Tax Day

So today's the big day - TAX DAY. Aspirin's best selling day I'm sure. It hurts just to think about it. We pay a little bit every week and then we have a deadline each year to balance out and to pay up.

What else is taxing us all year? We don't have a day set aside that we reconcile all of our emotional taxes, we just keep paying in. Some of us pay in way to much and we deserve a rebate that will never come until we balance the books. Others don't pay in nearly enough so we wind up owing ourselves big time. Just like an outstanding IRS bill it will come due in a very big way.

Why is it that we just keep letting accrue? If it's anything like why we dread tax time each year, it's the fear that we will end up owing something that we don't want to pay. But the difference is that when we balance our emotional bank accounts it always pays us back in big ways.

So take some time today to set a date. A date that you will spend some time alone crunching the numbers. How much time are you giving to others in a healthy way, how much of that time is not healthy for anyone? How much time do you give to the expansion of your soul doing the things that you love and that bring you back into balance? Take a day to pay them off. Give time to a loved one that you have neglected or take some time for yourself if you have been giving too much. Make note of the numbers and see if you can balance the books more often for next year.
