Creating Your Ideal Day YOUR Way
03/31/21 • 42 min
There are tons of books all about creating an ideal day or how to start your day so that you set yourself up for success. The problem with all these strategies is that they often tell you to do things that may not fit YOU and instead leave you feeling more frustrated and less productive. The truth is that your level of productivity will look different on different days and how you support your day needs to meet you where you’re at. At the same time, outlining what you want and creating routines are definitely helpful for productivity and life enjoyment. So, what’s the happy medium?
In this episode of Unlimited, I’m diving into how to create supportive foundations for making the most of your day.
Some of what I’ll cover in this episode include:
- How to bake flexibility into your plans
- Determining routines that support you
- Meeting yourself where you’re at in creating new habits
- Understanding the relationship between time and energy
- Exercises to assess where you’re spending your energy
I went into survival mode with my time when Covid locked us all down, mostly feeling like all I had space for was whatever felt most pressing in that moment. Living like that can become a habit without you even realizing it isn’t necessary anymore, that you actually have at least some of your bearings back. It takes pausing to notice, assess, and envision something different in order to start shifting that way of being. Hopefully this episode helps you begin that process.
If you're interested in judgment-free support to holistically realign life and work to the person you want to be, let's talk. Just schedule a time on my calendar HERE

It's Simple, So Why Am I Not Doing It? [coaching]
Have you ever really wanted to do something yet kept not doing it?
The woman in this session came to me because she wanted to write a book and she couldn’t figure out why she wasn’t. All her natural obstacles were gone, and she had the perfect conditions for finally doing it: stable income, older kids, stuck at home... yet she still didn’t write.
In this episode of Unlimited, we dig into what creates “stuck” and develop practical steps to taking action with added inspiration from a surprise visitor...
Some of what we engage in this episode include:
- Creating clarity to motivate action
- How we create obstacles to action
- Tapping into current habits to lean into new things
- Releasing control & attachment to outcome
- Developing self-trust through action
- Utilizing your stress response to get things done

How to Plan for the Future AND Enjoy the Present
We're taught from a young age to look toward the future. That life really begins once something in the future happens, such as once you become the person you're going to be when you grow up. The problem is that this sets us up in a pattern of chasing, not having. Many clients come to me saying they have big dreams and want to make an impact in the world but they don't want to sacrifice the present moment. They believe both is possible but don't know HOW. It starts with relearning how to vision in a way that supports both the goal AND the journey.
In this episode of Unlimited, I’m diving into how to engage visioning in a way that supports both achieving your goals AND enjoying your life.
Some of what I’ll cover in this episode include:
- What exactly IS visioning
- Ways we learn to vision that actually sabotage us
- Overcoming fear of failure/fear of success
- The importance of having a purposeful vision
- Ways to engage creating a vision effectively for yourself or with others
I'm particularly passionate about this topic because it's been a big learning for me personally. I spent years building the life I thought you were supposed to have to be happy. I spent more years working to be in the present moment, not getting caught up in the future or the past. I ended up becoming really good at tolerating life, instead of fully living it. Learning how to vision as I describe in this episode was pivotal for me in feeling like I was truly owning my life.
Want support to create a vision that motivates you to action with both future goals and present enjoyment? Let's chat!Thank you for listening! If you enjoyed this episode, take a screenshot of the episode to post in your stories and tag me! @unlimitedcoachval
