Ever feel you are rushing through your days, trying to keep multiple balls in the air? Of course you do. We’ve all been there at some point.
I feel incredibly blessed that I get to spend the time my daughter is at school doing whatever I want. It sounds better than it feels, for some reason. Exercise. Shower. Read e-mail. Do blog stuff. Run errands. And the majority goes to my classes and creating time.
Every day there are way more to-dos than I could possibly accomplish. It feels like I’m rushing. I can’t find time to do it all.
Sometimes you need to create space in your schedule. A couple of friends have implemented self-imposed restrictions on taking courses, social networking, and even TV time. One friend took a year off of visiting his life coach and called it his Year of Integration, where he allowed what he’d learned to settle in his mind and heart.
By now you know that I am taking too many e-courses (and yes, I agreed to contribute to “Inspired Mama” – more on that soon). They are delicious, but they don’t allow for any down time. You’ll notice, however, that after the end of May, many will have ended. After June, they will all have ended except for the ongoing monthly ones. I plan to take advantage of the extra space in my schedule. If I aim to find stillness and calm in my days, adding more and more is obviously not the answer. Let’s see how I do with fewer to dos and more quiet, daydreaming, lounging, and reading.
How are you balancing your life?
