365 Days That Count - Day 56 - Get into a routine & find your balance!

My life is comprised of many different elements that don't always compliment one another. Writing and property, boxing and yoga, production and counselling etc - they don't exactly go hand in hand and it can be extremely hard to find a manageable balance.

There has been so much change in the last few years it often feels like the moment I come to terms with one reality it shifts entirely.

I'm in the middle of another one of those shifts and this time I need a little help finding the energy to embrace it. I know I can and I will but to be honest, I'm tired. It feels like there's been a lot of hard work and a lot of growth but not much tangible reward.

I'm also struggling to stay balanced, one thing seems to need to take precedence over the other in such a way that it out-shadows it completely leaving me feeling half fulfilled and disappointed in myself for not fitting everything in.

I need to give myself a little help and right now, the best thing I can do is get into a routine.

There's so much possibility and variation and change at the moment, I need to balance that by finding a sense of normality. I haven't had two even vaguely similar days all year and probably for a long time before that.

I realise it's balance and moderation that I'm lacking and I desperately need a framework to fall back on when I get overwhelmed. The only way I'm going to feel in control is to rake the reins and start being proactive rather than reactive.

There are also a few things which have been taking a back seat recently that really shouldn't and I need to make time for them - yoga especially!

So I've spent some time this morning drafting a routine, I'm sure it's going to change daily but at least it's a guideline and at least it's balanced. I feel calmer already!

The last thing I want to do is "normalise" my life but I think giving it a bit more structure will allow me to do a better job of creating and living a life I love in the best possible way and to be honest, I don't think my life could ever be "normal" because I'm certainly not!

I'm feeling much better than I was yesterday and according to my planner it's lunch time, so that's it for now! :)

Love,
