If I had __(a)____ then I could do __(b)____, or I would be a better _(c)____. How many times have you obtained (a) only to find yourself not doing (b) or being (c)? At the risk of sounding like an algebra equation, think about it. As long as we are yearning for something out of our reach we will always have an excuse not to be our best self right now, at this very moment.
So I challenge you to stop for 3 minutes and think about something that you have really been wanting to do but keep putting it on the back burner. Start small, something you can do today or this week and then DO IT! Make a phone call to a friend, read a book, try out that new recipe you have been eyeing on Pinterest. In fact, leave a comment if you are willing to share on what you plan to do.
Find out how good it feels to accomplish something that you have been putting off, you're going to want to do it again and again!
It is so easy, talk about instant gratification! Notice however, as you start experiencing these mini moments of glory how you begin to glide through your To-Do lists, you feel more confident, you doubt yourself less, and it is easier for you to follow through with plans.
So how does this relate to balance?
Once you stop daydreaming about what you wish you could maybe be doing and start making decisions, commitments to yourself, your family, and your happiness become second nature. You have created a flow within your life, you spend less time worrying about what might be or what could be and you're actually out there, living in the moment - one small step at a time.
I'm pretty sure that Devo summed it up the best
"Shape it up! Get straight! Go forward! Move ahead!"
