Balance

When you find yourself teetering too far in one direction, bring some balance back into your life. Balance your work time with playtime. Balance your butterflying with quiet, uninterrupted periods of solitude. If you've been giving too much, let everyone know you're ready to recieve. Balance your diet. Too much of any one thing-no matter how good-can never be good. If you've been running around at breakneck speed, slow down before an accident or injury does it for you. If you have been sitting in front of a screen(any screen!) for too long, get up from your chair and dance or walk or swim, or stretch. When you feel like you've been balancing too many things too long, put some down. Do it slowly and mindfully, so you don't lose your balance while you do.

Until the next word....Take Care My Friends!!!!

    Welcome to "Serenity..."!

    I just skimmed your profile and read this: "I need to rebuild my confidence; if I really had much to start with."

    Hon, your confidence is tied directly to your self-esteem and your self-esteem is alive, even if it might not be as strong as it needs to be (yet).

    How do I know this? Cuz, it is your sense of self (self-esteem) that is pushing the past away and urging you forward to a future where your self-esteem is healthy enough to get rid of your anxiety & depression.

    LOVE THIS POST. Would be delighted if you'd repost it as a Discussion Topic (Possible Subject Line: Staying in Balance ??) in the Serenity Group.

    Please, please, please with "sugar" on it?? ;)

    BTW - Don't be surprised if you and Batdog hit it off. She loves pugs! Check out her A/V in the Friends section of Serenity! HUGZZZZZZZZ
