I am not sure of the trick of a balanced life, but I think part of it is to have a balanced plan for your day, and then TRY to keep moving thru it. If you figure it out, let me know.

Think of all the balance you would have then. Until then you just do what you can and fall a little short like the rest of us. Make sure not to compare yourself to anyone else. Just because someone has a clean house doesn't mean they are happy or spend enough time with their kids. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Hang in there friend. You'll find your balance.Jaclynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03678417737700913004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3998336519247179813.post-46133432986496091942009-05-08T13:51:00.000-07:002009-05-08T13:51:00.000-07:00Maybe to find balance you have to let go of a few ...Maybe to find balance you have to let go of a few of the items you've been juggling. Everything is not of equal value, so prioritizing is necessary. Remember that to everything there is a season, and don't try to cram everything into the same season.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959172107206830466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3998336519247179813.post-53721116375731613732009-05-08T11:28:00.000-07:002009-05-08T11:28:00.000-07:00You are a wife and mother, so therefore your life ...You are a wife and mother, so therefore your life doesn't revolve around you and there is no time to have a schedule that revolves around you, either.

I make sure to read at least a chapter in my scriptures a night. If I am so tired that I can hardly keep my eyes open, then I will at least read a verse. That seems to be the only thing I can consistently do everyday. Sometimes I feel like a complete failure, and sometimes I feel like I did alot that day. I just remind myself that noone is perfect. And as I long as I try my best that day, that is what I should be happy with! I know you are a great mom, and a great wife. You should give yourself more credit!Scarletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01137268743085478970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3998336519247179813.post-42218427973967563152009-05-07T18:06:00.000-07:002009-05-07T18:06:00.000-07:00I wish I could help Shanna, but the truth is, I do...I wish I could help Shanna, but the truth is, I don't have much balance either. I'm looking for the same answers. About the scripture study thing. My YW are trying to read the book of mormon before camp starts. We have a goal everymonth where we should be. I am behind I must admit, but it has got me reading more than I used to. So try to set a goal date to finish something by...like the book of mormon. Make yourself a calendar to show yourself where you should be at that certain week. That's really all the input I have right now for you. I will be completely out of balance once this little one arrives!Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14902714985289971033noreply@blogger.com
