Balance Continues....

Let's assess. When you need "down-time," what do you do? What do you do?
Do you... watch television, play on the computer, email, video games, eat, exercise (or try), chat with comrades, drink, journal........... the list is virtually endless!

Today we are examining what we truly do to relax. There is a time and a place for all things, but are these things in the time and place they should be in your life (ie. watching the boob-tube endlessly night upon night to escape from reality...unless you love watching balance tv, lol)? Sometimes we are so consumed by the chores and routines in our lives that we become stagnant and unable to grow to be better people: kind of like horse blinders... does that make sense?

Be accountable to yourself! Our time needs to become more valuable to us! We NEED to harness the precious time that we have along with our energy to better our lives, not just for ourselves, but for the world around us!

Instead of focusing on becoming better people, we become so consumed on making it through the day and getting to the next "check" stop. Unless we "make time" for bettering ourselves (find a place to add it to your day planner right now... seriously mark in some YOU TIME, ie. personal growth time) we will not truly appreciate what tangible things we've achieved in our lives.

Self-growth, like information, is not learned through osmosis, but through hard work, determination, and PRACTICE... painful as it may be, if it doesn't kill you will make you stronger... guaranteed... you simply have the choice.

Get to work on yourself: we are!
