For a dancer, you would think I have good balance. Wrong. I have to work at it. I often find myself way off centre; only to be remedied by re-focusing on my core. My core values, that is. Life balance. Sure enough, I have recently let myself get lost in work with no energy left over to maintain a life outside of work. Difference from my younger days is that now I know to keep close attention and take corrective action often. A few planks. Some crunches. Little adjustments to strengthen my core, regain my balance, and give me the energy to enjoy my life.
