Savvy WizDoom: S01E04 – Balanced Living: Have You Integrated Your Life?


From juggling careers to nurturing relationships and practicing self-care, we explore the intricate tapestry of modern life and the art of weaving its various threads into a harmonious whole.

Life’s like a seesaw, isn’t it? We pile on our work, responsibilities, and ambitions on one end while, striving for wellness, peace, and joy on the other. Finding that sweet spot where everything aligns just right โ€“ that’s what we call balanced and integrated living. But how do we get there?

Our latest episode delves into essential aspects of life: relationships, work, health, and happiness. Through heartfelt conversations, Dr. Tamika Sanders and Cheyennis Doom underscore the importance of setting boundaries and integrating all facets of life to create spaces where work and well-being coexist peacefully.

Join us on this journey of self-discovery and balance as we:

  • Check In with Ourselves with Thoughtful Questions for Reflection
  • Define Balanced/Integrated Living and Learn 5 ways to achieve it
  • Learn about Drainers to Avoid and Limit
  • Discuss Best Practices
  • Set our intentions for putting it to practice
  • Share tangible resources for manifesting those intentions

Last month’s focus on Self-Care, including a 30-day challenge, highlighted the importance of personal well-being. Activities like decluttering, enjoying feel-good movies, and networking with like-minded individuals contribute to a nourished soul. As we transition from understanding self-care to embracing a balanced life, we define what balance means to us. It’s not about equal percentages but rather about prioritizing energy where it’s needed most while maintaining overall harmony.

1. Do you feel you have a healthy work-life balance?
2. What percentage of your energy do you allocate to others versus yourself?
3. Can a balanced work-life lead to success, or does success facilitate balance?

These are questions we all must ask ourselves as we strive for equilibrium in our lives.

1. Be present and practice gratitude for your circumstances.
2. Make business personal by investing in relationships beyond transactions.
3. Create life margins by scheduling personal and family time.
4. Be mindful of your energy and the spaces you inhabit.
5. Unplug from technology regularly to recharge.

Be cautious of drainers in various environments, such as unnecessary meetings at work, internet overuse at home, and perfectionism anywhere. Reflect on your priorities, set clear boundaries, and leverage technology to automate tasks.

As we continue our journey, we look forward to the exciting opportunities that lie ahead. Whether it’s pursuing further education, starting new ventures, or simply refining our daily routines, the path to a balanced life is an ongoing process. Join us as we embrace the discomfort of growth and the joy of achieving harmony in life’s symphony.

Stay tuned for our next episode, where we’ll discuss getting comfortable with discomfort and how it can propel us to new heights. Until then, remember to connect with us on social media, share your stories, and let us know how you’re finding balance in your own life.
