What is life balance? A lot of people are looking for it, but what is it really?
Is life balance a cure for hyperactivity? I think it’s more than that. For we feel energized and renewed, when we’re doing what we really want to be doing. Certainly we all benefit from Periods of rest. But it’s not just the activity level, but more importantly, it’s the wrong activity that throws us off center.
So a balanced and fulfilling life, doesn’t necessarily mean fewer things to do, because we can do fewer things, but still feel unbalanced.
Perhaps the answer lies in authentic choices.
When we say we’re looking for more balance in our lives, we’re really saying, we want more ease and less stress. And stress is caused by being out of alignment with what we really and truly want to do or be.
An authentic choice is one that honors your dreams and desires. It means allowing yourself to become what your life experience has caused you to want.
So you first need to know what you truly value and want to do with your time, in order to live a harmonious and tranquil life .
Ease comes when we are living in integrity,by making choices that are aligned with our values and natural gifts.
Think about when you feel stressed and “out of balance”. If you’re like most people, it’s when you:
- Would rather be doing something else.
- Feel a shortage of time.
- Entertain unsupportive thoughts.
- Are trying to live according to someone’s else’s expectations, rather than your own.
These issues are at the root of why there’s so much value in doing inner discovery work. For knowing oneself allows you to connect with what feeds your spirit. That’s who you are, not what other people think you should be. It’s YOU in all your glory!
So how do you do that? Well that’s what the online video series that’s part of your monthly subscription is meant to do. Yet many people never take the time to do it, because they doesn’t understand that we can’t really get rid of “life balance” issues until we have clarity of purpose first.
