Have you ever felt your life would never be normal (whatever that is) again? Are you consumed and eaten up by the time monster…the task master….the project exhauster…or the baby demander…well I have been consumed for the last three months more than ever. I am so behind in my personal life that I am not sure I even have one….my floor is covered with receipts for the expense reports I don’t have time to
process….my refrigerator is bare (not a bad thing unless you’re hungry)…and my mail is stacked up on the chest in my front hall longing to have someone open and toss! Lack of sleep…lack of play…make for a very lackluster day.
Now I must say that I love what I do…just not at the present pace…so how does one stop the insanity and begin to enjoy living again….
For the past few weeks I have focused on my dilemma? The crux of the problem…LACK of BALANCE. The dictionary says that Balance is the stability of one’s mind or feelings…What gives me balance…
1. My God/My Faith….I had become so busy that my quiet time had almost disappeared….
2. Engaging in play….Too much to do…so no time for fun…was putting a damper on getting my job done.
3. Fellowship with family and friends…gives me a sense of community since I am on the road so much… encouragement and support
When all three are utilized…I’m running wide open on all cylinders….loss of one not bad…but loss of three…whoa as me!
I am making some adjustments…spending time with God…learning golf…having friends for dinner…
Let’s see if I can find time to blog…
Are you MIA….how can you change your focus?
