Balance: Is There Such A Thing?

The past couple months have been unbelievably hectic. Something tells me you may also be able to relate. I’m accustomed to being incredibly busy as that’s been my life for at least the past 15 years. But I don’t recall a time in all those years where each of my days were as jam-packed as they have been these past few months.

Toward the end of last year, I remember writing a post entitled Yoga, Chai Tea & Me, about maintaining balance in my life. Making sure to set aside time just for me. At the time, I was concerned with how the busyness of life was beginning to weigh me down but my determination to not lose focus on what is most important in life.

Now today, as I begin another nonstop week of conference calls, meetings and general work, I look back on that post as a reminder to myself: “When practicing yoga, balancing always reminds me of the necessity to maintain focus. I cannot experience a balanced life without maintaining focus. For me, that means keeping God first, my hubby right behind and then our family and friends. Although work and the overall busyness of life can sometimes seem all-consuming, finding time in the day to stop, reflect, pray and gain perspective always helps me to live a balanced life.”

Most of the time, I write these posts for each of you. But today, I write this post to myself as a reminder to step back and look at the larger picture. This may be one of the busiest seasons I’ve experienced in my thirty-five years on earth, but it is just that, a season. I must remain focused on what is most important: God, hubby, family, friends and then everything else.

Do you ever find the need to remind yourself of what is most important in life? Do you lose sight, at times, of why you were placed on earth and somehow get caught up in the busyness of it all? If you are like me and need a reminder every now and then, take heart that today is a new day. You can have a “do over” of yesterday and begin anew. Set your priorities straight and keep your eyes on the prize.

Work will come and go and one day you will be retired. Children will consume much of your days but in time they will move on and begin a family of their own. It is your relationship with God, your relationship with your husband and your relationship with self that will sustain you through the end of time. And those are the relationships which should always matter the most.

Until tomorrow…make it a great day!
