Are you struggling with something in your life? Do you feel like you are being pulled in a thousand different directions? At the beginning of your day, are you happy about the tasks ahead of you for the day? At the end of the day, did you spend the majority of your day doing something you love?
For a long time, I had negative answers to all of the above. Personally, the most important thing in my life is my family. Until recently, I was on a fast track career path that did not allow me to have my family as the majority of my day. After even more reflection, I discovered that the bigger problem was that I had absolutely NO balance in my life. My world is my husband and my children, and they did not get enough of me with the fast track career path I was on.
After lot of prayer, reflection, and support from my incredible husband, I completely changed my path in life and I haven’t looked back! I am now enjoying a more balanced life and a happy home. Most importantly, I have the majority of my time saved for the people who I love most…my family!
With the new balance I have in my life, I have realized what has helped me become the best version of myself. The balance has helped me build not just a home for my family, but build a HAPPY home for my family. My 5 key steps to building a happy home…
- Family…creating incredible memories and bonds with my family through traveling, special activities, party planning, organizing, and dating my husband over and over again!
- Faith …practicing my faith, serving others, spreading God’s word and love to my own children, knowing that God has a plan for all of us and trusting in that plan!
- Home…taking care of my home in all aspects such as cooking, cleaning, and decorating!
- Self…taking time for myself by doing the things I love and am passionate about…living healthier, teaching, crafting, storytelling, and blogging!
- Adventure…our country and world are packed full of the most incredible sights just waiting for us to explore!
If you are struggling with the path your life is taking you, I encourage you to stop and reflect. What is most important to you? What would the perfect balance look like for you? I encourage you to think, reflect, make a plan, and acquire the balance you deserve!
