Balance is fleeting! We no sooner think we've found it and poof it's gone. Sometimes the stressors in a new situation can cause this poof, and sometimes we just get lax in our daily practices that achieve balance does it. Not overfunctioning or underfunctioning in our daily lives is a tricky little harmonization. The best course of action when it all seems "undone" is to sit quietly and make a list of everything on your plate...the big and little stuff. Break your list down into two lists of daily and long term, and then prioritize. Just having it all on paper and out of your head helps tremendously. Having set goals of everything in a reasonable timeframe frees up your mental traffic jam.

I needed this, thank you! Sometimes just fully realizing the present, the good, the bad, the unknown, is all that it takes to focus on the right task to get harmony back into order. I wouldn't try to fix an appliance without diagnosing it first, so why do I try to fix my life without taking inventory first? Mostly because I dread what I might find, that it might be really bad. But the reality is never as bad as my fears. If i would simply take stock of reality immediately, I'd save myself from quite a bit of worry.
