Being Balanced

Living in America, well living in NYC, it can become really easy to get unbalanced in life. With the stress of a busy job, families and social life our lives often begin to crumble right before our very eyes. Without realizing it we will soon be buried under this rock we call life.

At the beginning of this year I wanted to make not a resolution, but a solution for the year. A solution to keep from under that rock. I have made a declaration to make my life more balanced. That means professionally, physically, sexually, socially, mentally and most importantly spiritually. I realize that the main reason that many things that I wanted to accomplish last year didn't get done was because I wasn't focused. My mind was racing a thousand miles a minute and I had ninety different things on my plate at once. I didn't allow myself time to focus on me and the things that are most important. So, to get started on my more balanced life I did the following things:

1. Pray about my situation. I always try to consult with God on everything that I do. No matter how big or small the situation may be.


2. Make a list of everything and prioritize them. Putting things down on paper for me has always been the best method. Seeing it always makes it real.


3. Lastly, I take a big breathe and let it all out. The best thing about becoming a balanced person is becoming stress free. There is no way that you can focus on balancing your life when stress is a part of it.

All in all this process will totally rely on the person. Whatever works for you do it. There is no need to add unnecessary stress to your life. I have to tell you working on balancing my life has been the most rewarding things thus far. I definitely look forward to the future.

Let me know how you balance your life. Share your comments below.
