🪔 “You are not fragments. You are one wholeness — mother, maker, mystic, leader. All sacred. All you.”
🧘🏽♀️ 8.1 — The Myth of “Balance”
Let’s start by dismantling the myth:
“You can have it all. Just do it all.”
This belief has:
• Burned out women
• Trapped them in guilt
• Disconnected them from both dharma and desire
Balance is not about doing everything.
It’s about doing what matters — with presence.
🌺 8.2 — You Are More Than a Title
You are not just:
• A business owner
• A wife
• A mother
• A daughter
• A seeker
You are the thread that connects them.
The problem isn’t the roles — it’s the expectation that you must:
• Perfect each one
• Hide the struggle
• Never ask for support
Let’s release that.
🕰 8.3 — Sacred Time Mapping
Your schedule is your spiritual sculpture.
Let’s stop stuffing your day. Let’s design it.
Use the Trikala Rhythm (Past – Present – Future) for time blocks:
Energy Time of Day What to Do
Brahma Muhurta (4–6am) Soul energy Rituals, reading, writing, meditating
Sankalpa Block (6am–10am) Creation energy Work focus, deep tasks, meetings
Seva & Flow (10am–4pm) Service energy Team, family, client-facing work
Sharada Wind Down (4pm–6pm) Skill or learning Study, mentorship, feedback
Lakshmi Hours (6pm–9pm) Rest & receive Family, music, journaling, celebration
Devi Sleep (9pm onwards) Dream time Prayers, gratitude, rest
You can adjust this based on your rhythm — but create in cycles, not chaos.
👩👧👦 8.4 — Family as Co-Creators, Not Conflicts
Instead of hiding your business from your family… include them.
• Ask your children to help with packaging, design, filming
• Share your wins and rituals with your spouse
• Involve elders in storytelling or heritage creation
Make your business an extension of your dharmic household.
“When the family sees your dream as seva, they support it with pride.”
💗 8.5 — The Forgotten Role: Self
In the dance of duties, your self often gets erased.
But your energy is the engine of everything you run.
Ask Yourself Weekly:
• Am I resting enough to receive?
• Am I moving my body in joy?
• Am I eating prasad or just rushing calories?
• Do I have quiet time that’s mine alone?
Your joy is not selfish. It’s spiritual maintenance.
🕯 8.6 — Daily Rituals for Shakti Alignment
These aren’t “productivity hacks.”
These are portals of power.
Morning: Devi Darshan (10 min)
• Light a lamp, sit in silence, chant or visualize your inner Devi
Midday: Sankalpa Pause (5 min)
• Ask: “Am I acting from alignment, or autopilot?” Reset breath.
Evening: Lakshmi Check-in (10 min)
• Review what flowed. What felt forced. What to release.
🧭 8.7 — Balancing Systems: Tools, Boundaries, Outsourcing
Balance comes not from doing it all — but from knowing what’s yours to hold.
Tools:
• Google Calendar + Notion for planning
• Asana or Trello for task management
• Pomodoro or time-blocking for focus
• WhatsApp / Telegram for micro-updates
Boundaries:
• Set “off” hours for calls
• Say no without guilt
• Communicate your rhythm to your team/family
Outsourcing:
• Hire help for admin, editing, design, errands
• Delegate home tasks if possible
• Let others support your sankalpa
