I stumbled upon the "31 days" challenge over at The Nester like 31 minutes ago and have been going back and forth.
Would I be up for a challenge?
Do I have the time?
What would I write about?
When would I find the time to write?
How can I use this to grow?
October is the busiest month on the planet for me....
there is simply not enough minutes in the day...are there?
A few things became clear while I was arguing with myself.
1. I am busy.
2. October is so busy that it's a bit scary at the moment (as we are about an hour and 17 minutes in central standard).
3. I don't have enough time to do required things (like complete tasks at my job and eat and stuff)
4. Something's gotta give.
So for 31 days I'm going to do everything I can to find balance- not become balanced [big difference]. I'm not out to find some inner peace and tranquility, nor am I trying to promote a lifestyle shift of massive proportions.
I am simply going to try my harest to find one tiny thing in each of my next 31 days that shines a glimmer of equilibrial light. Maybe it's eating dinner that takes more than 3 minutes to prepare [and doesn't include an option to make it a combo]. Maybe it's me sitting down and intentionally thinking about something other than work for a whole 5 minutes.
Whatever it is, I'm going to find it. Or at least spend 31 days trying.
Wish me luck!

I'll be following along with you, as I am finding balance too!!!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your posts on finding balance, something I so desperately need!
ReplyDeleteHi Laura - we'll get through this challenge together - I am in the same boat as you. But go look on my blog. There is a separate page and it's called balance - it's a great visual. Feel free to use.

I'm currently reading Real Simplicity by Randy Frazee and Rozanne Frazee. It is a follow on from Randy's book "Making Room for Life". I am constantly challenged to simplify my life and make time for the important things. I look forward to joining you the next 31 days.
ReplyDeleteI'm in. You're words could be mine, exactly. I look forward to see how your journey impacts mine!
