Activity

Balance. I believe that balance is one of the most important things in life. A balance between nutrition and gluttony, silence and noise, friendship and solitude, production and creativity, activity and rest. Everything can be taken to extremes. When we find the point of balance, we are at our best. I have been letting my internet time get out of balance. I gain a lot of knowledge and inspiration from websites and blogs. But to have that time out of balance means that another part of my life could be suffering. Exercise is an area in which I've not been developing. I'm thin, but could be in better shape. So, an experiement in devotion to exercise is needed, increased activity. One hour of internet time daily, and perhaps 40 minutes of some kind of exercise. I am going to try to arrange more swimming for myself, since it is my favorite form of exercise. I am also thinking about the concept of fasting, perhaps doing that one day a week. We'll see.
