MAKE ROOM FOR WHITE SPACE<br> <br> <br> White space allows you to:<br> <br> <br> <br> Breathe<br> Have time to mediate, pray, and reflect<br> Slow down<br> Refresh your focus on who you are<br> Appreciate the small things in life<br> Experience life (versus survive it – or get through the hours)<br> Be okay with boredom and stillness<br> Listen to your heart well enough to remember what really matters to you<br> Be available to others<br> Be a better version of yourself<br> Prevent over-extension<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> (2). ADHERE TO YOUR WLWB LIST<br> Your WLWB list sets you up to:<br> <br> Feel productive from the very start of the day<br> Align your spirit and your intentions for the day<br> Create a sense of consistency and follow-through in yourself<br> Prioritize the basics of life<br> Create value in each and every day – a day where the WLWB is performed is a day that is successful and not wasted – this drives you to greater overall productivity.<br> <br> My WLWB list:<br> <br> [5 Sun Salutations / 5 Minutes of Abs + Make my Bed + Worship Music + Gratitude Journal + Lumosity + Education while I run (Sermon, TED Talk, or Podcast) + Something loving towards my husband]<br> (3).

(Examples: self-reflection activities, gratitude journal, vacations away where you allot time for journaling and goal setting, conferences that inspire you, podcasts that invest in your self-growth, etc.)<br> Mellow Yellow: Relaxation, your white calendar space.
