Create Balance

“The key to keeping your balance is knowing when you've lost it.” ~Anonymous

Wow, this month is flying by!  February is nearly over and I just realized this is my first blog entry of the month!

February has been jam packed--so much going on!!!  Thankfully, I was fortunate enough to squeeze in a vacation--a much needed one!  When I started my own company, I assumed getting away from work would be much easier since I was my own boss.  It’s actually the complete opposite!  And while it was difficult to leave work behind, it was wonderful to take some “me” time to recharge my batteries and seek new inspiration.

I don’t know about you, but it seems life just keeps getting crazier by the day.  With so much going on, I find it hard to carve out “me” time.  And trying to meet up with friends?  Gosh, I have to schedule that out at least a couple of weeks in advance since their schedules seem to be equally insane!  Going on vacation and slowing down the pace was a great reminder to recreate the balance.

Without balance, we’d go crazy.  It’s not healthy.  I learned that myself a few years ago.  I was a self-proclaimed workaholic, “married to my job” as I used to joke.  When I quit that job, I spent quite a bit of time at the other end of the spectrum--sleeping in every day, reading the newspaper at Starbucks each morning, practicing yoga like crazy and traveling.  Also not reality--at least not unless I win the lottery! :)  It’s all about balance.

Through my yoga practice, I’ve worked on finding balance in my life.  Unfortunately, I haven’t been to a class in quite awhile due to a grumpy body.  It’s amazing how easy it is to get off track--which is why my trip came at a great time.  Relaxing, soaking in some sunshine and enjoying the beauty of nature through some magnificent sunsets helped me check back in and focus.

So now I’m back, recharged, and ready to roll.   It’s difficult to juggle our work and personal lives, but it’s worth the effort to keep the scales leveled and constantly work at creating balance.

As of reminder of this to myself, I bought a cute little frog figurine doing yoga while on vacation that literally says “create balance.”  How perfect!  Cute, huh?



Smile! :)
