This week the negative impacts of social media has been in sharp focus for young people, and if for the young, for all of us.
As a result I want this week to use this social media shared blog for just one thing. To ask what gives you the perfect balance?
My personal response is not doom scrolling or endlessly flicking through the lives of others curated for public viewing. It is about living my life, our life afloat, in the moment.
It is about sharing precious time with family who are everything to us and with friends too who are so important. It is about having enough work to give us an income that gives choices as well as the basics. It is about making things to bring pleasure to others.
It is about sunrises and sunsets, about bird song and reflections in water, the joy of seeing our modest roof garden grow and give pleasure to others too and the sheer delight of having a non-judgmental, ever-loving Boatdog to share life with, wherever and whatever I’m doing.
What then are the elements that give you a perfect life balance? Are you getting enough of them? If not, ensure you do this coming week for starters.
