When I get overwhelmed and busy, the first thing to go is my attention to my physical well-being... which kicks off a downward spiral, with less energy to take care of myself, leading to less care, to less energy... What has been beautiful is finding ways to integrate taking care of my physical, mental, spiritual, and financial self all together... living in a place that I'm able to walk to work, connected with organizations for volunteering that also serve my sense of community and contribution, and friendships that feed my spiritual beingness. When they all are connected, I find it easier to flow in life, and not only stop the downward spiral, but also spiral up :-) This sense of health is at the base of being able to contribute in my life in any other way.
