A Life in Balance

​ Welcome to my Blog. It is going to be living on Patreon, but will be free for everyone for the time being. Hope you enjoy!

In a perfect world, we would be able to balance it all. The career, the family, all the projects we want to create. Toss in some traveling and still have time to do some gardening and soak up the sun on the weekends.

I am told that most people have this experience. We decide to focus on one thing and the other falls to the wayside.
I've also noticed that once I get my balance and feel like "I've got this" something shifts. What was once perfectly balanced is no longer and we need to re-create the balance once again.

Maybe this isn't you. Maybe you have found the perfect sense of balance in your life. If you have, good for you. I feel like I am still figuring it out.

Someone once told me that balance is actually not simultaneously focusing on every aspect of your life and giving it equal attention, but the art of shifting your focus to where it is needed when it is needed. Like a giant balancing act, the constant moving of focus is how we lead a balanced life. 

​Just like they say multitasking really isn't focusing on multiple tasks at the same time, but the ability to shift your focus quickly between tasks. They say (those people who do all the research and say important things) that the human brain can only focus on one thing at a time anyway. 

So how are we ever going to create balance in our lives? Is it even achievable? Or is it something we will forever work on like I believe we do with life lessons and growth?

​My life has felt like a giant multitask lately and I have been carving away at and identifying things I don't really need. This kind of slimming down of life is the only way I know to work with unbalances. And then remembering to take some time to soak up the sun once in a while.
