The four “keys” to a balanced life.

Through every experience in life, we are affected emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually. These specific four things hold the key to our living peaceful, happy, healthy, and productive lives. And it is through good maintenance of these four keys that bring us the balance which we seek for in life. And when lack of balance is an issue, we find ourselves frustrated, and even missing out on too much of life's wonders.

We find that many things that we are most passionate about in life affect us emotionally. Our thoughts, feelings, values, and beliefs. Our emotional stability is very important to maintain. And through many experiences in our lives, we find that emotional stability defines how we handle certain issues. There is a lot of turmoil in the world today, and our emotional stability will help us cope with the stresses that come with these experiences.

Mentally, we find is the foundation from which we function on a daily basis. Even a simple debate in our head over what to cook for dinner can become frustrating. There are many larger decisions in life which can seem quite overwhelming, and possibly unable to solve on our own. If we find ourselves in a fog all the time, or too much of the time, then that balance is also off and affects other things going on in our lives at the same time. The more mentally sound we are, the more productive our lives are in many different ways.

Physically, it is quite common to all, that we must maintain our health to live a longer and healthier life. Regardless of what your health issues are, this maintenance should be important to you personally. Due to physical health affecting other activities in life, by recovering from it and learning a new balance, it will help you in other situations as well.

Spiritually we are affected in life by many different experiences, and many times we don't even give recognition to it. For many people , spiritual balance is the last thing anyone worries about. When in fact it is probably the first thing they should worry about. In fact I personally believe in today’s world, this should be taught in school. Because spiritual balance is about "you" as a person, your inner self, your strength from within. And through maintaining our spiritual balance, we have the peace and happiness which we seek for in life. And regardless of the experiences that come our way, we find an inner strength to get through it.

Mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually you are a special person, a beautiful person, a strong person. And through balance of these four keys, you will find the path to freedom #balance #Joy #Happiness #Anxiety #Love #MentalHealth #physical #Loneliness

I wrote a poem for my Mother who lives with me and my fiance because she has end stage COPD and is on an oxygen concentrator 24/7. #Caregiving

-Mother-

Some years ago I learned the tale
Of the woman who had been woven
From a golden light
Who brought that sunlight with her to bring the day back to life

It's said any place her smile would go
Wiltted flowers would bloom
With a secret magic
That would vanish lonely feelings from dark rooms

She was a silent fighter
With a demon sitting on her lungs
Often stealing the breath right from her
But could not conqure the prayers on her tounge

As the demon grows more heavy
Her heart weighs in tow
Pained by the weakness
But she'll never let you know

Her soul and heart remain warm
Untouched by the cold
They call her a living angel
Her tale woven by heavens gold

Offense

I acknowledged today that I am someone who takes offense easily of what people say to me.
Whether it is at home, at work, or even among friends and family. Any comment or feedback I take personally. And that is a trigger.
I break myself down, pound on my own heart and leave little left for myself.
I am trying to remind myself now that most people don't know what they are doing or saying; they don't realise what is does to me and my thoughts.

I am going to try and treat everyone with love, not judge them for their words or actions, and forgive them for the hurt they've caused.

We are all just trying our best and sometimes our best is a lesson we will learn.

May I become more learnable and understanding.

Do you ever feel like you're running on #Anxiety and #IcedCoffee ?

This sounds kind of funny... But ever since I started my new job.. my anxiety has been through the roof. It has been a #struggle for me because my level of stress is high because of all the events that happen. Working inside of a car dealership is difficult sometimes. I #Love what I do, but my #Job can sometimes be draining.

What do you do?

Power of love #Depression #Anxiety #Relationships #Caregiving #FamilyAndFriends #Love #MentalHealth

I have been at the Orphanage in Indonesia for 6 days now. I am pretty exhausted. As well as teaching staff I have been conducting one on one financial counselling appointments with the staff, utilising my skills from my financial planning days.

Yet, energy seems to be replenished from interaction with the amazing children and staff. They are so grateful for the support and nurturing they receive. Some of their history is quite distressing but they focus on tomorrow and are grateful for today.

These has been an amazing opportunity and I am so gratified for the opportunity to be part of changing lives.
