First off: yes, I am alive. I have been taking some time away from blogging so that I can can re-group. I was catching myself being consumed a little too much with "keeping up" with social media that I decided to take a small time out. Sometimes when things get busy, I tend to want to put my head down, and run for things harder. While working hard isn't a bad thing, never having time for myself is. Life should be a continuous cycle of rest, work, and play. They all work beautifully together like a sort of rhythmic tide. 

Rest. Why is it that I think I can get away with leaving the one out? I constantly feel like, "Ugh, I'm not doing anything." But more often than not, I regret not monitoring my rest. It's better for everyone, trust me. 

Work. Work gets a bad rap. Mainly because some people see it as a means to an end. Luckily, I have a job that I enjoy that involve my passions and I work along side people that I enjoy. 

Play. For me, this means exploring new places or trying new foods or being with people that I love. It's like giving life to my mind and I can feel it stirring up creativity within me!

Each are significantly important, and when I leave one out I find my equilibrium being thrown off. You see, it's all about balance. So start your week off right and protect each stage- your rest, your work, and your play.
