My life has seemed to be a constant struggle to balance my spiritual side with the more mundane every day things. I would get caught up in one side of things and the other would get out of whack.
A bit of background about me. I'm 25 years old, married to a wonderful man who is still trying to find his place in the world of work, I've been a practicing witch for 10 years with increasing interest in Shamanism, I am a computer geek, working as a test analyst breaking computer programs, I play computer games with the most regular one being World of Warcraft, I eat too much, carry too much extra weight and am regularly sidetracked.
3 months ago I got married and it has been a wonderful 3 months. However, the housework wasn't getting done, or when it was we fought over it, I didn't have a place where I could be spiritually so that got left by the wayside too. So basically my house was a mess, my mind was a mess and my spiritual practice was non-existent.
Then one of my friends introduced me to FlyLady.net and it has opened my eyes. Small routines I'm finding help so much with just getting the house in order, and I'm working through the Body Clutter book right now to try and deal with some physical order. I'm hoping that once these all get in place, I'll build on them slowly and live a more balanced life.
I accept that it'll never be perfect and you know what? That quest for perfection stopped me doing anything! So now I'll take baby steps, build it up, if it doesn't work I'll change it, if I have an off day I won't kill myself and all in all, things will get under control.

I'm first. FlyLady is a life saver. Baby steps at least mean that you are moving forwards, instead of perfectionism which roots you to the ground.
