If I looked back on the numerous diaries and journals I have kept over the years there is a common theme I could find in all of them: finding balance. I don't know if everyone struggles with balancing the different aspects of their lives or if they are simply okay with one aspect ruling the others. Maybe most people are balanced and don't think of it as much as I do. I don't really know. All I do know is I'm tired of saying it, writing it and thinking it. I want to DO it and I can't think of a better time than the present.
What I mean by balance is having equal parts of health/fitness, relationships and career in my life. The most challenging for me is the health and fitness part. I'm tall, so I have that going for me, but I definately could lose about 15 pounds and tone up. I have been reading fitness magazines since I was probably 13 years old. I know how to do it. I know it's a mathmatical function (burn more calories than you take in), but for some reason I let this fail me. Especially living back in Indiana makes it so hard to eat well, because honestly that is all there is to do here. Kidding, kind of. Relationships come and go and a lot is out of my control (for the romantic ones at least), but all I can do is nuture the ones that I have, be a good friend, and hope that the other is there for me as well. I'm not so much focused on this, except for the simple fact to maintain, love, and just be. However, a career, is something I have to work harder at more than ever. I am working on striving to be the best at where I currently work, as well as, writing and finding time for my passion. I have so much that goes through my head everyday and it's a shame I don't take the time to share with you all about it. I want to market my site and start writing for columns in local newspapers/magazines. This is another area I need to work on.
Maybe it's unrealistic but I want to be beautiful on the inside and the outside. I want to be a exceptional business woman. I want to wake up every day and be happy to be alive and to know that I have done everything I could to accomplish my dreams and make a great life for myself and eventually my family. I also know a lot of that has to do with being at peace spiritually with myself. It's not about the materialistic things that I own, but it's more about loving myself for the person that I am. I have high expectations for myself and I don't want to fail. I won't settle.
