One Balanced Life

Today was one of those days where there were actually enough hours...
a little work, a little culture(a free family Mozart concert performed by the Saint Paul Symphony - the kids made it through almost one piece), some delicious food I didn't have to cook, a delightful little run around the lakes (only delightful because of some amazing kites being flown otherwise it was freezing), a little facial, and even fit in a little grocery shopping, a little wine and relaxation. So many weekends I find myself frantically trying to catch up on work, errands, and household chores and I'm left exhausted and unsatisfied.

I'm slowing down, simplifying, and prioritizing...some family time, some exercise, some work, whatever I need to do to experience a sense of balance. I continually realize self-care is about so much more than pampering, it is about letting go of expectations and taking a break from or letting go of things that drain my energy.

The laundry doesn't need to be done today, the house doesn't need to be spotless and canned soup is fine for dinner. Life balance is about listening to what you need and taking steps care for yourself...making small adjustments to help life move a little more smoothly.

My Challenge of the Day for you is to consider what do you need today to feel more balanced, energized, focused, and peaceful? Then create One Balanced Day for yourself and enjoy!
