Balance – Heart Check In
Balance
It is very important to live a balanced life. Too often people either get over involved in one area of their life, thus neglecting other vital aspects of living, or they under utilize the various aspects of their life thus depriving themselves of a complete and full life. The following is a series of questions we ask our clients to ponder and then answer for themselves in private, or, in group and individual sessions. Taking time to assess how we are doing in our journey is as important, and sometimes more important than getting there. These questions provide a brief check-in into vital areas of our lives. Grab some paper and something to write with and answer the questions for yourself. See how you are doing and where you are experiencing success and see in what areas you can do even better.
