FINDING BALANCE

It seems that our lives spin out of control for a while, and, then, they are like so quiet for a while. Perhaps that is balance...

Our society is way too busy! I know that it cannot be helped, or can it? Do we really need all the extra stimuli we seek?

Sometimes I am sure that I have taken on too much, but, I manage it all, so, have I really taken on too much? Well, that depends on various aspects of too much. If you can't sleep because of stimuli overload and excitement, if you don't eat right because you are too busy, if you have to be doing all these things instead of relaxing with friends or family or other, then, yes, you have probably taken on too much.

When we take on too much, we don't have time to notice the signs of fatigue, the decline of the body shape, the constant grinding of the teeth, or more, all of which lead to health problems in the near future. We are basically so caught up that we can't take time for ourselves...

Being busy and productive are good, if they are kept in check. We must also make time to unwind, to relax, to reflect, to meditate, and, to heal. Our bodies and minds heal with sleep and relaxation, therefore, both are imperative...

Time to prioritize and keep it healthy, for if your health fails, you won't be doing much, besides wishing that you had taken time to take care of yourself....
