One Balanced Life

Lately I've been feeling a bit like a frayed wire–a live one too! If you get too close to me you are likely to get shocked, which unfortunately my family has experienced as of late. When I end up here–this place of tension and anxiety, of butterflies and heart palpitations–I am now able to recognize the feeling for what it is...a call to action. This haywire feeling is a result of something in my life being out of alignment. Sometimes the answer and action are simple–attending to my physical space or physical being–and sometimes it is more complicated. Perhaps I am doing something that doesn't align with my purpose or values, or spending time with people or on activities that drain my energy. And then sometimes the answer is more elusive. Something has shifted on a fundamental level and I need to go deeper to explore and to respond with intention. So I get quiet, meditate, and sit with the discomfort. I know my path will be illuminated as long as I give in, let go, and wait patiently.
