	“Sometimes the question is more important than the answer.”- Plato   “Generally by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes have dropped out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby.  But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real, you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.” – Margery Williams The Velveteen Rabbit     “There’s a big difference between “making a living” and “making a life”  - Joe Dominquez	Is your life in balance? Before answering the following questions, recognize that balance in a unique place for each of us.  What might feel balanced for one person is not necessarily what feels balanced for you.  Take a look at this life wheel and become familiar with each of the areas.   Read through the following questions and note the ones that you are doing regularly. I have a regular exercise routine that I feel great about. I take some time every day for quiet contemplation. I eat foods that nourish my body and my soul. I eat five vegetables and fruits a day. I have meaningful work in my life. (This can be taking  great care of your family) I wake up feeling energized and enthusiastic about my  day. I get seven to eight hours of sleep per night I have a creative interest that I pursue. I am aware when my stress level gets above a three (on  a scale of 1-10) and I do something to take care of myself. I know what my options are to decrease my stress. I take time to connect with myself on a regular basis. I find it easy to name five positive qualities about myself. I have fulfilling relationships with family and friends. I feel confident in getting my needs met. I communicate my feelings and needs without blame  and judgment. I look for new opportunities to grow and learn. I am willing to say no. I take time to play. I see a healthcare practitioner regularly and my health is  a priority in my life. I am honest with myself and others. I give easily and without any expectations of getting  something in return. I can give and receive appreciation with grace. All these statements reflect ways in which we can take great care of ourselves. How did you do? Did this awaken in you a desire to have more of these qualities or behaviors? Feeling inspired to set some new intentions and take action to live a healthy balanced life? Need support? This might be a good time to hire a coach.
