The Importance of Balance

The Importance of Balance

Have you missed me? 

I have taken a self imposed leave of absence from writing Tuesday Tips. I love writing Tuesday Tips and I love getting your feedback on a weekly basis. Having said that, I was feeling pressured to get the Tips out every week so I took a self imposed leave of absence.

So here I am back with you feeling refreshed and recharged and ready to share information with you and receive your feedback.

Have you ever given yourself a self imposed leave of absence? Have you ever felt overwhelmed and pressured to produce? If you have, a little light bulb should be turning on for you and it’s time to rebalance.

Balance is a feeling derived from being whole and complete, it's a sense of harmony. It is essential to maintaining quality in life and work. It’s that feeling you get when you feel as though your are a well tuned machine. Everything is working in harmony to produce the best results. 

How do you achieve balance? First, listen to that little voice inside. If you are feeling pressured or rushed, blah or unhappy, you are out of balance. 

Learn to know yourself. Take a self assessment. Are you getting enough sleep, eating well, getting exercise, socializing with friends and family, are you feeling Joy de Vie? 

To rebalance, take a mental leave of absence. What makes you happy? Go for a bike ride, schedule a mini getaway, schedule a massage or manicure. Have a drink with friends. Most importantly make time for yourself, self care is not selfishness, it’s taking care of your whole juicy self so that YOU can be the BEST, YOU can Be!

I love this quote from Aristotle on balance: “It is better to rise from life as from a banquet - neither thirsty nor drunken.”
