"Balance" (a series)
Model: Kelsey Edwards
I'm behind on weekly images but I'll get there. :)
It's so easy to get stuck in a whirlpool of guilt. Especially creative guilt. A tug-of-war tends to exist between doing things you have to do and doing things you want to do--like being creative. And in that kind of battle, only guilt wins.

Here's what helped me find balance and more time to do the things I love.
Step One: Stop the Madness
Seriously. Sit down for five minutes and think about literally nothing. It can be really hard, and maybe feel like a waste of time, but since running around like a crazy person isn't productive either, what do you have to lose?

Step Two: What was trying to steal the nothingness?
Housework? Social media? Child care? Work? Group them into two groups, obligations and personal.

Step three: Go all the way
When fulfilling obligations, go all the way. Be in the moment. Focus entirely on what you're doing and don't worry about anything else. And when you play, play hard.

Grouping your time this way leaves no room for guilt and can help you feel more balanced.
