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.
Really glad to see posts on this topic. We recently adopted a dog and we're trying to adjust our schedules with the new family member. It is nice to hear from so many people on what they do to find balance and the struggles they can have with it. There are days I read through the blogs and I feel like a complete slacker and wonder why can't I do it all??? It's good to be reminded that for most people it takes work to find a good balance and that life can get in the way of certain things and that when it does, that's ok, it happens to us all sooner or later. What is important is how we deal with it.
I'm hoping to get back on a more regular schedule next week assuming the new pup continues to make progress in her training, for now I am enjoying coming home to her after work, taking walks through the neighborhood, and watching her go crazy at the dog park!
