moderation. this is the key to my sanity. i do most everything in moderation. not too little but not too much. time is an issue when raising two kids in a constantly-on-the-go lifestyle & having high aspirations in all categories. it's this lukewarm commitment that allows me to get everything on my to-do list checked off & still have time to play thundercats. now let me clarify, i am not at all moderate instead i am extremely commited to my family, my friends, & my God. my moderate attitude applies mostly to my personal interests & goals. some people prefer to excel in a few categories, i prefer to take on a lot of interests & perform them well. i'm okay with a less than perfect result.
i work out moderately & i eat healthy moderately. i am not opposed to taking a week off from excersize & my sweets drawer is continuously needing to be replenished. i scrapbook, blog, & journal keep in moderation. i make time to shower & get ready every day but i never spend more than 45 minutes in my beauty routine. i probably shop more than i should but i watch prices & never spend more than i should. i love to read but i balance it timewise by watching only a little tv. my house is never dirty but never overly clean. i clean a little piece most everyday so as to never get overwhelmed (moderation at it's finest). i love crafting but i have a rule, my crafts cannot be too time consuming. i pretty much always find a way to do a craft in about two-thirds the recommended time. the end product may not be as fine as intended but it's a balance & i'm always satisfied by the result. i cook most days but i'm not afraid to throw on a bertolli's or reserve a table at p.f. changs in exchange for a little more backyard soccer with my boys. i like my boys to eat healthy but we are known to have oreo shakes just about everynight. i am also germ conscious but i have no problem letting my boys play in the dirt (it's mostly public restrooms that i have an issue with). our laundry is done every week & i try to save every piece but if something involves too much scrubbing it gets tossed in the trash. i love party planning & having company over. i put an emphasis on details & love coordinating everything. in my opinion our social events are always a success. but i am not the type to spend hours upon hours concocting the perfect menu & design. i feel that my family is well dressed but not at all over the top. we are moderate.
yes, my friends, moderation is the reason i have reason. my a.d.d. makes it difficult for me to stay focused on any one task for too long. i do a little of this before moving on to a little of that. and in the end i am happy. i feel productive & rarely overwhelmed. i get a lot done & i always have plenty of time for the things that truly matter in my life. so when you are feeling a little swamped ask yourself if what your doing is a little over the top & if so then put it down & go fly a kite. that's my theory.
