I need you to bring balance into my life, let me know how you get on. With a mother to care for, a relationship to nurture, a rabbit to love, a course to complete, a job to do, and volunteering commitments I am really struggling to find time for me. Think I might join you in aiming for a more balanced life this year – good luck!

Such a great post, it really is important to define what that balance is for you. I think it sounds like you have it down to a tee, like you I am all for the planning and quite simply cannot cope without a to do list and dare I say a wish list which I cross off x

Super list…and they definitely sound perfect for your year ahead. I make sure that in my diary every week I have two gym sessions as well as coffee with a friend/lunch with Dave. This is something that I try not to move and always make time for. The rest of the time I work hard at home and schedule all my tasks into my calendar. Dave and I also have started going out more and spending time away from phones and TV together – and it’s been fab. I feel MUCH better at the moment about my life and wellbeing. Good luck with yours xx

A friend of mine once said that ‘balance is a unicorn’ (ie: it doesn’t exist!) and I agree with her a little bit whilst also realising that balance looks different for each of us. I love that you’ve broken it down into three key areas of your life and that you have tangible and realistic mini-goals within each section. I hope you’re daughter manages ok now that she’s off her medication – it’s brilliant news that she’s been able to get herself to that point. I hope that this year is everything you want it to be x

In reply to BLEKE. I think I *might* be expecting too much of myself but they are only loose ideas and I won't beat myself up if they don't completely go according to plan. I've already been late a few times this week but I'm being mindful of it! Yes to more sleep, definitely something I need to rectify. xx

In reply to Sarah MumofThree World. I think it's good to just reflect on what does you good and make sure that you make it a priority as often as is reasonable. I know that meeting up with people does me good. I know how much you love running. I'm still going to the gym twice a week so yoga 3 times is as much as I think I can do. xx

In reply to michelle twin mum. Thanks Mich. I will undoubtedly fail at some of it (and already have lol!) but we can only do our best can't we? x

In reply to Emma. Yes I think it's so important to look ahead and make plans to work it through as best as possible, especially when things are so hectic. xx

In reply to Plutonium Sox. Sounds like a very good move Nat. It's so necessary sometimes isn't it? x

Balance is such a good word and one that is really anchoring for me. I love how you’ve highlighted the ways you’ll live it out in the different areas of your life . I think its so important to start the year with intention, whether that’s with a set plan and with goals or even if it’s being more mindful in the choices and decisions we make.
Great post! xx
