Relationships, Finances & Work

In the final episode of the Spring Cleaning Your Holistic Life series, we shift our focus to three external areas that have a powerful impact on how we experience our daily lives:

Relationships, Financial Health, and Work.

Over the past two weeks we’ve explored your inner world: our thoughts, emotions, spiritual life, and personal growth and the foundations that support our daily life through your body and your home.

This week we look at the structures around you.

These areas often carry pressure, expectations, and responsibilities, but they are also places where alignment can create meaningful change.

Relationships

Relationships shape so much of our experience.

This includes romantic relationships, friendships, family, and professional connections.

When we spring clean this area of our life is about becoming aware of how your relationships affect your energy and well-being and how we can make small changes that have a big impact. Since this area of our holistic health and life can include a lot of different types of relationships and specific people, for the journaling look write out specific relationships to answer the following questions.

Journal Prompts

1. Which relationships feel supportive and energizing?
2. Are there relationships that consistently leave me feeling drained, name these specifically?
3. Am I communicating my needs honestly in these relationships?
4. Are there boundaries I need to strengthen or create?

And then ask yourself- how do I want to feel in my relationships (this can be 1 feeling for how you want to feel overall or you could make it specific feelings for specific relationships.

And then ask yourself what specific actions will help you feel that way.

Money impacts your sense of security and freedom.

Spring cleaning your finances often starts with simply looking at them with curiosity instead of avoidance.

Journal Prompts

1. Do I regularly check in with my finances or tend to avoid them?
2. Does the way I spend money reflect what matters most to me?
3. Where does money create stress or tension in my life?

And then ask yourself- how would I like to feel when it comes to money and finances?

What are the actions that would help me feel that way?

Come up with 1 small intentional action from those.

Work

The way I approach work is by looking at what we spend our days doing. So it applies if you have a job outside of your home, or if you are a stay at home parent or spouse, or retired.

This area is looking at how your work aligns with your values, energy, and sense of purpose.

Journal Prompts

1. How do I feel about the work I’m doing right now?
2. Do I feel energized or drained by my daily responsibilities?
3. Does my work reflect what I value most?
