Balancing Life

Creating A Life with Balance and Purpose

Be grateful

Find an hour a day for reflection and prayer

Keep it simple

Keep your house picked up.

Don’t over-schedule

Strive for realistic goals

Create a quiet surrounding at home

Go to bed at 9:30 to reflect and read

Wake Up early and exercise

Move More—walk, dance, and BIKE

Drink lots of pure water

Eat only real food not processed

Set aside one day a month just for yourself

If you don’t love it, live without it.

Stay away from negative people.

Don’t squander precious time, energy and emotions

Nurture friendships at least once a month

Don’t be afraid of your passions

Approach problems as a challenge

Appreciate beauty

Be happy and cherish your dreams

Express love every day.

Greet everyone you meet with a smile.

“If you have a healthy mind, a healthy heart, and reserves of stamina and creative energy to draw on, the world is literally lying at your feet.  With your health you have everything.”  Sarah Ban Breathnach

I created this list of wisdom to live by based on advice from Sarah Ban Breathnach’s book, Simple Abundance.  Sarah had a similar list of coping with stress however I wanted my list to more of a way to look at life positively. 

It is my list of ways I strive/struggle daily to improve my life and myself as a person.
