A while back, my husband encouraged me to start setting goals in all 7 areas of my life: spiritual, physical, financial, personal development, family, relationships, and career. The goal-setting was great, but I kept having one major problem... I was getting too focused on one area that I forgot about the others. I would get so frustrated to go back and see that my success rate was off and I was miserably out of balance. Being off balance set me up to radically swing to the other side and get off balance once again. And when I was swinging from one extreme to the next, it turned out to be quite a bit more terrifying than that nice little porch swing I wanted to be chillin' on.
Across the board, there seems to be one main area that most people struggle with to find balance: physical health. Everyone has their own opinions on what you should or shouldn't eat and how you should or shouldn't exercise. We can all get a little extreme in our stance and get off balance- robbing ourselves of truly enjoying life. My hope is to encourage practical ways to eat healthy, live healthy, and (gasp!) enjoy it!
Share some of your thoughts and struggles so we can discuss practical ways to get fit, living- meaning your life does not have to stop or be miserable on the way to reaching your goals and finding balance.
I am already in love with your blog miss Becca! I'm looking forward to reading your recipes and suggestions for healthy living. I'm currently working on finding that balance and learning to accept the body/metabolism I have now, as opposed to the one I had in high school. You are such an encouragement to me, and I'm excited about following you blogging journey!
