Yesterday I heard a great expression – when your outgoings exceed your incomings the upkeep becomes your downfall.

My accounting head went straight to money, my coaching head went to the emotional bank account we all quietly carry with us. The truth is the expression can apply to both; both can be detrimental to your health and well-being.

With money, it’s dollars and cents – spend more than you earn and playing catch up becomes a lot of work, with very slow progress, especially when interest charges add up so quickly. The toll shows on your bank statement and in your empty purse.

With the emotional bank account – keep giving without filling yourself up on what you need and you will become drained and exhausted. The upkeep of saying yes really can lead to your downfall, especially if others expect you to keep giving. The toll doesn’t show as easily in this bank account. The expectations of give and take are not always obvious, they are often unconscious and it’s only when resentment and ill health come to visit that it becomes clear the downfall has happened.

Are your outgoings exceeding your incomings? Are you feeling empty and worried, on the treadmill and getting exhausted as you try to keep up? If it’s time to balance your physical bank account or your emotional bank account, and you’re not sure where to start, consider the support of a coach who’s been there and come through it.

The journey back to balance is much easier with a company and guided support and can be much simpler than you think. If you’re ready to find out more reach out and make contact with me. It only takes a phone call and a chat to get you started and back into balance.
