Energy hunt

I've written before about the lack of balance in my life - it's all work and toddler E at the moment, leaving very little energy for my husband, friends, health and hobbies... I've realized that it's not even the lack of time (even though that is a contributing factor - what did I DO all the time before toddler E??) - more important is the lack of Energy - so. An energy hunt is needed.

First, what do I get energy from?

1. Toddler E
2. The H
3. Work
4. Exercise
5. Fresh air
6. Healthy food
7. "Me" time

Toddler E and Work also crave so much energy for me, that I don't think I can gain surpluses from there and the H is currently himself so drained of energy there is none left for me. So believe that I need to make more time for 4-7 and that should give me more energy to spare on 1-3... Simples.

Good thing is that spring is in the air so I can go running more often - maybe even in the early mornings... that would be a good combo of both 4 and 5. Healthy food - just need to get back in control of that one - and "Me" time, is hard but not impossible - just takes a lot of planning.

There we go. Nothing is impossible! At least not on a planning stage....

Will let you know how things go in reality!
