We are always striving for balance. Just like the clouds. For one minute we are at peace, the next minute things seem out of hand, and the feelings of pressure to achieve more or change something take over.
The term self-care is all over social media. It has photographs of wonderful experiences, trips to far away places, and, of course, every product and gadget you can imagine.

Most of us spend time every day working on something. Chores or a job seem to dominate our actions. Sometimes, we find ourselves saying things like, oh, I’d like to go and have fun, but I have laundry to do or some other item on a to-do list. These feelings and pressures can often leave us feeling off-balance.

Most are expecting a super expensive treatment option or several hundred dollars in creams and lotions. But that does not always encourage the energy balance we are seeking.
