Balance is something that seems further and further out of reach these days when you look at the time required for work, play, and yourself. It can feel like your battery gets drained, and never fully recharges. Personally, part of finding balance has come from realizing that there are a lot of things I was devoting time to that I actually didn\u2019t like but rather felt obligated to do. I am not talking about the essentials like work, cleaning, and basic life maintenance, but rather the things I thought brought me joy that did not, or maybe they once did, but have since stopped doing so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t think it\u2019s possible to solve this problem like it\u2019s\na static math equation. The answer is always changing, and it means staying in\nfront of it and getting clever, learning to see the signs informing us that\nthings are no longer going well, and having the resources and support to\nconfront those things and make the changes we need to make. In this week\u2019s\nDaily Focus, we\u2019ll explore what it takes to find balance in an increasingly\nbusy world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBalance is a feeling derived from being whole and\ncomplete; it’s a sense of harmony. It is essential to maintaining quality in\nlife and work.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> –Joshua Osenga<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n At its most basic, balance brings a sense of completion.\nThis means that looking at what\u2019s missing can lead you to the places where you\nstill need to focus. Take a look at what you\u2019re longing for and ask yourself if\nyou\u2019re really spending enough time and energy meeting your own needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBalancing on a rope requires skill, steady feet, a\nsteady mind, and a sense of weight control. As you can see, the act of\nbalancing consists of several things. Some of these things may be small but at\nthe same time necessary to put the act together.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> –Ginel Love<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Just as a real balancing act requires focusing on even the small steps and motions, real-life requires something similar. It\u2019s not enough to just carve out the time and hope for the best. We are always changing, and so are our needs. Just as the tightrope walker moves on muscle memory, we move through life. But every night on stage is different and requires focus, and we must also pay attention to our own small cues, keep our feet steady under us, and make adjustments as we go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cExamples of balance can be found everywhere, even in\nthose places where you least expect them.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> –Dr. Patrizia Collard<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Part of finding what works for you will be letting go of\npreconceived notions about what balance looks like. There are a lot of people\nliving unorthodox lifestyles, doing things against the grain, and coming out\nwith nothing but joy. You are allowed to make your own rules for your life,\nfamily, and journey. If something isn\u2019t working, try asking yourself if you\nreally need to be doing it, rather than if you can do it better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSelf-care is, fundamentally, about bringing balance\nback to a life that has grown imbalanced from too many commitments or\nresponsibilities.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> –Robyn L. Gobin<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Self-care is a huge aspect of balance. It\u2019s not the only aspect, but it\u2019s the one that we often have the most control over. But what does self-care actually look like? I always picture bubble baths, which is absurd because I don\u2019t even like baths! But we often have an image in our minds about what should be helpful, even when it\u2019s not. Sometimes self-care is paying bills to relieve anxiety, sometimes it’s playing video games to do the same. Everyone is different, and each day brings different needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n “Getting in balance is not so much about adopting\nnew strategies to change your behaviors, as it is about realigning yourself in\nall of your thoughts so as to create a balance between what you desire and how\nyou conduct your life on a daily basis.”<\/em><\/strong> –Wayne Dyer<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Start small. Look at the things you\u2019re already doing and\nmake small adjustments. Give yourself an extra 30 minutes in bed to read, take\nthe long drive to work for the scenery, cut the Netflix binge short for more\nsleep. There are hundreds of little things we can try each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Part of this balance means not missing out on\nsome of the marvels of life around you, the fun, some excitement, or other\nchallenges in life.”<\/em><\/strong> –Catherine Pulsifer<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Adding in moments of self-care and joy is important but so is rising to meet a challenge. Pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone will broaden your horizons. Even if it doesn\u2019t work out, you will have a better understanding of your own needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n “Imagine what it would mean if you added positive\nlevels of loyalty, communication, play, forgiveness, unconditional love, a\npositive attitude, and balance in your life!”<\/em><\/strong> –Garry\nMcDaniel<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Connection with others, communication, and play are all important parts of balance. It\u2019s not just about finding time to fit in all the work you need to do, alongside other obligations, it\u2019s about creating space within those moments for the magic to happen. <\/p>\n\n\n Want to build a better future?
