In search of my own dynamic equilibrium

I am a person with a lot of interests. I enjoy science, politics, food, and learning. I want to complete an Olympic distance triathlon, start a vegetable garden, travel to various countries, improve my photographic skills, and scuba dive. Some of my interests can be related to careers that I have pursued or want to pursue. Others are hobbies that I have tried or need to make time (and money) for. Like many people, I’m just trying to figure out my goal(s) and how I am going to get there.

One of the things I have had a lot of difficulty with is managing all of these interests. Some of have fallen to the wayside to be picked up at a later date, while the rest have been haphazardly juggled the last few months of 2012. While I accomplished a number of things, I also did not feel balanced among all aspects in life. I realize in the past I set out these weekly plans that, if I can only train myself to get used to them, I would be able to have a “balanced” life. However, I realize that those plans were often static and would not be able to accommodate the disruptions that typically occur. So I guess this year, I’m hoping that I can find some sort of equilibrium but also remain somewhat flexible to whatever comes up in life.
