Balance is what I'm always striving for, but sometimes there's so much going on, so many priorities, so many to do's that I don't even know what balance is supposed to look like anymore. For me, when I reflect on where to go next and feel pulled in a dozen directions, that is a sign that I need to simplify somehow. Here are a few ways that we can seek balance through simplifying today.
-Just because I live in an American society doesn't mean I have to have, get or do more. Not today anyway. Today, be content with what you have. And think of how you would live if you lost it.
-Sometimes we glorify the exciting, the rarity, the extra special things. Today, put that excitement and enjoyment into an every day task, as though it were a royal celebration. My attitude towards my day is all in my perspective of it.
-We all like to multi-task, especially when it gets more done quicker, but sometimes that heavily decreases the quality and intrinsic value of the task. Today, do one task at a time. Take out the television or ipod as a friendly distraction. Stop typing when you're having a conversation. Give undivided attention or don't give attention at all. Try it and see what's different.
