Overwhelmed?

Well, the feeling usually comes when we are not in balance.

Doing too much of one thing, or many things, and not doing enough for
ourselves to get our batteries charged - and to get "whole" is usually
the culprit.

Focusing is a great thing, in the short term, but focusing on something
too long, can make our view...get a bit fuzzy.

We just need to "air it out" and take some breaks along our journey to
properly balance out...making us much more likely to complete the
journey we've started.

Maybe our mantra should be: "I am so balanced, I should be walking on a high wire".

And in doing so - we are reminded to balance along the way.

Sometimes, we have better things "to do"...

Than what's on our "to do" list.

We are not suggesting "blowing things off", but we sometimes need to
balance out.

"To do" lists are always there, and never get totally done, as life
always has
us add to them.

So why not just do some important things that are not on our list, and
which doesn't have to do with "stuff".

Maybe we can spend some alone time and re-charge our battery, or spend
some quality time with some of our friends or family, or maybe just
"be".

We all need to balance, and when we do, we don't need to worry, because
our "to do"
list will be there when we're done:)

Life doesn't get much better!

Sure we have our ups and downs, ins and outs, ahead and behind, we can
go on and on, it's just called balance, everything in life has balance.

We breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide, plants do the opposite.

The tide rises and then retreats, there is day and then night.

So what's the big deal about setbacks?? They're only balanced by comebacks.

And challenges...love 'em, they are just balanced by opportunities.

WOW, what a world we live in...it doesn't get much better than that.

Balancing our lives...

Must not only be for ourselves.

Balancing our own lives can be a challenge, but with a little focus, we can accomplish anything.

The real challenge that needs to be handled, is including "others", in part of our deal.

Have you recently shut down everything and engaged in some focused
communication with those who mean so much to you? Or have you been
putting it off? If we have been procrastinating, when we stop and think
about the reasons why we haven't done it...are pathetically defenseless.

When we spend enough time connecting, in person or in some other way
with the ones we love, it makes the whole balancing act worthwhile.

Exercise should get the...

Body moving and the mind to slow down.

In the last century, we have transitioned our daily routine from our
bodies doing most of the work, to our minds doing most of the work.

It's due mostly by advancements of machinery and technology and we've
become more of intellectually driven society compared from a physical,
task driven society...

In keeping up with the shift, we need to focus on balancing our minds
and bodies to attain the "right mix".

So giving a break to something that seems to be always engaged - our
minds - while we get the other thing working - our bodies - is a great
plan to balance out what needs to be balanced out.

You can always be a Winner and...

...not Always win.

We don't need to interpret every loss as losing, but as giving to that
which does not mean much to us...it's called "Choosing Our Battles".

Life is give and take, a beautiful balance, and even sometimes it's
better to let someone else "win", to help make the world a better place.

As the old saying goes "You can't win them all", you don't really want
to...just remember "The Winner sometimes takes the Loss".

Some of us...

Relax better than others.

That's OK, if we choose to relax, when things are
handled, or when we need a break ...it's just a part of balancing out.

Relaxing is a great way to re-charge our "batteries" and get out of our
head a bit, allowing us to be refreshed to "get back to it" when we
need to.

Just as some of us find it little easier to work than relax, and if that's the case - maybe a little
balancing out is in order.

Yours in Balance - Coach

There is only so much relaxing...

...you can do.

Work demands focus and energy and must be balanced out by rest, so the
more work you do, the more rest you need.

And when no work is being done - extended periods of relaxation soon
becomes laziness.

Because nothing much happens on the edge of your sofa.
