Finding balance is not always easy. We live in a society of push and pull, give and take. But often, we give away much more than we receive in return. When our resources are completely depleted, we’re left feeling exhausted by the end of the day.

Many people would respond by saying something like:

• “I’m a parent. I have children and a spouse that rely on me financially and emotionally.”
• “I don’t have time for myself just yet. I will once the kids get older.”
• “My work is crazy, but I’ll relax once my busy season quiets down.”

Have you said any of the above statements at a given time in your life? Most of us have.

Sure, some seasons of life are busier than others. Parents juggle their own jobs and home responsibilities in addition to those of their kids—sports schedules, homework, social dramas, etc. Those without school-aged children juggle other sorts of challenges.

Regardless of the emotional or physical hurdles you are facing, one thing is for sure—you need to make time for yourself—now, even if—especially if—you feel as if you don’t have the time to spare.

Health relies on balance.

Balance relies on peace.

Peace comes from within.
