Faith Applied

Is your life balanced? Do you believe balance is possible?

There's been a lot in my inbox and social media feeds about balance.

Sharings about how it is not possible. It is unrealistic and unreasonable to even expect that you can have balance in your life.

They are solid impassioned arguments that balance is BS.

Well, I put these impassioned statements in the same category with: "New Year's resolutions are a waste of time!" or "It's hard and expensive to eat healthily." or "Diets don't work because the weight loss doesn't last!"

The arguments are strong and stated as fact that you can hang your hat on, but really they are position statements coming from individuals that haven't been able to attain or sustain these elements.

So they say they are not real or possible.

Well, in various episodes of the Faith Applied podcast, we'll explore all those statements - but in this episode, we talk about balance from a position that doesn't embrace the limiting belief that it is not real.

Balance is a real thing. It's not easy, but it's possible.

So let's talk about balance, what it is, and how to have it.

Many fitness experts say the pushup is like the perfect resistance exercise. Jonathan Ross, with the American Council on Exercise, says one of the reasons the pushup has endured for so long is because it's cheap, it's easy, it doesn't require any equipment, and it works multiple parts of the body all at the same time. Another great thing about a pushup is that it's very variable and almost anyone can do it.

TempleCare12 helps you create or reinforce healthy and whole habits during crazy-busy or otherwise challenging times, and this 9th day pushes full body strength with the addition of push ups to your daily routine.

Most Americans suffer from a severe case of portion distortion. We are no longer in tune with our body's hunger and satisfaction signals. Instead, our eating is governed by the clock, by the situation, by the availability of food, or the swings of our mood - and we stop when we are stuffed, or the food is gone.

TempleCare12 helps you create or reinforce healthy and whole habits during crazy-busy or otherwise challenging times, and this 8th day encourages you to tune in to your God-given portion control mechanism and stop eating when satisfied.

By the seventh day, God had finished the work he had been doing so on the seventh day, he rested from all his work and God blessed the seventh day and made it holy because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.

Genesis 2:2-3 NIV

Our bodies, our minds, our souls need rest.

On this seventh day of the TempleCare 12 program, we will cease from work in the program to reinforce this mind, body, Spirit, discipline of rest.

Rest.

What that entails is up to you.
