This week was Week 6 of our move. The simpler things have started to take grip and my stress level is at 50% from two months ago. My to-do list is getting more difficult to create because I don’t have much to put on it. Meaningless duties have disappeared. I’ve had time to wake up in the morning and think. I can refresh my mind rather than jump into work and task lists. This week I took time to combine several of the “simplify” blogs we have been reading into an organized spreadsheet. Each idea is categorized into one of my six Life Balance Wheel areas: Physical Environment, Financial, Fun, Health, Social and Spiritual.
We’ve made a lot of improvements in our physical environment by de-cluttering when we moved (still more to come) and our health over the past year by changing our diet. The two areas that still remain unbalanced are financial and spiritual. I am going to put financial aside for the next few months because it will get worked out during the next year. If not completely, we will be in a much better situation because we moved away from our $2,000 mortgage to a $600 rental. The main area that I need to rebalance is Spiritual. I need to realign my mind and attitude to be the best person I can be for me, my wife and my kids. I know that I currently do better than most men. But better is never good enough for me. I always want to improve. If not, might as well be dying, right?
