Overwhelmed, burned-out, exhausted, depressed, anxious, stressed, irritable, rushed? Does one area of your life demand most of your attention, while other parts suffer? You are not alone! A large majority of people are living chaotic, unbalanced lives today.
Home-Based Professionals
With home-based professionals, the problem is multiplied because we often lack a clear division between work and family obligations. By focusing on creating more balance between the important aspects of our lives, we can create more enjoyment and meaning in all areas.
It is important to remember that being out of balance is most often a HABIT. We don't intend to get out of balance, but our scattered thoughts and actions day by day eventually result in chaos and disorder. Fortunately, just like we got out of balance gradually, we can also choose to get back IN balance gradually. It is a process, and a journey.

You get your budget all worked out and then gas prices soar and your commuting expenses send you back to the drawing board. A new baby arrives, someone falls ill or dies, and everything changes.
Making Every Day Sacred
So many of us rush blindly through our days, fall into bed exhausted, and wake up the next morning to do it all over again.
Self-Discipline and Moderation
What is self-discipline exactly, and why is it important? I think many people in our modern society struggle with self-control (I know I do). There are so many temptations staring us in the face each day.
Forming Healthy Habits
Our minds become conditioned to doing things in a certain way, simply because we have done them over and over again in that exact way. This can be a good thing or a bad thing.

What would you consider to be your most precious possession? Your home? Car? Book collection? What about ... your body? It is surely your most precious possession because without it, you wouldn't be here.
