With the busyness of summer, it is hard to keep our heads afloat. Between 40+ hour work weeks, three jobs, family, friends, and maintaining mental and physical health, it is very, very hard to manage everything, at least for me.
That's where balance comes in.
I've gotten to the point where I'm tired of running around like a mad woman, simply because I'm not managing my time between work and play. I guess you could say my summer vacation has been all work and no play.
Going into the school year, I want to change this.
I am one of those people who either work on 100% or 0%. It is hard for me to live in the middle and not in the extremes. This is also something I've been working on for the past four years. Being obsessive/compulsive, it is hard to find my 50%, and it is my goal to find this through balance.
So, instead of going out with friends when all I want to do is sleep, I will let myself take a nap. My friends will always be there, and missing one night with them will not ruin our friendship, and the world will not end.
The world will not end, and your life will not be ruined if you choose to balance everything in your life.
Choose you.
