LaCresha's Lens Focuses On...page 25...Being Busy

It is amazing to me how January is almost gone.  I found in December that January was quickly filling up with activities, birthday parties and dinners.  Now, here it is and the first month of 2015 is almost over.
How do we find that balance between being too busy and being too relaxed?  When we find ourselves with children, a mortgage and all of life's responsibilities, 9:00 pm no longer seems early.  We tell ourselves we are getting old, which is not true.  We are not old until we are unable to care for ourselves and stuck on an oxygen tank.  The simple truth is we have taken on more responsibilities with only the same 24 hours in a day. 
I don't quite understand the women who wear themselves down and don't allow their husbands to help.  I see these husbands wanting to help, but because they don't do it "just right" or "how they would do it" they snap at them and say, "I will just do it myself".  There is a reason the saying came into play, "there are more than one way to skin a cat" now granted, I am not fond of the way this saying is stated.  But, what it is trying to indicate is-there are more than one way to do things, and just because it is not your way, does not mean it is not wrong.  Maybe it won't be perfect, but we need to find a way to accept the "not perfect" in our lives and allow others to come in and help us.
We all need to take a step back sometimes and delegate.  This is not easy for some, and those who do have more control issues in their lives this is a big struggle.  With practice, and consistency and patience it is possible, and then the load can be carried by more than one.  We find a peace in our lives once that storm comes to pass.

What in your life has you so busy?  Do you find yourself run down and tired from it?
Take a step back, re-evaluate what is being presented to you.  More than anything, be willing to take the steps to make the change to be less busy in your life.
