Balancing Time

 I sometimes find myself confused.  How much time do I need for me?  What really fills me and allows me to be my best self for others?  Now I know what fills me spiritually (daily reading/studying the scriptures, daily prayers, temple attendance, following my leaders...) and I know what fills me physically (food, exercise, sleep), however, how do I make sure my emotional needs are being filled? 

So with that, since I don't even know how much time I need, I struggle finding balance with my time.  How much of me do my kids really need?  How much should I serve? How much time should I spend on my relationship with my husband? and the list goes on and on. I know I waste a lot of time on the computer (am I trying to get my emotional needs met?)  There are so many things to do, how do I find the ones that are the best.  I know that it changes with each season of life, but I am really struggling to find out how to balance my time in this season of my life.

Part of the reason I am struggling is because I have been on a self-discovery quest recently.  I have figured out one of my major purposes in life and now I want to spend time working on it, but I still have a young family that needs my attention too.  So how do I balance the two?  Time is such a gift, we must be wise stewards, but it is such a struggle.
