Balance

This week I plan to focus on bringing more balance to my life. Sometimes I get so caught up in something that I think I tend to take things overboard.  For example, I am a major researcher. I may read something online or in a book and if interests me (usually health related) I will spend hours and hours researching it and often this will lead me to researching something else that I have stumbled upon in my original research.  Which is all well and good unless you do not have endless time or if you a family or a job.

Problems arise in that one has to find a balance between what people need from you and what you need for yourself. Jessye Norman

Another thing I have noticed recently is that with two little ones there are many times my needs get pushed back to later, and by later I mean I never get back to them.  After awhile this really starts to bother me.  I need some “me” time. I believe this is so important and should be a priority.  I want to focus on turning this around.  I want to carve out a little time each day just for me.  I believe this will help be to be a better wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend.  So this not only benefits me but alot of other important people in my life.

What are you going to do this week to bring more balance in your life?
