No judgement, just assess where you&#8217;re at.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know about you, but I get cranky when I&#8217;m hungry.\u00a0 I get downright mean and almost evil when I&#8217;m hungry.\u00a0 I realize this isn&#8217;t just physical hunger, but mental, emotional, and spiritual too.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0When I want more, I can ignore it, but eventually if I don&#8217;t feed myself, all the parts, I feel like I&#8217;m starving.\u00a0 I could say I&#8217;m craving balance.\u00a0 But I&#8217;m not sure there is such a thing in life.\u00a0 In theory there is, but we aren&#8217;t pie\u00a0charts.\u00a0 If I was a pie chart, what areas would I be?\u00a0 Home, work, family, marriage, me, passions, hobbies, life purpose, etc.?\u00a0 I kind of live it all at the same time.\u00a0 That&#8217;s when people say to me, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know how you do it all?&#8221;\u00a0 When I hear that I think&#8230;what is ALL?\u00a0 I don&#8217;t feel like I do it all.\u00a0 I&#8217;m having one of those days where laundry is piled up that is waiting to be folded and I am not in a great mood.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t post about stuff to complain, so you make think it&#8217;s lame, but it&#8217;s real.\u00a0 I have learned a lot from women that are entrepreneurs, successful in business or sales, writers, and especially those who worked at home in the beginning, all had a rough time.\u00a0 They trusted it would all be worth it.\u00a0 They now have a cleaning person, assistant, staff and people so they have more time and freedom&#8230;with more money then they have ever had.\u00a0 I&#8217;m trying to make it a different path for me.\u00a0 Not twenty years of struggle\u00a0in order to get\u00a0twenty years of good type of thing.<\/p>\n<p>Today, I ask the Universe to guide me.<\/p>\n<p>What do I want more of?\u00a0 Abundance, money, prosperity of course, so I can have the life of my dreams.\u00a0 But I have the life of my dreams in some ways and I&#8217;m taking it for granted because I&#8217;m focused on what I don&#8217;t have.\u00a0 I am seeing what isn&#8217;t working, instead of new possibilities.\u00a0 This is where I know to check in and take EVERYTHING off my plate (in my mind) so I can get clear.\u00a0 I&#8217;m not down in the dumps, feeling bad or like my life isn&#8217;t going awesome.
