clear relaxation for me to determine like, what do I really like doing. And as effectively, that is one thing else that got here up within the discussion board, there was a thread about like, resenting different folks taking time away from your corporation. So possibly you had needed to work on your corporation. And then you definately needed to meet up with pals otherwise you needed to meet up with household or like one thing occurred like that. And I do know as effectively it might probably really feel like this with a job that you just’ve resented for taking your valuable time away.
And we really feel like this as a result of, just like the time feels so valuable, as a result of we’re not making like, we all know, we’re not benefiting from it, particularly while you’re not energy planning that you just’re like, oh, like I don’t even take advantage of my time. And I in all probability procrastinate anyway, however I want on a regular basis I can get as a result of I don’t belief myself to be productive. And once I wasn’t getting clear relaxation, like I’d meet up with pals and all of that also. But it surely was this sort of like I might be engaged on the enterprise.
And I’m like falling behind within the enterprise. And it’s actually getting like when you’ve got clear relaxation, you’ll be able to meet up with pals or like as effectively along with your buffer time and little tweaks such as you might need deliberate to do it at a sure time. However one thing occurred and you might want to that you may simply make these changes. And then you definately will be totally current with your mates or your loved ones or your kids, whoever it’s, with out this like dialog behind your thoughts.
Like I needs to be doing extra like I needs to be doing stuff for the enterprise, I’m falling behind, I’m gonna lose momentum, it’s gonna crumble, and all of that form of factor. And so, for me, and I’ll speak a bit extra in a second about what I rise up to when I’m having my clear rise time. But it surely has been actually essential for me and my journey, my relationship with myself to truly determining like, what else do I like, moreover private improvement, and enterprise stuff, and I like these issues.
However that doesn’t imply that the sum complete of who I’m, and that there’s so many issues we love, that doesn’t imply we have to do them or take into consideration them 24/7. And in order that has actually helped me to be extra profitable in enterprise as a result of it doesn’t really feel like if my enterprise is failing, then I’m a failure form of factor, to not the diploma at the very least that it did once I wasn’t getting clear relaxation in so anyway, going again to my journey with it. I used to be getting quite a lot of clear relaxation all through my being pregnant.
After which I had deliberate to have day without work once I had Lydia. And I’m so grateful that I had that. And as I stated that had me wanting to return to work sooner. After which I actually went by way of one other journey with it as soon as I had Lydia and I had returned to work and I used to be returning to love, I assume regular duties, so to talk, like recording podcast episodes, teaching calls, and that form of factor.
To determine what my preferrred scenario appeared like by way of significantly what number of work days I’d work. If I had Lydia for the day would I work on her naps or not. And I experimented with that with working throughout nap occasions. And I’ve the privilege of not needing to solely work throughout that point that I’ve the choice to love by way of childcare and in addition Steve to have full days the place I’m working like in the present day is a type of days the place I’m working and my youngsters aren’t at residence or or they’ve been taken care of utterly by another person.
So I is likely to be round however I’m not needing to be totally current as you might be when you find yourself taking care of a baby that you might want to be there. And so I experimented with like what my clear relaxation would seem like and whether or not I’d have you already know I’d work throughout nap occasions or not. I actually discovered for me by way of doing my energy planning my weekly evaluate. You may see some themes right here like once I do my weekly evaluate that it was simply so hectic for me to work throughout nap occasions. And I simply wasn’t like particularly getting used to getting clear relaxation at that time with my relationship with it.
That It simply felt hectic like, when you’ve got a baby, you already know that you just don’t understand how lengthy will possibly some kids like, however I by no means knew how lengthy Lydia would nap. If it’d be 40 minutes if it’d be two hours. After which when she goes down, I’ve like, I simply would discover like, I’d scroll mindlessly for 10 minutes, since you’ve simply been so targeted, that your mind was like, Okay, we’d like a minute. After which I’ve to love soar into one thing, and particularly at this stage of enterprise as effectively, that quite a lot of what I’m doing, like, Sure, I’m doing content material creation, like this podcast episode, for instance, and Instagram stuff and all that, however quite a lot of what I’m doing in addition to like, huge image, excessive stage pondering.
And it’s actually difficult to do this in like a 30 minute time interval. And I discover it for my mind a lot simpler if I’ve a full workday. And I can do my most mind intensive duties within the morning. After which within the afternoon, I’ll do issues like checking in with my group and like social media stuff. After which within the morning, it’s actually nearly creating new issues, new concepts, writing, like something like that, that I’ve to do.
