I believe that we must find a balance in our mental, emotional, physical, psychological and spiritual part of our selves. To take inventory in these areas and be in a healthy, emotional place in our daily lives. Sometimes we find an unhealthy distraction in life to avoid coping with the daily struggles, whether it be drinking, sex, shopping, toxic relationships or impulsivity, we are not allowing ourselves to grow and deal with what is in front of us.
