You try to find the "middle", because it sounds like "balance" but the middle of what?
The middle of.......
wanting to be with your kids & family and wanting to be alone
taking care of everyone and taking care of yourself
being really lenient and being really strict
feeling exhausted and running around like crazy
indulging over the weekend and eating healthy during the week
yoga/running/HIIT/cycle and checking out of all of it
eating one Justin's Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup and eating the whole bag
getting totally organized and sifting through piles everywhere
Where's the middle? The check point? The balance? So often you go in one direction only to find yourself so far from the other side. You run from one extreme to another as you run right past the middle. Until you get exhausted from all that running.
It doesn't have to be this way. You get so caught up in life that it's hard to see what's right in front of you. What feels like the middle, the balance, that gives you energy, purpose and calm. When you get clear on what you want and how to get it, you find the sweet spot, you find your flow. And when you start to run too far to one side, you can smoothly steer yourself back to the middle....the middle of somewhere.
With lots of love and tons of health,
Jill
