"I'm great, busy with work... I am so blessed to do what I love for a living, I just have a hard time finding the balance".
This year has been a complete whirlwind, and I cannot believing that it's already November 1st! Wow! Seriously- where does the time go?
As you can see... my last blog post here on my personal blog was back in April, and I can honestly say that was the last time I was actually able to stop and compose my thoughts into a post. You have probably seen my various blog posts on Evans Fashion Fix, City Chic's Inside Chic, Sealed With a Kiss Designs, and of course, PLUS Model Magazine... between working on projects with all these awesome plus size companies, styling photo shoots, working with personal clients, design consulting, and traveling to NYC for styling projects, I find it hard to maintain my own blog, much less other things in my personal life. Since I have been under a "work rock" I have let other things fall by the wayside, and as much as I would like to think I am a superwoman, I can never find the balance of work and personal life.
Today is 11.01.11 and it only seems right that this date marks a fresh start! Two more months left in the year and I am committing to myself to live a balanced life.
So, that being said- what does this mean to me:
- going to bed before midnight
- exercising/being active every day
- calling my family and friends every week
- scheduling "date night" with my boyfriend at least once a week
- placing time frames on tasks and sticking to them
- being less of a control freak perfectionist (which, ironically tends to hold me back from being productive)
Ok- that is my list... seems easy and basic, but these are the things I am missing in my hectic schedule and that I feel will help me stay focused and grounded.
What do you do to maintain the balance in your life? I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

You've won half the battle. You thought about it and made a list. All that's left is to do it! I make those personal lists all the time. The best way to be successful is incorporate each task one day or week at a time. Best of luck to taking some time for you. I'm working on making me a priority, too!
ReplyDeleteGalyn, I completely agree! I am excited to make these changes! xo
