Disappointed but Relieved

I never made it to boot camp this week. And this was the last week :-( and there's no more boot camp until April. I'm disappointed that I started and couldn't finish this time around. But I'm also a little relieved because with all the appliances breaking and my work schedule being busy plus I am teaching a feng shui class and doing some angel readings and parties...it all adds up to not much time for myself. And I know my health and fitness should be a priority but I am so anxious about money and time and the holidays that something had to give and like most women out there, I gave up my self care. BUT...only temporarily. I plan on working out on my own at least 20 minutes a day. Cindy from Cynergy is sending me some exercise ideas and I can make a schedule and routine for myself. Cindy has invited me back to work out as soon as I can. I plan on going a couple days a week starting in January. I know this will make a difference in my life.

Why do women put themselves last? I want to do it all but I want balance in my life and right now I feel it is very unbalanced. All work, not much play. How do you balance your life???

Gut Instinct: Sometimes finding balance is like looking for the perfect house. You know the right house is out there; you may have to make some renovations but once it's all done, you can relax and enjoy. Life is like a house. Sometimes it needs work, sometimes you need help and sometimes you have to move/make a change.

Try this exercise to see how balanced your life is right now:

The Circle of Life
As a starting point you could try out this exercise, looking at the diagram consider each wedge in turn and rate it from zero = the worst it could be; to Ten = the best it can be. The wedge or wedges that come out the lowest are the ones that you could be working on to bring them closer to 10.
