BALANCED LIVING

It is so easy to live life based only on my feelings; however, when I do I always regret it.  I become jerked around from the depths of despair to the heights of ecstasy and everywhere in between.  My feelings inform me of when my needs are or aren’t being met, they let me know when I need to take action, they give me a means to communicate and connect, but they aren’t always a reliable, consistent base to stand upon.  They can change on a dime and make my head spin.  They can sometimes be based on distortions and assumptions or be reactions to inaccurate perceptions.   So, while I value my feelings and allow them to inform me, I also recognize them as an unreliable guide to my happiness. 

Today I will pay attention to my feelings, acknowledge their value and listen to the wisdom they offer.  I will also attend to my thoughts, needs, values, beliefs, body, spirit, higher power and my friends.   I want the choices I make today to come from this place of integration and balance.
