Balancing Act

**I have two sliding scale coaching spots available this coming week, contact me if you have something you'd like a little help working out!**

Happy Saturday friends!

Remember how I recently wrote about my parts of self: Hyperactive Julia and Routine&Calm Julia? And how I was allowing Routine&Calm to lead the way for the first time ever? I had found that Hyperactive Julia had been ruling the roost for 54 years and the only time Routine&Calm was allowed out was when she insisted we take a break or we would all die.

I decided to give Routine&Calm free reign for awhile (a couple of months.) Leaving Hyperactive Julia to sit in the corner sulking. She'd try to contribute glimmers of ideas but they were all shot down by Routine&Calm. This week the Sulker ground to us all to a halt for a day and a half. No ideas. No creativity. No fun. No hope. No happy. Nothing. Like at one point I was sitting in a comfy chair just...staring. Like there was nothing going on in my head! Even the 1000 open tabs in my Brain Browser were closed!

Oh dear. 

I didn't know both sides, when unhappy, could shut us down. Well dammit.

As I'm always learning, it's all about balance.

It's true, I didn't know what I had until my brain went to static.

Sigh. I want it to be one thing or the other. Black or white. I talk to ManChild about the grey all the time but I'm not taking my own advice! Uggggggggghhhh.

Both sides of my brain haven't particularly gotten along throughout my life, they fight it out:

But one thing they both agree on is, they don't like the word "balance." Each wants to rule totally and completely—but since shutdown isn't an option, or at least a good option, I will strive for balance.

I had a little epiphany, it seems logical:

Use Hyperactive Julia to create the ideas.
Use Routine&Calm Julia to create some routine/set up some structure around the idea.
Use Hyperactive Julia to actually create the thing.
Use Routine&Calm Julia to follow up and get it done.

Repeat.

We'll see how that works...

THE RANCH:

Dancer's babies are due in middle April!

7 years ago this week! ManChild's excitement ❤️

Mom's rosemary is thriving:

This week we had a day where it rained all day. This is the Polar Bear in the middle of it, completely asleep lol:

TIME CHANGES TONIGHT!

THE MEMES:

Women's Group!

I'm looking for women who are interested in joining a Spring Women's Group here at the ranch.

It will be:
• outside in the coaching barn
• surrounded by the horses, mini donkeys, and goats—and some will sometimes be in with us
• it will involve some artsy—but the kind that anyone can do, not things for framing
• once a week for 8 weeks
• a place of safety and community
• don't have exact dates or times yet, just looking for interested women right now!

If you're interested in joining me and my co-coaching animals—Contact me here.
