"Be Moderate in order to taste the joys of life in abundance". - Epicurus
Balance, what does that mean for you? For many, balancing work, family, home is the normal answer from our pressure cooker society that pushes us to our emotional limits. Everyone suffers from stress, everyone..the scary thing is, kid's who shouldn't have a care in the world at their young age, are stress. We deserve relief from getting crucified daily by stress, which lead me to the topic of my post...balance.
As you know, since beginning this blog, I have come very far, okay, I have hit many walls on this journey to heal my past and make my present and future what I have always envisioned it would be, one filled with love, health, happiness and enjoyment and not taking everything so seriously or holding on to darkness that it consumes me. Along the path, I found teachers to help me through different stages, just as our bodies change, so does how certain things work for us After time, I noticed I wasn't getting the same results as before, either from my workouts, my very routine eating habits, my spiritual growth, my healing process, and so many others things, because I was stuck doing the same thing over and over, when all the results I could get from those things reached their maximum.
I was missing something, and I wasn't sure what. I am happier than I have ever been, I learned so much about myself and my health in this past year alone than I have in all my years so far, but I hadn't found balance between my body and mind, my health and my healing..my heart and my soul.
August was a very eventful, I came to see that I need to treat my body better, that I don't want to sit and stare at all the lean and cut girls in the magazines anymore, I don't want to wait around until someone shows up, that your thoughts are very powerful and I don't want to be a spectator anymore, I want to be a player in this game of life. I see more now around me than I did before, I see that I have the power to do what I wanted for so long...and all with balance.
Balance for me is respecting my body and mind, balance my light and dark, taking good care of myself not just for a few weeks, but build a healthy and loving way to treat all parts of my life for life.
It's lunacy to put up with being chronically anxious, fatigued or depressed, as so many of us have, so I call you all out to the field, no more sitting on the sidelines, or waiting in the outfield, I challenge you to come out and play, put away your fears, your fatigue, your past, grab a bat, and take a hit in the game of life.
xoxo
