My life is well balanced.

I enjoy a life marked by order and balance, while still cultivating a diverse set
of interests. I am fully capable of maintaining the necessary structure to keep my
mind at peace.

To best balance my life, I prioritize my values. Understanding my values enables me

to identify the best way to spend my time. With my priorities in order, I fill out
my commitment calendar with a wide range of activities that I enjoy.

My planner has room for my responsibilities as well as my interests. I make it a

point to include one serious activity and one fun activity every day, because too
much of one thing can be detrimental to my life balance.

The key to achieving a healthy balance is to always make time to take care of
myself. I enjoy all other activities even more when I am fresh. I take care of
myself by nurturing my mind and body.

While working is important, I produce better work when I take time out to pursue
other hobbies or read my favorite books. Taking time to relax gives me a more
positive mental attitude about my work.

Beginning each day with the intention of making it the best day of my life helps me
to maintain a positive outlook. I know how to deal with adversity by putting
unforeseen events in perspective.

Today, I choose to keep a balanced life by designating a specific time in my

schedule for each of my priorities. I include a varied array of interests
throughout my day and intentionally take care of myself first.

hobbies?
