Finding Simple Balance, Happy and Healthy in 2013

written by Rebecca E. Parsons

I was recently asked what happy and healthy means to me. Happy and Healthy to me means taking care of myself first. I don’t believe that is selfish, although it may sound so. I learned, as a mother of four, that you can’t take care of others if you don’t take care of yourself first.

My broad goal (and word phrase) for 2013 is to find ‘simple BALANCE!’ I want to streamline my life and balance my work and life. That means clearing out the mental, physical and ‘actual’ clutter and letting go of what no longer serves me and my pursuit of BALANCE.

Happiness is always a choice for me. I love to laugh and make others laugh too. I look for joy in everything.

Healthy means fit to me. Doing everything I can to stay fit emotionally, spiritually and physically. Walking, meditating, drinking plenty of water, and eating as much raw food as possible. Dancing whenever helps too!!!

    It really is hard to take care of others if you haven’t taken care of yourself, agreed!
