Finding Balance

Rintrovert-vs-extrovert

Oh my, lifehasbeensobusyandgoingsofastIalmostcan’thandleit!

For the past couple of weeks we've been so busy I haven't felt very balanced. For me, I think that roughly translates to needing about a one-to-one ratio of social activity away from the house to time spent at the house, doing my own thing or just relaxing with Chris.

It’s been an interesting discovery over the years because for so long I thought I was a hard core introvert. But then I realized that I actually love being social but I just have to balance that with time to myself – writing, exercising, reading, organizing, cooking, etc. All of these things help me to feel centered again and refuel my energy. Having the house clean, laundry done, and food bought/prepped so that I can eat a healthy vegetarian diet is also key to keeping me balanced. For the past two weeks we haven’t had time to get all of that done! Which is fine every now and then – especially when we’re busy doing lots of fun stuff and seeing awesome people like we have been! - but I can definitely feel the effect of being off balance.

I'm so looking forward to this weekend when we have NO plans, yesss. Introverts unite! Except maybe from our separate homes...
