The fine line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

100 consecutive hours is a long stretch of time
work life balance
same but different

Partying and wild times are stereotypical Saturday night activities, as is sitting in a Church pew on Sunday morning. Depending how long you go at it Saturday night, you may still smell of the good time in Church. Yet they are two distinct arenas.

Where does a traveling business professional distinguish time for work and time for life? A five day trip leaves a person gone from home 100 hours.

Things fell apart today (again)

we did Twistee Treat yesterday, since I am out-of-town this week

Things fell apart today (again). Thank goodness for being decently organized. No run this morning. No gym visit either. Both were scheduled. Instead, re-focused energy were it was more needed.

Balance is a pendulum, not a gauge, nor a bullseye. Learning how to ebb and flow with this is a learnable talent.

Balance Is My Friend, Even With Restaurant Choices

Balance is my friend with exercise too. Some days you get to, some days you don’t.

Please don’t get me wrong, on this week’s trip to Greensboro, North Carolina, I ate at MacDonald’s three times. Not proud of that, but it happened. Eating healthy as a road warrior is a balancing act of time, energy, price, convenience.

PS. I sincerely hope the common sense insights these small examples reveal aren’t invisible to you. Every single day is a constant struggle for me to make more good choices than not good. You get this, right?

I guarantee you struggle with this too. Or is it, “Denial, party of one, right this way please”. Peace. 🙂
