imbalance

If only I had multiple arms to balance multiple tasks. I just might make it to the end of this tight rope with balance! But what does this study say? The ability-to-balance-self-on-one-leg-with-eyes-closed test can predict if middle-aged people are at risk of death before the age of 66??? You mean I might not make it to the end at all? 

Balance must be important! Discover with me how balance is possible with the help of the One Who is Able, and Strong and is a model of perfect balance.

The more things to juggle, the more challenging it is to balance life.  This episode presents the importance of balance, first through the eyes of a child-gymnast multi-sport athlete Irish Planes-Funtalan who was gracious enough to answer my questions.

Some interesting studies show why balance can mean strength, determine sobriety and predict early death risks like this one: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/the-simple-tests-that-tell-if-you-ll-live-to-a-ripe-old-age-9303994.html

In this episode, I read from my new book, Imbalances: The Addict's Guide to Fixing Our Broken Lives, Chapter 6--The Imbalance of Negative Thoughts. It's human nature to have negative thoughts, but did you know it's sinful nature to be someone who continually thinks, voices, or acts on negative thoughts? Sometimes, Christians are the worst at this. But both Jesus and the Apostle Paul tell us that true Christians don't behave in this way. Today, I share an awful story about my past, and how my best friend's negative thoughts hurt me very deeply. I also discuss Kat Von D's baptism in her Christian faith, and the negativity she received from so-called "fellow Christians."

If you want to see the awesome interview Kat did on Allie Beth Stuckey's YouTube channel, where she gives her full testimony, you can view that here:  Kat Von D's story

In this episode, I read from my new book, Imbalances: The Addict's Guide to Fixing Our Broken Lives, Chapter 5--The Imbalance of Relationships. This is also a bit of a tribute episode to actor Matthew Perry from the show "Friends," who battled the spiritual attack of addiction for many, many years. I also share three (actually four) heartbreaking stories of relationships gone bad, and show you the easiest way to love in the way God wants us to. AND, in the way that brings balance to our lives, which in turn prevents spiritual attack.

I mention at one point the video by Pastor Vlad Savchuck about the ten signs you're battling a demon or unclean spirit, of which I had 6 or 7 of them when I was in the depths of my gambling addiction. Click here to watch that YouTube video: https://youtu.be/92Q_Zo3C1DA

Cindy Esliger discusses the idea of work life balance in this episode. There is no one definition that everyone agrees on, but we all agree we want to achieve some notion of enough time for both work and personal lives without one overwhelming the other. How do we actually accomplish that, though? 

The buzz word trend of “work life balance” today means it encompasses a wide array of thoughts. What is “personal” life to you? Family? Friends? Charitable pursuits? Home life? Hobbies? Caregiving? Exercising? And should we feel guilty if we enjoy work and are very dedicated to it? Cindy breaks down all the things work and personal lives mean to us and how to view them without guilt. 

Overwhelm is the enemy of balance regardless of how we define it, however. So Cindy shares five self-sabotaging mistakes we make when we’re overwhelmed: 1) Dismissing things that might help, 2) Not making space for minds to wander, 3) Interpreting the feeling of overwhelm as weakness, 4) Not being flexible or adapting to changing demands, and 5) Missing opportunities to restore energy. Cindy walks us through each one and sheds light on ways to find fulfillment in whatever balance we find most rewarding.

• Guide to Overcoming Overwhelm
