EP 679: Dr. Margaret Cochran – How to Balance Life and Love; Strategies for Success
How do you know when things are out of balance in a relationship?
We work too hard and we’re praised for it. We start to fall apart. If you’re well rested and satisfied, you’ll produce a much better product at work. And as an individual, we need to matter to ourselves first or we can’t be there for anyone else.
Stop, sit back, and take a second, and ask yourself, “What is it that I need?” It may take practice if you’re not used to it. Your needs are vital, not wrong or “needy” or self-centered.
Is balance really possible?
Balance is where there’s as much coming in as there is going out. As women we get pressured to put more out than in. Often women don’t know what they want. We lose ourselves, and then we can’t give or receive love.
How do you determine how to balance life and love if you don’t have healthy examples in your life?
Talk to a professional who can help you define your values and boundaries.
What are some actionable tips you can use to achieve balance between life and love?
Go back into your childhood when you were eight or nine years old. What was your favorite thing to do? Go do it and watch what happens. That touches the little person inside of you. It’s the part that gets ignored. That part of you that’s about being and not doing. It’s the most intuitive part of you. Fill a bowl with fun things to do.
What are your final words of advice for anyone who wants to go on their last first date?
Remember to date yourself first. Being in love with yourself will allow you to have a healthy relationship.
