I was having some personal quiet time today and began thinking about the importance of maintaining balance in life. Speaking for myself, I can say that juggling the responsibilities of being a mother, wife, business woman, and pastor can become overwhelming at times. I feel the same emotions, frustrations, and challenges that everyone else does!
Some days I handle them better than others, but I’ve found the key to having a peaceful attitude, in the midst of everything life brings, is BALANCE! Even though we have a lot of things on our plates, it is important to take a time-out and do something uplifting for ourselves. Whether it’s going to the spa, sitting down with a good book, or just finding some quiet time for yourself on the weekend, take a moment to pause, and exhale.
When you balance life’s responsibilities with “mandatory” personal time, you will find new enjoyment in your relationships and a renewed ability to handle everything you have to do!

I totally agree. My mandatory personal time begins at 5:30 am with a yoga session three times per week and two days of 6:00 am group fitness training. I am usually up early watching Daystar or otherwise listening to ministry resources which assists me in my prayer life which needs work.
ReplyDeleteI had the hardest time trying to make everything fit into this neat and neurotic little package. I stay at home with my kids, I home school them, I'm working on a book to be published soon, I love to study the Word, and a host of other time consuming hobbies that leaves my husband scratching his head.
ReplyDeleteBalance was not something that I was able to grasp because I sometimes found myself spending more time doing certain other things while letting another set of tasks wait quietly on the shelf. I soon learned to delagate, prioritize, schedule, and forgive myself for not getting a chance to accomplish absolutely everything in one day. I also had to learn that it was okay to find time for me even if it is hiding in the bathroom for fifteen minutes a day...with the lights off...hoping that my youngest doesn't catch on and peek under the door!
