FINDING BALANCE...
And harmony in life’s busy schedule
W e hear it all the
time , I am so busy, and
I can’t find the time to do
all the things I want to. It is
such a common theme, the
struggle with finding balance
and harmony in our busy
schedules.
We live in a society that
has accepted the belief that
you must work longer and
harder to be successful, to
make the money you need to
have all the things you want.
Accepting and living this type
of lifestyle can bring with it
numerous problems:

•
•
•
•
Little time for family or friends
No time for self
Left feeling frustrated and resentful
Poor health
These are just a few of the things we start to feel and experience.
What does Balance in your life look like to you?
Be real honest with yourself. Take time to sit in a quite place when and where you
won’t be interrupted. This is the time to do some self reflection on what your life is like
and what you would like it to be.
Make a list of what you would like to change to gain more balance and harmony
in your life.
