Balance? What do you mean by balance? I get the kids up, fed and to school with a lunch. Then I go shopping for food, pick up the mess left from last night, start a load of laundry and drive back to pick up the kids from school. Is that balance? It’s all done, until tomorrow.

Sound familiar?

With all of the hats that a mom has to wear it is hard to know what true balance looks like. I suggest that today you take the definition of balance and tweak it a bit. Today balance means: Making time for me in terms of mind, body and spirit.

Today, do something, no matter how small, that feeds your mind, body and spirit. It is amazing how adding a little balance to your life can make such a profound difference in your quality of life. Start by taking a few minutes to meditate, breathe deeply or read. Eat a healthy meal or take a short walk.

Adding these simple things can start you on your way to feeling a sense of balance in your otherwise crazy day.
