When I was writing yesterday’s post I chuckled to myself at the fact that there are times I truly enjoy be down or depressed. I’m grumpy and annoyed at everything and yet this is the attitude I choose to have. If something starts to cheer me up I get more annoyed at it. Now we all have emotional cycles of ups and downs, but what is it that makes me feel that I’d enjoy be down more than up?

The whole goal of Balance in All Things is so I can better identify when I start to get out of balance. If I detect it early, I can make a minor correction to my life and carry on with little impact. Unfortunately, it usually takes a major issue to crop up before I realize how out of balance I am and by then there are repercussions that typically need to be dealt with. The trick, of course, is knowing when I am veering off course. It would be great if there were a device I could buy, say a life compass that would start blinking as my balance wanes. Read more »

I love watching Jackie Chan movies. Obviously the plot and acting are not the main draws of the movie for me. No, it is the way he moves and the things he does. Often the stunts that amaze me the most are the throw away ones he does rather the big, seen from multiple angles, stunt he finishes his movies with. For example, in one movie he is walking towards a gate and rather than open it, he leaps to one side then the other and then over it. A quick little stunt that shows how in control of his body he is.

For me, keeping a basic routine helps keep me balanced. I know generally what to expect when and I can make appropriate adjustments when necessary to my schedule. But for long term projects, say losing weight or writing a book, I find that my motivation disappears after a while. I need to identify these times when my motivation is waning and take immediate steps to prevent it from interfering with my goals.
