| Lately I have had more and more days where I feel like there is not enough time for me to get done all that needs to be done. Not only is there not enough time, but sometimes I don’t have the energy. I have great energy for most of my day, then I feel myself crashing at about 9 or 10pm!!! “If only I could go full throttle until midnight and do well on 4 or 5 hours of sleep”….this is what I say to myself lately, but I just can’t do it.
I absolutely have to start eliminating, cutting back, saying no and sometimes just simply prioritizing the things in my life. My husband made a comment to me the other night that really made me think about how I really do have too much on my plate. And me, being my stubborn self started saying out loud, “Well, it’s not like I can eliminate this, or this, or that, or even that…..” and boy, was I frustrated. Because I am busy doing GOOD things, things that have to be done too!!! So I am out to discover how to have more balance and not feel so overwhelmed at times. I have a lot of ideas and have been working on a couple things to help me along in this quest. I will be touching base and letting you know how these ideas are either helping or maybe not helping me. I am also hoping to come up with more ideas as I learn about balance in my life. This is definitely not something I think I can master anytime soon, but it’s something that has been on my mind a lot lately and I know right now is the time for me to understand more about balance and how to have more of it in my life. I will definitely be sharing with you how it all goes! |

Awesome thing to work on. I look forward to following what you learn. Don’t we all have too much on our plate? It is a matter of Good, Best and Better. If only we could easily figure that out. Good luck.
Oh, yeah. We have to remember that what we do will often be different than what others do but we must do what is right for us and our families.
Great idea – learn to have balance. When you figure it out let us know! But it is possible – I think it is learning to hang onto that inner peace. Crazy times come but if you have a reserve of quiet time you can make it!
