Balance = A Warm Heart and a Genuine Presence

One of the quickest ways to misery is to constantly seek out new products, experiences, and events. When you do this nothing is ever enough. Satisfaction is foreign and appreciation is forgotten.

Our world is set on fast forward. It seems there are very
few people that aren't in a hurry. Constantly striving, competing and comparing result in exhaustion from never
ending to-do-lists.

One of the keys to happiness is to savor, enjoy and

appreciate what you have in your life. It's necessary

to stay present in the moment and pause between

life events.

How do you know if you have balance in your life?

I know my life is in balance...

When I feel happy in the present moment

When I have time to be kind

When I'm not rushing through yellow lights

When I can go on a vacation and leave my phone in the hotel room

When I exercise regularly and eat healthy

When I take time to relax because it's a beautiful day and life is short

When I feel patient and calm

When I don't have the need to get in someone else's business

When I take the time for important things

I encourage you to make your own list.

My daughter and son-in-law both work full time so we help them

out as much as we possibly can.

Last week we helped my granddaughter paint her bedroom orange.

We straightened out her shelves, organized and helped her "let go" of

toys, clothes and shoes she has outgrown.

Kenzie turned 13 in April. Her bedroom was transformed from a room of

a child into the room of a teen. My grandson who turned 10 wants us to help

him paint his room gray with an English "D" in honor of the Detroit Tigers.

We have 8 weeks before we move to Arizona.

I know my life is in balance because we said, "Yes."

This week catch yourself having thoughts of fear and anxiety.

Look within to see where you can make a change or two.

If life overwhelms you and you feel overworked and stressed

out give me a call. As a life coach I can help you change your

world. Cell 616-460-6729

Because happiness matters!
