To live a well balanced, rewarding life of our dreams by day and sleep restfully at night.
The Mission of the Warm Milk Journal is:
To live a well balanced, rewarding life of our dreams by day and sleep restfully at night.
I know I Am out of balance when:
1. I see dark circles under my eyes
2. I’ve lost my zest for living
3. I collapse at the end of a work day
4. I am driving aggressively on the highway
5. I am short with family members
6. I have no time to pursue my hobbies
7. I am sleep deprived
I know I Am in balance when:
1. I look calm and radiant
2. I have energy to do anything I wish to do.
3. I smile frequently
4. I drive the speed limit and enjoy my commute by listening to my music and wishing my fellow highway drivers well
5. I enjoy quality time with family and when they are with me I am present with them
6. I make leisure time, hobbies, and taking care of myself a priority.
7. I sleep wonderfully and feel well rested.
In your journal explore this idea of balance.
When do you find yourself most in balance? Out of balance?
Breathe. Meditate or take a walk after focusing on what living a balanced life means to you.
Have a blessed day,
Debra
Debra,
Ah, balance. I love the practical and revealing list you provide to show a comparison between balanced and not balanced. What an eye opener. Our journals are the perfect place to discern when we’re out of balance. Then when we can see when we’re off balance, we can do something about it. Which brings positive change. I love this!
I have chosen your post, Being in balance: a journal writing exercise, for the #JournalChat Pick of the Day on 8/29/11 for all things journaling on Twitter. I will post a link on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, my blog and website, Refresh with Dawn Herring, and Refresh Journal: http://www.refreshwithdawnherring.blogspot.com/.
You’re welcome to join us for #JournalChat Live on Thursdays at 4 CST/2 PST; this week we talk about why our lives are worth recording in our journaling pages.
Thanks again for helping us remember to be balanced!
Be refreshed,
Dawn Herring
