Feeling a little off lately—like something in your life needs to shift, but you’re not sure what? Or maybe you do know what’s missing, but can’t quite figure out how to make it happen?In this episode, psychologist Traci Stein shares a simple but eye-opening tool she calls the “Life Pie Chart.” It’s an easy way to take a step back and really see where your time and energy are going—things like work, health, family, relationships, hobbies, habits (both good and bad), and spirituality, to name a few.Once you’ve mapped it out, you’ll start to see what parts of your “pie” could use a little more attention—and which ones might need a smaller slice. It’s a practical and eye-opening way to find more balance, clarity, and satisfaction in everyday life.Also mentioned in this episode:Meditation for Releasing & Setting Yourself Free (on the Insight Timer app):https://insig.ht/2Ba2zYNJ8Xb?utm_source=copy_link&utm_medium=contentTraci’s online meditation store: https://tracistein.com/Sign up for Traci’s Newsletter! https://www.drtracistein.com/let-s-stay-in-touch
