It’s so easy for us to get caught up in the complexities of our everyday lives — work, relationships, our hobbies, our commitments. They seem to bog us down more than they fulfill us. Technology seems to burden us and make us feel guilty rather than make our lives easier. We stress over leaving work for a day, or not responding to someone’s email, then wonder why we didn’t sleep well or eat well, or squeeze in a workout or a nap or all the things that we know need and that nourish us. We almost seem to endorse the stress that takes over…wanting more of it, begging for more of it.

I’m struggling with it b/c a) It’s on the money, BUT b) I don’t want to EVER live like that. I don’t want my relationships or hobbies to “bog” me down; I don’t want to be “burdened” or “stressed.” I want to sleep well. Eat well. (And drink well, for that matter.)

I challenge you to identify your two primary life facets (business, significance, spiritual, family, social, financial, physical, education). Put those two life facets in the spotlight – on a pedestal – and I firmly believe the rest will take care of itself.

Insightful post. Thanks for sharing.
