Today I am a blessed girl who has struggles from time to time trying to find balance. How does one find balance in work, chores, health, quality time with family members, and herself? I have learned so much about myself and faith in the last 10 years of my life. By no means am I saying that my life is now perfect. I can count many blessings but they have come after so many tears. Some of the tears from not relying on God because I thought I could do it all on my own.
Before I learned to have a faith and a personal relationship with God I was off balance. I don’t want you to think that at times I do not still get off balanced but I do want you to believe me when I say that the Only way for me to get back in balance is to simply talk to God. Ask him to revive to me and to help me see what my purpose for the day is. Ask him to take over, take over my heart, my voice, and my time. Ask him to help me put numbers on what is a priority.
I think of all the things I enjoy and all the roles I play for so many, when I am off balance my heart suffers. When I am not relying on the most important relationship everything seems so overwhelming. I don’t conquer my to do list with a clear mind, I don’t communicate well. I start to doubt my ability to parent and doubt weather I can be a godly wife. I enjoy running and the effects of keeping physically active, it keeps my body firm and it gives me energy. However, when I an not balanced I have a hard time lacing up my running shoes. I struggle to make it to the gym.
Without balance I cannot shut my brain off to enjoy any if the hobbies that I love. The joy is gone. When I am not focused on my divine relationship my other relationships struggle. They struggle because I fail to communicate through my heart and I lose my patience quickly. So when I find that I am not moving towards my goals weather they be at work, home,with family or in the gym I have learned how vital it is to just be still talk to my heavenly father asking him to lead me to to place of balance.
What are some ways that you try to remain balanced?
