But I know I have a tendency to obsess on a project to avoid other things that I do not want to do. <br /><br />As for balance I like the visual it creates for me, it reminds me of surfing or maybe standing on a wobbling platform while moving and something try to push you off. Well yea like I said it reminds me of surfing.Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05166302055865113078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4914171004360811638.post-34991087695169108312010-03-10T15:36:31.791-08:002010-03-10T15:36:31.791-08:00I find this issue of balance really confounding --...I find this issue of balance really confounding -- i usually use the term moderation myself. On the one hand, I believe that moderation is absolutely key to forward motion. I know that when I am balanced and engage in different activities of my life in moderation, I move forward and have consistency and feel good.<br /><br />On the other hand, sometimes when i really obsess on something and spend waaaay too much time on it to the detriment of everything else in my life, I also do my best work. I think creativity coach Eric Maisel offers a lot of good advice on maintaining the balance while allowing yourself to be obsessively passionate in his books.Caitnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4914171004360811638.post-87791670506172331492010-03-10T07:13:05.108-08:002010-03-10T07:13:05.108-08:00Travis-- You are welcome.

If we are constantly flinging ourselves from one extreme to another we waste so much time and energy. If we stay balanced and centered we will find the things we want are within our reach most of the time.Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05166302055865113078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4914171004360811638.post-36363943143109156132010-03-09T18:38:51.444-08:002010-03-09T18:38:51.444-08:00I like the term 'sensible relief'.

Ranting and screaming your head off will not solve the situation, it will only make it worse. Find the source rather than mask your symptoms.
