Have you ever tried to juggle? I bought a book complete with the juggling balls that says even a klutz can learn to juggle. Confession time here, I am NOT the most coordinated person, SO perhaps learning to juggle may not become one of my talents or super powers.

Yet, sometimes, I do more juggling than balancing on any given day. Just not with juggling balls.

Everyday each of us attempts a balancing act or a juggling act; I invite you to examine your own life. We juggle family, friends, home and work and our social interactions. These days I find that I am juggling more and more things all the time. 

There are projects and meetings along with personal obligations, friends and family. We work long hours, fit personal errands such as banking and shopping into our lunch breaks and weekends. Then there’s the deluge of social media, E-mail, voice mail, regular mail and the constant access via cell phone. Well, I could go on, could I not?

The very things that are supposed to make our lives easier often make our experiences stressful and complicated too. We HAVE indeed learned the art of juggling.

Time is finite, you only get a certain amount – 168 hours a week, fifty two weeks a year 1440 minutes each day…… and it seems that we are busier than ever! And more stressed?

We each have a choice about how we live our lives, and how we spend our time. You can either continue to juggle and hope to get better at it. OR you can start making conscious decisions and look for balance.  Which may begin with saying no to things that no longer serve you.

I know my ‘to do’ lists gets quite lengthy sometimes.  This is when I sit myself down and determine what is important. I ask myself a couple of questions: What are my goals?  Can I delegate something?  Can I eliminate something?  Does this really need to be done? Hmmmm  Yep, that ‘to do’ list is a choice.  

One of my roles as a life coach and spiritual adviser is helping you to look at your life and examine why 

Review your own answer to the questions I posed. How can you start living a more balanced life and do less juggling?  

Balance: A state of equilibrium, mental steadiness or emotional stability.   A healthy division of life activities that promotes ease, calm and joy.
