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.
We may never win the battle of balancing life.
I do believe that everyone need time to escape life for awhile everyday. Whether that time is spent reading, swimming, jogging ... whatever. Without this time to ourselves life will start to win the battle.
I am able to swim three days a week first thing in the morning while my wife and children are sleeping. I also swim two evenings when my children are of with my wife at their activities.
It really helps to have a understanding spouse.
