Contemplating Yin and Yang

Welcome to DAY TWO of my new blog. 

Today I'm contemplating the concept of Yin and Yang.  Yin and Yang is all about balance.  The Yin and Yang symbol is widely recognized in both the East and Western cultures.  I've been trying to incorporate this concept in my life for some time now.  Although, I can't say that I'm entirely good at it or even on the right track.  I mean who can actually say that all things in their lives are well balanced, not me.  I'm so unbalanced it's not even funny.  My life is one extreme to the next.    According to the article, The Concept of Yin and Yang Theory by Rachel Mork, "According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, balance is essential for healthful living".  This means you must have a balanced lifestyle, a balanced diet, the energy in your body must be balanced and your environment must have balance.  In other words, Yin and Yang affects every part of our lives. 

The trouble is finding balance throughout every aspect in our lives.  It can be difficult juggling a  full-time job, a family along with one demanding, but cute pooch, being a full-time student and trying to eat healthy and exercise all at the same time.  I'm sure some people are just naturals and have everything all figured out, but for those individuals like me it can be exhausting just thinking about it.  I can be doing great at work and at school, working hard at studying and at my job, but then be too tired to exercise when I get home.  So, instead of exercising, we eat dinner late since I have to cook when I get home from work, then pass out in front of the tv after dinner on the couch. 
Okay, I know some of you know what I'm talking about.  This is life as I know it just about every day except for the occasional "I'm feeling guilty" workout that I throw in now and then on my Wii.  The bottom line to the Yin and Yang concept is that it is a matter of finding the balance between everything going on in our lives.  I'm hoping I will get there eventually, but if any of you get to that Yin and Yang point in your life first, let me know.  Much thanks in advance.
