Ever feel like life is slipping through your fingers, with everyone else's needs taking priority over your own? Laura Lummer, a two-time breast cancer survivor and certified Life, Health, and Nutrition Coach, gets it. In this episode of 'The Breast Cancer Recovery Coach', Laura dives into the art of reclaiming your time to build the life you truly want.
She shares a personal story about realizing she needed to shift her focus to what mattered most to her, and she provides a simple yet effective four-step guide to help you do the same. First up, Laura encourages you to identify what really matters to you. What do you value most? Are you actually spending time on those things? If not, it's time for a change. Next, she suggests looking at what you can remove from your schedule.
Maybe it's delegating tasks, seeking help, or just saying 'no' more often. It's about making space for what you love. Once you've cleared some room, it's time to prioritize and schedule your values. Laura recommends starting with 'white space'—time just for you—before adding other commitments. Finally, she stresses the importance of regularly reviewing and reflecting on your schedule. Did something not get done? Why? Adjust as needed.
Laura's approach isn't about being perfect or super-efficient; it's about living intentionally and joyfully. She invites you to be curious and open-minded about your life and priorities. By writing down and reflecting on what matters most, you might be surprised at how much closer you can get to living the life you desire. This episode is packed with practical advice and heartfelt encouragement.
Whether you're a breast cancer survivor or just someone looking to take control of your time, Laura's insights can help you live more deliberately and meaningfully.
