WOW - And here I thought that Summer had forgotten about us here in Southern California... how wrong I was - It's getting HOT in here! :)
Hope you had a great day - welcome to Day Thirteen of my (our?) adventure down a path to wellness, and no, it's not totally dragging and kicking either :) I want to do this.. it's time to get serious.. motivated and better than I've ever been! And if you get inspired by MY story, than maybe I can help you in some small way too. Nothing would make me happier!
Today's a day off from running (until we get to the point where there ARE no days off from running :) We're just not there yet!) - so not too much to report in the exercise department... I did a few reps for my forearms and biceps.. nothing too crazy, but better than nothing too!
Tomorrow will be Week Two, Day Three (!) of our C25K challenge... so far so good.. Tricia's been having issues with her knee(s), so the running has been difficult, but she's out there trying, and I'm proud of her for that.
So my topic of the day is this: How do you (DO you?) make time for YOURSELF every day? Either to relax, work on a personal project, goal, etc? A lot of people reading this blog have kids, or significant others, etc and busy work schedules to deal with. So how do you de-stress? How do you find time for YOU?
I don't have a good answer for this one tonight - that's why I'm turning the floor over to you all.. my solution has always been a bad one and has consistently failed me throughout my life and even now - I stay up until all hours.. once my wife and son have gone to sleep.. then of course I'm too tired to really accomplish anything coherent or worth-while. What do you do? Do you schedule time for yourselves? I'd love to hear some suggestions to this problem.
Being a 'creative' I have SO many things that I want to get done... but I need my sleep too.. How do you balance work, family and obligation?
That's my question of the day - I can't wait to hear your responses - because I could really use some help on this one :)
Have a great night, and thanks as always for reading - tomorrow is Week 2, Day 3 of Couch to 5K! Tune in for more fun then!
'Night!

Jeff, you might want to try a values assessment. Your values being your most important beliefs. Once you identify your values it's easier to prioritize and find balance. If something conflicts with your values this is where things fall out of balance. It's also important to realize that your values change periodically too. Something that ranked really high at one point in your life may not have the same meaning for you a few months, years, etc. down the road.
