So, how's your life balance?? Do you find that you can consistently balance the different aspects of your life? Physical, Intellectual, Emotional/Relational, Spiritual... When I look at that list, I do pretty good with Intellectual... where I would put work and reading books and writing... But then with the physical, well, that seems to come and go. At least I do eat pretty well, usually... although I could drink more water and get more intentional about exercise! As for spiritual... well... that's one of the first things to go by the board, particularly when I'm feeling strong and centred and grounded. I think that I can start cutting corners and dropping some time here and there... and it will all work out. You'd think that by now, after many experiences of the lack of spiritual time catching up with me... that I'd learn my lesson. But apparently I need a bit more practice in this! So... there is that... And then the emotional/relational... well... that can always use some more time and attention.
What I have noticed is that when I'm feeling out of sorts, I can pretty much count on the fact that I have neglected some aspect of my life... something is out of balance... I've let the tank run dry in one of those areas, and then I wonder why things aren't working out well... Because if I let the spirituality tank run dry, then I'm drawing more from the others, which means they start to run dry faster... I can't keep drawing on those areas, without somehow filling up the tank... spending time outside and exercising... spending time in meditation and doing yoga... spending time reading inspirational books... spending time with friends and family...
Taking care of myself...
