Find Balance In The Midst Of Chaos

Has your life become a whirlwind of activity? Do you feel like you can't breathe sometimes? When you are overwhelmed with life, it's hard to maintain balance. Here are a few of my personal secrets to maintaining balance:

- Don't take part in the drama. There is always someone who will attempt to create drama in your life. They call at odd hours during the night begging for money; they show up unexpectedly and expect to be waited on hand and foot; they suck the energy from your body and soul. Don't be pulled into the negativity of their drama.

- Quiet time must be a top priority. Schedule special time often to relax and refresh. After a long day of business meetings or after-school activities with the kids, you need this quiet time. Don't turn on any electronic devices (television, iPod, laptop, radio, etc.). Sit in the quiet, alone with yourself, and allow your mind to recharge.

- Read an inspirational book. This is by far my most treasured form of abandoning the chaos. I love small inspirational books. These usually contain three to five pages per chapter. You can get a quick mental boost in five minutes or less. Many of these books are small enough in size and can be carried in your purse for quick pick-me-ups during the day.

- Write in a journal daily. A journal is a safe place where you can dump your thoughts and feelings. I personally write at least three 8 ½" x 11" pages by hand every morning. These pages have become my friend, a quiet confident whom I can turn to with my thoughts. This simple exercise keeps me centered and focused every day.

Finding balancing in the midst of chaos is never hard to do. You simply have to create the habit and work at helping yourself every day.
