live a balanced life

I’ve done much better when it comes to my relationship and life in general. Now that I have confidence in the relationship, that we are on the same page, I have no problem with taking care of the things I need to do so that he can do the same. It’s nice knowing that after we are finished with what it is we need to do that we will end up with each other in the evenings. What a wonderful thing!

... and with it I almost lost the man I love. I’m not sure how it happened, but I became so consumed with the relationship (it had been some time since I’d had companionship) that I wanted to be with him all the time and I didn’t like that his side job involved him in a club setting. I’m still not too excited about his side job putting him in a club setting, but I’m hoping he will get better about communicating with me while out and that we will be better overall.

...for me to grow up and manage myself better. How about that? A site that helps me keep on track with my goals and gain support from others with the same interestes. I like that…I just need to make sure I don’t let this very website consume me (which it’s very capable of) and become an addiction and imbalance everything else, which I’ve been known to do.

You know you’re imbalanced when even the very things that are in your life to help you are actually contributing to the mess (because of how you’re using it).

since i can remember i had no balance in anything
if i start something i cant stop till its way to late
i should learn when to stop and when to start

i either do so much exercise daily that there is no time for anything else, and the next year, i am so unfit i can hardly move, and sleep the days away

if i start to eat maybe chocolate or chips or what ever, i cant stop till everything is finished, to keep some for later does not exist in my mindset

to tick this off i have to

- eat healthy, not to much or not enough
- sleep healthy not to much or to little
- look healthy , not being under or over weight
- exercise healthy, not to much or to little
- study healthy, not to much or to less, although i dont think
the to much thing will hapen easily hehe
- what ever else random activity i do like watching tv,
spending time with friends ect.
should be in moderation like everything else above

My focus this year has been on living a more balanced life and welcoming joy into every aspect of life. It’s been an awesome year so far!

One wonderful discovery I made was to find a company that reflects these goals and values. The Balance Company reflects the declaration “that each of us can live every day to the fullest … with abundant health, purpose, and financial resources.” The vision of The Balance Company is “balance for all” and the company’s values include balance, simplicity, and authenticity. I’m just so delighted to have been blessed to finally find a company that reflects my values so distinctly. I’ve actually been searching for years for the right company to associate NurseHealer with. Everything I’ve tried before just wasn’t an exact fit. I just wanted to express my gratitude for one more goal realized this year that draws me closer to bringing and maintaining balance to my life and all that I do.

OK, went off island last week for 2 days to pick up the wedding dress and any other shopping (our one mall is 2 hrs away!) All was great until soon-to-be daughter had a crisis. Spend over $500 to extend the stay 2 more days… missed work, blah, blah, blah. All went haywire for 2 days! Still yet, we summed it up this way—$200 rental car; $75+ to change flights; $300 miscellany food and expenses; truly being there to help… priceless.

I hate to give up on this goal, but in a sense, my other 43T goals are all working toward balance in my life. Body, Mind, Spirit, Work, Home, Entertainment… it is all part of achieving balance within a busy life and will never fully be achieved. Although we can try to dole out equal parts in our lives, you cannot fully live without letting another piece of the pie go for a while.

Work consumes my energy all the time, but on vacation, I don’t once think of working! (Except when they called me-twice!) What I discovered about myself - work is taking too much out of me. I received so many compliments about how good I looked on vacation—is it more sleep? less stress? more like all of the above. I didn’t miss work AT ALL!

Respecting and accepting other people’s point of view.
Realizing I am not always right (imagine that!)
Set my priorities….
Ask: What am I doing? and why?
Be specific
Visualize goals
Involve the senses
Express your feelings
Include values, principles and morals
Reconcile love in your life
Evaluate what is valuable
Keep a diary
