I am realising how out of balance my life has become. Not just my eating, but everything else that I do. I seem to just have a habit of being ‘busy’ all the time.  And I don’t really make time for myself just to have fun or enjoy myself. I work and thats about it. I’ve been in a rut and I’m climbing out for good this time.

I remember once doing a writtten exercise where there was a wheel with six spokes, and I had to rate where I was on that spoke out of 10. The idea was to try and get the different areas back into balance so the wheels can turn smoothly and the journey of life is less bumpy. The spokes were:

• health
• spiritual
• financial
• relationships
• career
• hobbies

 Right now if I had to rate them they would all be about a 4 out of 10…..

So to try and get some balance back in my life I am drawing up a loose timetable for each day so I can set aside time to work on each area.

My goals for this weeks balancing act:

• less time online

• exercise 30 minutes every day

• relaxation exercise 30 minutes every day

• shop for healthy food

• phone a friend and arrange lunch out to catch up

• organise my desk ready for studying

• spend an hour in the garden this weekend

• declutter my lounge room and clean my desk
• go through my bills and write up a new budget

I’m going to try and set weekly Balancing Act goals and check off my progress.
