Are you burning the candle at both ends？ Do you feel you have no time for yourself？ Do you forget to call family on birthdays or holidays？ Have you stopped going out with friends because youre too busy？ Do you have trouble relaxing and having fun？

If you recognize yourself， you should remember to slow down and take more time for everything. Living a balanced life is about integrating the many vital areas of your life， including your health， friends， family， work， and romance.

Here are some tips for restoring a healthy perspective. First， remember to make time for the important people in your life. Stop over-scheduling and spend quality time with friends and family. Second， learn to eat， talk， walk， and drive more slowly. And dont forget to turn your cell phone off sometimes. People who really want to talk to you will call back. Third， learn to live in the present and stop worrying about the future. And finally， take it easy and begin enjoying the simple things in life. Stop to smell the roses.

你是在蠟燭兩頭燒嗎？你覺得你沒有時間獨處嗎？你是否忘記了在生日或假日給家人打電話呢？你是不是因為太忙而不再和朋友出去了？又或者，你難以放松或娛樂自己嗎？

如果你清楚地了解你自己，你要記得放慢腳步，花更多的時間去做每件事。過上一個平衡的生活意味著整合好生活中每一個必不可少的部分，使你的健康、朋友、家庭、工作和愛情融為一體。

下面這些建議可以幫助你更好地恢復(fù)一個健康的生活態(tài)度。首先，記住為你生命中重要的人騰出時間。不要把自己的行程安排得太滿，與朋友和家人共度美好時光。第二，學(xué)會在吃飯，說話，走路，開車的時候慢一些。有時，別忘了你還可以關(guān)掉手機(jī)。真正想和你談話的人會再打電話給你的。第三，學(xué)會活在當(dāng)下，不再擔(dān)心未來。最后，放輕松，開始享受生活中的簡單事情。停下來聞聞玫瑰的香味，那或許就是你生活中最好的點綴。
