Jesus said, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and muscle and intelligence, and that you love your neighbor as well as you do yourself.                                                                Luke 10:27 (MSG)

Hello Friend,
All three dimensions of your life should be in balance:  your spiritual life, your relationships with others, and your self-care.  Too much time and attention in one particular area indicates a problem that needs to be addresses.
                 JOY formula (Jesus, Others, Yourself) in perfect balance.

Jesus
How much of your time do you spend nurturing your relationship with Jesus?  Do you need to spend more time in study and prayer or less?  Also included in this dimension would be time spent in worship and service projects connected with church activities.  Yes, you can be out-of-balance in your spiritual life!!!

Picture
Others
Are your relationships fulfilling?  Do you give as much as you receive?  Do you have some relationships that are hurtful?  Where do you need to set personal boundaries?

Picture
Yourself
Self-care:  Do you need to spend more or less time attending to your own needs?  It is possible to take care of yourself while being a caretaker.  You are worthy of being tended to lovingly.  Do something for yourself that makes you happy even if others think it is silly! 

Enjoy and Learn from this activity,
                                                                                       Linda