And so once I was simply making an attempt to squeeze in additional time, throughout her naps, it simply, I didn’t really feel like I used to be being the very best mom I might be, I didn’t really feel like I used to be being the very best employee that I might be, it was actually feeling much like 2018, once I was you already know, placing a load of laundry on whereas working after which hanging it up and all of the issues that it simply I didn’t prefer it being like that. So now what I’m doing is I’m working three days per week. After which I’m no, as I discussed, like not taking care of Lydia and the twins throughout these work hours in any respect. After which I’ve 4 days per week with the children.
And in order that to me as effectively has simply been very nice. And it’s simply so like I didn’t then lower my objectives, like the expansion aim I’ve for this yr is 1,000,000 {dollars}. And I’d say we’re fairly on observe for that. And it’s simply been so enjoyable to love to be on this place the place I do know that the quantity of fresh relaxation I’m getting. And I’ll go right into a bit extra element about what’s in that clear relaxation, however that it’s not like I’m simply at this bar all day or studying books and like, I’m taking care of one other human being.
And I’m doing family stuff and like all of that. However I do know that like when my in terms of my enterprise days, I’m so excited for essentially the most half to get into work. And to love change into that mode after which change out of that mode. And I discover that works rather well for me. Nonetheless, there are others who work rather well when it’s just like the naptime they usually simply want having that extra like hybrid method. And that’s completely okay. It’s not like the best way I’m doing it’s the proper approach.
However I’m simply eager to share what my journey has been like with figuring it out. And simply understanding that like constraint in your time, particularly when like, as a dad or mum, however anybody like I nonetheless earlier than having kids felt like I didn’t have sufficient time. It wasn’t like, I imply, it’s very easy to only chunk into this, like, yeah, I didn’t have sufficient time as a result of each different mother and father saying that. But it surely’s like, I nonetheless felt like that to a point earlier than, earlier than I had kids.
And so I feel it’s a bit foolish, if we expect that, you already know, it’s any totally different for individuals who don’t have kids or who don’t have kids but. However all of that to say that I’ve simply actually acknowledged that constraint on my time is such a robust factor that I’m in a position to endure, I do know that in these three work days, I get extra performed than if I used to be working 5.
However let’s discuss what I do in my clear relaxation presently. And yeah, I’m simply actually grateful that I acknowledge the ability of constraint. I used to be feeling this week like harassed and pressured concerning the issues that I wanted to do.
And I used to be so considering that I spotted that it’s not as a result of there’s like all these items to do, or like, I’ve all these items occurring. It’s as a result of I now so fiercely honor my clear relaxation, that it wasn’t an choice for me to vary my clear relaxation. It’s to not say I by no means try this. However all the time the primary port of name is how can I, you already know, we seem like I’ve performed my energy hour for the week. And I had overscheduled myself, which generally occurs, like, the place are you in?
So I spotted I had overscheduled, myself. And it’s so unbelievable to have that realization, as a result of I do know for positive, like I used to be my energy planning in the present day, if I used to be working from a to do checklist for positive, I’d have put double what’s on my calendar. And but I do know seen it within the timeframe of my calendar that that’s really the right quantity for me. And I’m going to finish in the present day feeling completed. And if I went from a to do checklist, it’d be like, that’s not sufficient. After which I put double on that and I in all probability would get 1 / 4 of it performed.
So I went, I really feel like I don’t have sufficient time, as an alternative of being like, Okay, effectively, I want an additional workday, which might be really easy. Like I may stroll the entire of subsequent I like, there’s no motive I couldn’t simply hold working. I simply needed to have clear relaxation, as a result of I understand how effectively it serves me. And so what I did was an actual like how to have a look at all the pieces on my calendar. And I really requested myself, so I did this on Wednesday morning, as a result of I put cash in she’s FYI, this like knot in my abdomen.
And I used to be like, oh, that’s like that stress, strain a sense. And so, on Wednesday, I used to be like, Okay, let’s really, it’s definitely worth the time to only take a step again and relook at what’s on my calendar. And what really must get performed. And simply recognizing like, I need to do it. It’s not even like folks discuss I have to versus I get to, like I get to document a podcast for me that doesn’t tremendous resonate, however like I need to is basically useful. And once I’m in that I need to vitality, I discover it a lot simpler to do issues.
So I had to have a look at all the pieces and found out like if I really wasn’t working Friday in any respect, what would I do to get an important stuff performed. And it meant I ended up really chopping out so many various duties. On my calendar, I simply eradicated them or I delegated them out as an alternative of doing them myself and issues like that. After which I nonetheless scheduled stuff on the Friday, however it meant that now I simply really feel so calm about what’s on my calendar. And it was simply actually useful to consider, like if I couldn’t change my clear relaxation, however I nonetheless needed to get all the pieces performed.
