I love the healthy living commandments on POPSUGAR Fitness because they are so very true. Living a healthy lifestyle is a balance of course, and it’s key to be flexible in life, but still it’s important to keep these in mind when living your life.
My idea of balance includes:
- working out consistently while incorporating rest days
- eating enough food to keep me satisfied but trying to make sure the foods are natural, unprocessed, whole, healthy, AND delicious
- feeling like I’m devoting enough time to my business and giving my clients the best service I can
- getting enough rest (I really struggle on this one…like anyone I don’t do well on little sleep but I’m not good about prioritizing it)
- intermittent travel (duh!)
- enough time to devote to keeping the house clean and personal endeavors like reading, cooking, or other hobbies
- laughing and having fun
- nurturing relationships with my husband, family, friends, & loved ones
- keeping one eye on the present and another eye on the future
I admit that I rarely, if ever, achieve a perfect balance in the items above, but I sure try! Life is a work in progress. Nothing that’s worthwhile is ever easy, so it’s worth it to work for it. I don’t beat myself up if one or more of these items above is out of whack, instead I try to figure out how to get things back in sync. Am I devoting too much time or effort to one or more thing? What can I do to get back in the groove?
Life happens and it happens fast. And to top it off, it’s constantly changing. I urge you to periodically reevaluate your goals and constantly work towards them. And don’t forget to give yourself a break to stop and smell the roses.
