My head is spinning.

I quit my writing job so I would have more time to focus on starting a health and wellness business, helping people get on better diets to lose weight, reduce stress, have more energy – or whatever they pay me to help them achieve. It seemed so simple ; no more day job meant hours and hours of time to dedicate to my new business venture.

But I have found with my new wide-open schedule, I am being pulled in 10 different directions. Of course, it’s all my own fault. Everyone who knows me knows that I thrive on having a totally full schedule and being involved in a lot of activities. But I can’t help thinking that this time perhaps I’m overdoing it.

Not only am I focusing hours and hours every day on marketing for Liiv Naturally, but I am also working on completing my Yoga Teacher Training certificate, helping plan a HUGE yoga event in Miami that is happening in February, taking Jewish studies classes to begin my conversion, writing for health and wellness magazines and trying to keep up with my own fitness regimen – which means I get totally frazzled. A lot.

I have tried to put together some sort of a plan, like ballet in the morning, write for an hour or two, work on marketing and meeting with potential clients – and then read passages from the Torah and Hebrew textbook so I’m prepared for my Thursday night sessions at Temple Sinai. And that’s all before I cook a healthy dinner and then watch an episode or two of Mad Men (We’re catching up on Seasons 1-4 on DVD and are completely obsessed).

But it’s hard to stay on track. A quick breakfast at Boheme Bistro easily turns into 3 hours after I start chatting with people or reading the NY Post and Daily News – daily rituals which I refuse to give up, 2 1/2 years after moving to Florida.

I bought a new orange leather Filofax (it’s gorgeous) and take it everywhere so I wouldn’t double-book myself. I still do.

So I’ve decided to take my own advice, what I tell the clients I’m working with: Slow down and relax. There are only so many hours in a day, and I need to maintain balance. Part of going confidently is knowing that everything will happen…in good time.