What would I do otherwise. And it’s not, I’d nonetheless have to do all the identical actions, however recognizing that I nonetheless need them to have the identical end result by way of work produced. However did I have to do it in the best way that I had outlined for myself did I have to be the one to do it. And so that’s once more, the great thing about clear bras that like I hadn’t even acknowledged this once I was speaking about on Instagram that like I so fiercely protects my clear relaxation.
And generally I decide to vary how a lot clear relaxation I’m getting. However I default to not altering my clear relaxation and altering my work hours. As a substitute my needle movers. Sorry not my exercises, my needle movers. And that makes me such a greater entrepreneur. And it has me like having a way more impactful worthwhile enterprise as effectively. So I simply need to encourage you should you’re like effectively, I’ll get clear relaxation, however then I hold like consuming into it to only do the thought work with your self.
Like if I couldn’t change my clear relaxation time as a result of typically like if it’s only a plan with ourselves and I would clear relaxation. I’m like, I don’t even have plans that quite a lot of time if I’m not taking care of my youngsters, which I normally am, however I’m like I don’t have particular plans that I may like work on her naps or no matter. Then like however what if I wasn’t allowed to vary it? So anyway, a couple of issues I do on my clear relaxation in the intervening time I take care of Lydia and the twins, I do have stuff I learn. So I learn actually the anatomy of a scandal in the intervening time.
I haven’t been studying that many enterprise books this yr, I’ve been tending in direction of extra fiction, I’ll meet up with pals I’ll do meal prep, I’ll go for a stroll I’ll take heed to podcasts, I’ll additionally take heed to enterprise and private improvement podcasts. Prefer it’s, it’s actually essential to not simply be so inflexible and strict with like what’s clear relaxation and what isn’t. And to permit your self to only determine like, does that really feel good to me to take heed to podcasts on my days off that relate to the enterprise or not? And like simply checking in with your self concerning the causes for that.
And particularly as effectively like I discovered that once I take heed to podcasts, I’ve so many concepts and that should you’re on this mentality of you must act on each concept then it’s possibly not like a change that mentality like I’m so I’ve my iPhone notes and I write it down and I’ll simply hold listening. Or possibly don’t pay attention like simply experimenting with what you rise up to and your time the place you’re not engaged on the enterprise and determining like so for me. I like the tip of 2021 the second half of that we have been doing the renovation so quite a lot of my clear relaxation time went to love it was nonetheless productive, quote unquote stuff.
I used to be having me to conferences with the builders and like we have been going to have a look at tiles and all that totally different stuff and visiting the location, adorning the home and issues like that. So it’s not like your clear relaxation time must be utterly unproductive, like twiddle your thumbs, and really feel guilt free form of factor is simply you’re deciding, it’s not an choice to work on the enterprise. And also you’re going to do different issues.
After which like, simply being on to your self, and never letting your self work for work sake, and as an alternative letting your self be bored, if that’s what must occur. Or as effectively identical to determining, like, What do I like doing with my time, like, possibly there’s a passion that I’ve all the time needed to do like, for some time, like, proper up till I had Lydia for a few yr or so prior, I used to be doing non-public tennis classes and taking part in quite a lot of tennis. And it’s like, I liked doing that as a baby.
After which I simply form of acquired like, I simply sooner or later had determined I didn’t have time for it, and it stopped. And so pondering again to love different issues that you just liked as a baby, and possibly it’s artwork or no matter, like, or possibly you’re an artist, we’ve got quite a lot of PGSDers who’re artists, and possibly there’s like artwork you do for enterprise stuff. And there’s artwork you do only for the sake of doing artwork and that you just try this in your clear relaxation time, like it may be the identical actions.
In some senses, like relying on what sort of enterprise you’ve got, particularly in like, within the case of an artist or a author or no matter that you just would possibly like, proper? Once more, we’ve got PGSDers who’re writers do you want my proper and your corporation time, however then like in your clear relaxation time you simply write for your self. Like, it’s actually about determining what do you take pleasure in doing it, however not having this strain on your self that clear relaxation has to all the time really feel superb. And it has to love be these form of like healthful actions or like quite a lot of my clear relaxation time. I’m identical to, organizing the nursery, like quite a lot of stuff like that. After which going out on adventures, however quite a lot of it isn’t like this thrilling restorative form of time is rather like residing life and letting that be okay. So I’m gonna wrap up right here and I simply once more need to invite you inside perfectionist getting shit performed.
I hope this episode has actually and this complete sequence has actually helped you to grasp extra about clear relaxation, and the position that may play in each your corporation and your private life as effectively and the way it can actually show you how to too. Not that I ever actually discuss like steadiness, I want the like concept of concord, work life, concord, and a rhythm.
