The Balance Of Your Life

I am sure you know or can feel when you are out of balance, when things seem to overwhelm you, or you are more anxious or more irritable than usual or perhaps you notice you are more emotional than usual, or you are feeling more tired.   

This might be one of those times when you could be slightly off balance in one or more areas of your life. 
In other words, you may be spending too much time designated to one area or one thing or one person.  Or perhaps you are placing too much emphasis in an area of your life or focusing heavily on a particular person or project.  The result being that you start to neglect any form of self-care as well as what might be important to you.

One way or the other you just know you are not as balanced as you used to be and so you feel a lack of control and often panic.
Well for the purpose of this blog, I am curious to know, what balance looks like in your life. 

What does it feel like to you, when you are satisfied with the different domains in your life and the amount of time and energy being spent there? 

What are you doing that keeps you in this wonderful state of balance?
  • Some of you might go as far as to say that you have clear boundaries in place or have let go of things that no longer serve you or drain your energy to help you achieve this balance. 
  • Some of you might say that by sharing responsibilities with other supports or family members, contributes to a good dose of balance.
  • Some of you might say that to prioritise tasks or meetings, socialising with friends or even family events and traditions, is important to a balanced lifestyle.
  • Some of you might consistently participate in an exercise routine.
  • Some of you might recognise the need to change certain things in your life like, sleep patterns, diet or habits.
 
Getting a feel for what happens to you both physically and emotionally when you more balanced, can help you to identify times when you are lacking energy, when you may need to pull back, reset, connect with others, change something (after all, change is as good as a holiday right?)

Whatever it looks like to you, having things in place that contribute to you feeling more ‘balanced’ in your life, will support you in times of stress or demand or emotional turmoil.  And it is through this effort and creation of yours, that you will always have something as your 'go to' remedy to get you through the day, week, month, year.

Just like a seesaw in motion in a playground, sometimes you will be focused on one end then the other or sometimes in between.  Spending more time with regards to work related responsibilities or task and other times you may find that more time is needed with family. 

It all comes down to being able to recognise within yourself, when you are starting to lean too far for your comfort, in a particular direction.
Once you notice the signs, remind yourself what you are grateful for and know that you can do something about it each and every time, to achieve or maintain your life’s balance.
