Balancing Life

There is so much in life that we try carry on our plates. Just like a salad bar with all "the works" we take what looks most appealing whether good or bad for us and pile it high on our plate. Eventually we realize our eyes were more hungry than our stomachs and we are left with food we are too full to consume.

I have found that narrowing your selection down and then taking small sample tastes of each item is important when trying to figure out which food item is actually worth going back for, then go back for a real serving size. In life it's fine to try new things here and there. Moderation is the key! If you take on too many things, you'll quickly find that there's simply not enough room for what's on your plate. Cut out the things in life that are not healthy for you or "important". Make sure you set your priorities straight. If what you value most in life is not lining up with how you spend your time then you'll feel overwhelmed, unhappy and unmotivated. Make time for family, friends and spirituality and you'll soon find that satisfaction comes from finding balance!
