How do we find balance between work and life? The bad news is that we can't. The good news, however, is that we can find harmony; that is, we can see how the different areas of our life--work, relationships, health, interests, and spirituality--are integrated and connected.
This week's meditation might help discover these connections.
- "Be still and know that I am God." (Psalm 46:13) Recall that you are in the presence of God.
- Think of the different "domains" of your life: work, relationships, health, interests, and spirituality. How did you experience each of these domains today?
- What feelings do you associate with these domains? For example, while at work, did you feel satisfaction and pride in a job well done? Were your relationships stressful? Were they affirming? How would you describe your state of health or the status of your relationships?
- As you spend time in each of these domains, do you notice any sense of agreement among them? Any sense of discord? What do these feelings tell you about who you are, how you are, and what is important to you?
- Look forward to tomorrow. What would tomorrow be like if there was harmony among these domains of your life? What changes would you need to make? Ask God for the grace to make these changes.
- Thank God for any insights received. Amen.
