Balance

I have to admit that this is one of the most important words to me and is one of the main areas that I continue to inspire others.  Balance is essential to living your best and most beautiful life every single day.  It is not a simple thing to do; in fact, it takes commitment and tenacity to make this a reality in your life, so many people fail to make it happen.  But, it is never too late to change just a few things to get it right.

I have unfortunately seen many individuals too focused on one thing they think is essential.  Then, failing to give proper attention to another that could actually be more important. 

A job can be enticing because of the pay, but are you taking time out to spend quality time with your family and friends?  Being a Mom is the most important role you can ever play, but are you continuing to explore your dreams and goals?  Responsibilities can be overwhelming, but are you making sure your health is at the forefront by getting regular health checks? 

Balance can sometimes be hard to achieve because most of us get so focused on one thing and then get so wrapped up in it that we forget to think about the other things that make our lives complete.  

Here are a few ways to have balance in your life to be successful in everything you do.  

• Keep a good combination of science and nature when it comes to your health.  Get regular checkups with your family physician, but also look into your daily nutritional needs.  Explore ways to supplement with vitamins to fulfill the areas that are lacking in your diet.
• Take time out each day to focus on something that makes you happy.  Maybe a sport, a workout, a good read, listening to music, cooking, or a hobby.  All work and no play can lead to a life of unbalance and unhappiness.
• If you are a parent, make sure you focus on having a healthy balance of being a friend and a mentor to inspire your child to follow your lead.  
• Make your faith and family a priority, and your work life will automatically fall into place.  You will then find more fulfillment in everything you do.

Balance can be a struggle for most, but if we can figure out how to do it based on our lifestyles, the best is yet to come.  Remember, a little bit of this and a little bit of that is far better than all or nothing.  Success comes from enjoying all that life has to offer.

 My affirmation for you this week is;

"I am making it a priority to have balance in all areas to live my best and most beautifulife."
