We all need to take care of ourselves. We need a balance in our lives. What is your balance? Do you have balance in your life? Are you working all the time? Are you jobless and struggling in this unpredictable economy? My time, is early morning. I get up earlier than I need to, to have that cup of coffee, to read a bit, to think about life and to watch nature in my backyard. I feed my pets and the squirrels no one likes, and I enjoy that time of peace. I then go out and face the world. I make sure that I make time for family and friends and I especially make time for enough sleep each night. I also make sure I have fun. That comes easy for me, because I love life.
If you do not have balance, think about how you can go about getting it. It may be a long leisure bath with a scented candle nearby and a glass of wine ( careful about the wine, that can become a problem too - balance). It may be a walk down the street from where ever you live. It may be socialising with friends. When our lives are not balanced, we are not receiving full benefits. We may not be at our optimum best.
I have always worked hard and played hard, but as I grow older, I need to slow down. At least that is what my body is telling me. What is your body telling you?
Take a moment now and write about your day, your feelings and how you are feeling right at this moment? Are you happy with your life? What choices have you? What can you do to make your life a bit more relaxed? Do you need help to get there? Do you have friends to help you? Do you have friends? If not do not dismay. Your friend may be just outside your door. Wave at your neighbour; say hello. What is available in your community? Be careful not to isolate yourself too much. We are social beings and need some interaction. What do you think?
