Balance

I'd like to say that I have figured this whole life thing out. I try not to complain much, i stick to my own business, i try not to let outside stimuli affect my daily mood. There are so many things in life that have no explanation though. Like why does my body hate carbs because I truly love them!

Outside of that, i have never been able to find a true balance in life. When business is good, personal relationships are not.....when relationships are good, business tends to suffer. The key is balance but how when business takes 65 - 75 and relationships take 55 - 75 percent, how do you balance that. I dont know about you all but my day lasts 24h and those numbers tend not to add up.

Owning two businesses, personal training and Max Muscle, takes time to build and grow. Most of you who have done your own thing know and those of you that havent Im sure care very much about what you do and make sure you get done what needs done. So, this takes time. Friends, girlfriends, etc take time as well. Building a friendship is the basis for everything. How do you build that in the time you have. I dont talk much in my sleep so that is out.......oh, and I almost forgot you have to spend time on yourself as well.

The last part is the hardest part.........I have never been able to balance out me time with anything. It is the hardest thing I have ever done. Most the time I blame my need to be perfect, to fix everything or everyone else.

This use to drive me nuts but i have come to grips with it. I have those mechanisms in place that keep me good. One is my nutrition. That is my balance. I know, you all think i am crazy but its true. Think about it this way. When life isnt going as you had planned for an hour, a day, a week, a year.........you have things you can control. I control what goes in my mouth. I dont look at food as anything but nourishment except for my mom's lasagna, that is more heaven than food, lol. But i fuel my body for my day. Being awake for 19, 20 hours is no fun if you have no energy.

Also, my workouts are important to me. They are my stress relief, the way i set my day up to be full of life and energy. That in turn makes me want to eat better to keep my high from the workout. This is imperative because you can have workout crash. Find the balance in your eating then in your life. I have the nutrition down and im working on the rest. Constantly learning to balance life.......
