Balanced life movement article number #3 6/13/18 Focused topic: Balance #2
Balance is so important to the topic of balanced self-care that I decided to make article #3 focus on the same topic as article #2, Balance.
Fortunately, many of us don’t even try to balance more than 2 or 3 things in our busy lives at one time. Unfortunately, it is not easy spending enough time to do a good job on the most important things in our lives to have a truly balanced life.
Unless you are retired, 5 of the 7 days in a week, most of us usually spend 7 to 9 hours working to earn a living; those of us who are retired spend that much time volunteering or on our special projects; if we are living healthy lives, 6 to 9 hours are spent sleeping; 2 to 4 hours eating and taking care of other necessary bodily functions. That leaves about 6 hours each of the five days of the week to do other things in your life that might fall into one of the following broad categories:
Spiritual connection
Mental health
Physical health
Family togetherness
Financial security beyond the regular work currently done
School
Finding or working on your passion, purpose, vision
Social connection/recreation activities
Civic involvement

When you look at the top 3 or 4 priorities in your life, you might get a chance to spend some quality time on them, Monday through Friday, but for the most part, the weekend is where some priorities are primarily focused.
Having a balanced life is not easy (even for those of us who are retired), but with some planning, organizing and intentional setting of priorities, its manageable. The internet is replete with sources on such useful topics as time management, organization, priority setting and life planning.
I published a self-care manual titled: “Healthy Living Quality Life” two and a half years ago, primarily for my own personal balanced self-care needs and also from 30 plus years of research related to my professional role as a counselor educator. If I received several requests for the chapter I wrote on balance, I would consider putting that chapter on my website to make it available to anyone interested. (healthylivingqualitylife.com).
I believe that most people who are fortunate enough to be living a balanced self-care life tend to be happier, more content with life, in general, and are under a lot less stress than those whose life is not characterized as having balanced self-care.
A lot of what is characterized as balanced self-care is dependent on the topic of my next article titled “Living a Healthy Lifestyle.” Stay tuned!
Be blessed!
