The idea of ‘having balance’ seems impossible as a single parent. Typically our physical needs are at the bottom of the list of priorities. The problem with that is that is not sustainable - and just like a car that we never get serviced or the oil changed, inevitably we will find eventually ourselves in crisis. Small maintenence steps can equal longer, healthier outcomes. Physical balance effects everything else ion our lives - we must move towards wellness before we hit physical crisis.

It's more than just working out or eating right, we want to look at this a little more holistically so we have broken physical balance into 3 very simple categories:

 The idea is if we can just start taking even one (or by all means more) simple, proactive steps in each one of these categories we will move towards balance.

Here are some simple ideas to move towards physical balance:

FUEL / WHAT WE PUT IN OUR BODIES

REST

ACTIVITY

                  Find a friend once a week and commit to walk together

                  Walk on lunch breaks instead of sitting

                   Go outside and toss a ball

                   Go to the park

                   Let your anger and frustration out - get a punching bag

                  Crank up the music and move

This not by any means an exhaustive list - In fact, leave comments on other ideas...  but, let's all commit to just finding one thing in each category and move towards physical balance. We can at least do that and build from there.
