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.

Shifting Wants (and other moving things)

 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!

This last year has been incredibly emotional for me. I have had some of the most trying relationship situations I have ever encountered in my life. Things have been put in perspective. It’s almost as if this whole last year has been putting things in place and preparing me for what’s to come.  

As with most things, while you are in the thick of it, it’s hard to see exactly what lessons you are supposed to learn from the things you are going through. But once the dust has settled and some time has passed, most things become clear. Or at least clearer.  

I’ve noticed that by experiencing things I don’t want, I become much more keenly aware of what I do want. Does this sound familiar to you? And then sometimes, what you think you want is not even really what you want, turns out it was something that it represented. Or you liked some elements of it and the rest was actually the opposite of what you wanted or not what you thought it was going to be. Or worse, you just liked the idea of it. Once the hard work kicks in, you’re like: “um, not so much”. 
This is part of the path of finding our passion. And once we have found our broader passion we must continue to fine-tune it, and mold it into that perfect cocktail for us. Some may say that I’m just being picky. And, you know, "you can’t have it all". It may sound like I’m lazy and just quit when the hard work comes around. But I don’t think that’s true.  
I’m not afraid of hard work. I don’t think anyone who has met me would ever call me lazy. Workaholic, maybe. In fact, when I’m working in my “zone of genius” as one of my favorite authors Gay Hendricks describes it, time flies by. It hardly feels like work at all. It feels like life.  

It’s finding that particular life-cocktail that is my zone of genius that is so tricky. And then being able to spend enough time inside that zone, that is the hard part. Because, yes, bills need paying and dog needs feeding and oh yes, we gotta eat. So if my life isn’t built in a way, at least not yet, where I can spend my entire waking life in my zone of genius, I need to spend at least some of my time on these things, more likely to fall into the zone of excellence, competence or, dare I say it, incompetence. That one is the worst.  

And then sometimes, you just need something for a time. You need a certain type of break. A reprise. A minute (or three years) to breathe. And that was me. And it has been really good for me. I realized so much about myself in these last three years that I never knew, and never would have known had I not taken that step back.  

​But then what you want and need shifts again and you have to move with it. And I think this might be the biggest lesson of all. Everything changes. Especially our wants and needs. They aren’t this set thing that you can aim for and then go “once I’ve achieved that, I’m done”. Because we are never done. We must move with our ever shifting wants and needs as they grow and evolve. Some move slow, some move fast (like that top I wore every other day for 2 months and now I’m over it). But always moving, always changing. And I am moving with these changes once again.
