Balance is something that is often mentioned in personal development and well-being circles. It is said you should eat a balanced diet, live a balanced life and seek a good work/family balance. But what is balance? What does it mean to live a balanced life and why does balance seem like such an elusive concept?
Life is hectic and constantly changing. Balance is a very individualized achievement. What may be a balanced diet or work-life for one, may not be the same for another. We simply cannot compare ourselves to others for finding balance; it must be found within yourself.
We balance the elements of life we can control and reconcile with the ones we cannot.
What steps have you taken to find balance in various aspects of your life? How has balancing even one part of your life helped you to feel a positive change?
