Balance!?!

It would be so great to find the balance in life.

TIME!
Balancing time is tricky. There's a time to work, a time to play, a time to relax and a time to learn. I need to listen.

ACTIVITY!
Balancing other things in life so there is time for healthy activity at a good intensity for an adequate amount of time is challenging. I just need to listen.

FOOD!
Balancing types of food I put into my body is so important . Is the food good for my body or am I giving into cravings even seeking out bad-for-me choices? Guess I'll just listen.

SLEEP!
Balancing awake time and sleep time is essential for good mental and physical health. I want to say "Good night." Earlier and just listen.

WEIGHT!
Balancing my weight, keeping it in my goal weight range, is one of my aims. If I can manage each of the above areas it will be easier to stay at a healthy weight. I am going to listen.

This winter it seems as though I have given into many food cravings. I am an emotional eater and don't like winter much. This winter has brought us record amounts of snow, fog, arctic blasts and just dreary days. I love SUNSHINE! I keep thinking that there must be a way to live through winter without going nuts or eating the fridge. I'll be working on that and let you know what I find out.

I have been racking my brain to get the essential nutrient foods and water in each day. If I think on a thing hard and long enough I start to dwell on it and stew over it without much positive affect. So I want to take TIME and regroup without obsessing.

I have decided the best way to deal with the above issues is to listen to my body and be able to interpret what it is trying to tell me it needs, then forgive myself for slipping up sometimes and go on with trying to be a good me.
