I have been struggling lately finding balance in my life. For short period of time, I was able to focus most of my time on my family, but I wasn't doing enough for myself and I was not happy. When I decided to focus more on myself and swim more often, I wasn't very happy with how much time I was spending away from my family. The past few months, work interrupted my swimming schedule and other life happenings required most of my focus; now my swimming has been much less than what I want it to be. I want to find a happy balance between all three. I know that compared to some of you that I am still young, but I worry that my life is slipping away and I am not enjoying it as much as I can.
I am curious as to how to find that magical balance and be happy with all three, or if I am looking for something that does not exist. Thanks.

I feel the same way. Sometimes I feel like I take my swimming to seriously and less for my schooling. It's tricky I swim three times a week in the mornings and twice on fridays; one in the morning and one in the evening, but I ve been running on my off days. I don't have a job so school is my work and I feel like i put school on the back burner because when I should be doing school work I am out exercising. On the contrary if I don't exercise as much and have the interactions with my master's teammates I would suffer in school and be less happy. If anyone finds a way to solve this I would like to know as well.
