2013- the year of balance

 

2013

HAPPY NEW YEAR

 

long time between blogs and one of my goals this year is to 'get back into it'...

so.... great to see you again and i hope that you can find a little inspiration from Heidi Marie x 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BALANCE!

I'm not sure if you are aware but the last four months i have been living with a nasty little virus inside my brain which affects my balance horrifically. At first i was scared... then i did the 'OH wohas me' for a little while...I turned to anger and the 'It's not fair' mantra and finally when none of those served me any longer I have come to accept it and actually be grateful that it came as a 'warning sign' in my life.

 

 

 

 

Acceptance you ask? Yes!! when i took a long hard look at my 'situation' I realised: My lifestyle is FAR from balanced. I run around like a crazy woman trying to fit in as much as possible and attempting to  help and be there for as many people as I can. GO GO GO!!

 

But this illness stopped me in my tracks. bouts of uncontrollable vomiting...dizziness like being inside a washing machine...no control over any of my body... it is like THE most extreme hangover you could imagine.

 

Yet as soon as I started to feel a little better off i went AGAIN and  STILL not learning my lesson ended up bed ridden AGAIN. 

It has taken me 4 'episodes' and I Hope I have learnt my lesson...

 

 

 

...its...BALANCE!!

 

 A coincidence that the illness I have called 'labrynthintisis' affects my balance? and this is the area of my life I struggle with the most??

I don't think so.

 

Like these gorgeous children... we need to take life more carefully...weigh up what and who is important...be mindful that if we don't look after ourselves there will come a time that we will  fall and then we are no good to anyone.

 

...balancing our lives is a tricky task, it takes patience, awareness, good time management and also being a little selfish. yet these choices are a lot easier to make than suffering the consequences of no balance in our lives.

(trust me...I know)

 

 

 

BALANCING

 ...work and play...

...indulgence and control...

...giving and receiving...

...friendship and self...

it sounds ALOT easier than it is but WE NEED to learn to care for ourselves

...especially when we've been taught to put others first...

...but its necessary!

 



I WILL get back on my elephant (hehe)

it may take some time and remembering to live with more balance but i WILL get there

and so can you
 

BALANCE
 your life in 2013 and enjoy the ride x
