What about your spiritual life?

You don't mention anything about that.

It is very important and most people neglect it or put it off as old fashioned or uneducated. Whatever "spiritual life" means to you, the bottom line is that we are spiritual creatures and life is imbalanced without regular quiet time, meditation, prayer, retreat, self-examination, or whatever.

I'd also mention that recreation literally means re-creation. It is when we have zero responsibilities to anyone and are not responsible for anyone. If cycling has become something you have to do, a responsibility even to yourself, then it is not recreation. Re-creation is also very important. Even the monks I know are commanded by the Abbot to recreate, to have a time where they just have fun and have no responsibilities.

Work-play-pray or physical-intellectual-spiritual - balanced life is what I strive for.
