I spend way way too much time tapping at this computer and fiddling with audio…

The challenge I face is that to be more active, I would need to drop one or more entire _projects_… I’m not ready to do that, so I’m daily torn balancing my mental and physical health. ☹

To be more active …  
To have a cleaner home …  
To be a better financial steward …  
To be a better friend …  
To be more productive …  
To be more creative …  
To be a better wife …,  
To be more spiritual …  
To be better informed on news of the world …  
To tame my Ego …  
To live a life of service to others …  
Etc, etc, etc,  
I would need to sacrifice this, let that go, etc. etc. etc.  
Otherwise I’m daily torn by conflicting tensions.

I hear you.  
NO wisdom here except to say, I am very grateful for that intangible thing that motivates me to keep trying to accomplish, balance, & accept - that hidden pilot light. That reliable spark.
