Finding Balance
This week I became much more aware of the need to find balance in my life. I am not sure if it was inspired by moving into an apartment that has a Feng Shui Kua number of 6, about balance, or if with all the hectic tasks of transition, I felt I was missing major focal points of my life. Whatever it is, I decided on a plan to ensure I was including everything I wanted in my life.
First, I listed all the areas of my life that I wanted to cover:
1. Family
2. Friends
3. Work
4. Physical Activity
5. Companionship/Romance
6. Creative and/or Spiritual Outlet
7. New hopes and dreams
8. Ensuring my home foundation is solid
9. Time to relax.
Next, I set up appointments, either with myself or with others, to accomplish the above objectives. I would also set time limits so that one objective didn't start to bleed into other objectives on the list. For example, I work from home, and although it's easy to sometimes work past 5 pm, knowing that I had set a limit to the work portion of life, it enabled me to work more efficiently and to get things done during the day so that I could go meet friends in the evening.
Some weeks I may have fallen behind in one of the areas, due to external demands, but then I would try to make up for it in the following week.
I find these objectives fit where I am in my current stage of life, and you may want to add or delete areas depending on your own needs or wants.
At the end of the week, as I checked off each area that I accomplished, I found myself feeling very satisfied with myself, enabling me to confidently embrace others with purpose and enthusiasm for their lives. To use a more scientific term, I achieved equilibrium. Are you achieving yours?
