The blogger Michael Hyatt observes the people who neglect health, relationships and the spiritual life for work eventually end up having their work suffer. Which seems so counter-intuitive, but is, no doubt, true, of work or any area we over-emphasize at the cost of holistic balance.

This is very helpful: so often I think of myself as bits and pieces rather than a whole.

As someone in recovery from an eating disorder, I find it interesting that one can focus on one aspect eg; the physical, but actually be neglecting it too. In all these areas I need to be guided by the Bible, the Spirit and other believers: otherwise I get myself in a right mess!
