Creating Space
by Teri Pirozz

An important step in taking "Work/Life Balance" to "Whole Life Balance" is by creating space in your life.

Whole Life Balance is an elusive state for many of us, myself included. Part of the reason lies in not knowing what that balance should be. Deciding which aspects of our lives need the most balancing is a very personal decision"and very necessary if we hope to bring any glimmer of balance into our lives.

Too often, we think the way to create Whole Life Balance is to "even out the load." For example, if you work long, intense hours during the week, you may think you are achieving balance by becoming a weekend warrior, working out with a vengeance and squeezing as much activity into two days as humanly possible.

Or you may go without any relaxation for months, thinking you can release pent-up stress by retreating to a spa for a few days to lavish in relaxing treatments. The scale may appear balanced, but not in a healthy way. With equally heavy loads on both sides, it won't take long for the burden to start weighing on your health and well being.

In most cases, we admit to being totally stressed out only when our lives start being affected in profoundly negative ways. Only then are we willing to address the root causes of our stress and commit to getting our lives back in balance. Unfortunately, by the time most people actually begin rebalancing, they have been under stress for a long time.

Although they know that something needs to give, they offer embedded responses like... "But I can't give up my job,? or "I don't have control over my work schedule," or "If I cut back on my responsibilities, things will fall apart." And the list of excuses goes on.

I invite you to shift the paradigm from the scales, in which doing less can feel threatening, diminishing and doing more, even more good stuff, can still feel like overload and very stressful, and instead to envision your life as a spectrum of environments: your physical environment (home, office, neighborhood, nature), your relationships environments, your financial environment, your values/attitudes/philosophy environments, your self/body environment, and the environment of your day-to-day, hour-to-hour,minute-to minute choices on what you do with your time.

They are often too crowded, filled to the brim with dated or expired or unresolved stuff, and one thing is for certain: they all affect each other, they all contribute to the total definition of who you are. The key is to create space in all of your environments, to de-clutter, eliminate, resolve and dissolve anything and everything that weighs, you down, that just doesn't serve you anymore. And so we begin to Create Space.

The first step to Creating Space is to eliminate your tolerations.

Tolerations are anything that you are putting up with, that you really don't have to. Eliminate is a big request, but by shooting for complete elimination, you have a much better chance of getting rid of the ones that bug you the most. Tolerations drain our energy cause stress, and just take up too much space in your life. Now is the time to begin a Creating Space by tossing out those tolerations.

This can be anything from tolerating a caffeine addiction, to tolerating rusty porch railings, to tolerating being crabby a lot, to tolerating not having enough time to read, to tolerating debt. Get honest with yourself and just start writing them down. Then follow these steps:

1. Look into each of your environments, and begin with listing 10 things/situations/attitudes in each area that you are tolerating.

2. Then ask yourself, what is it costing you to tolerate this and how are you actually benefiting by putting up with this (yes, we definitely stay with stuff that bugs us because we are getting some kind of payoff).

3. Next, how will you eliminate the toleration and set a new standard to stop the toleration from showing up in the future. Finally, who will you have to become to cease the toleration?

What are you willing to let go of, to Create Space? Often what we are holding on to so tightly is the exact thing we need to let go of. Opening up a space sends a very strong message that you are ready for what you want. And by Creating Space in one environment, you create space in the spectrum as a whole, allowing possibilities for expanding change to occur throughout your entire life.
