Hello Steemhearts!
Its great waking up to another Tuesday after two Tuesdays void of steem activities, i really did miss the show and everyone that makes it what it is.
Today, we would be considering something cuts across different levels of life, race, gender, economic strata or social class and that is finding how to live in a state and good control over your life. I would be sharing from my heart because finding balance with life something i have found to be important to our successes and i find that this knowledge would be a good step towards progress.
What does it really mean to have balance?
Even though being in balance may imply different things individually, there are some symptoms that show that you have some equilibrium.
i would summarize it to say that it is living with peace and harmony every day. Balance comes in different forms; emotional, physical, mental and even spiritual form.
Being balanced does not mean being relaxed and calm all of the time, it is mostly felt in a fleeting moment but can happen over and over again.
Hence it is something to be practiced, so the goal here is not to be great at it but to keep practicing it.
Importance of Balance
While we plan our future we do not realize that life takes from us a lot in exchange for the good it gives us. With our daily routines and hectic work loads, we lose a bit of ourselves everyday and the understanding of this helps you see reason to have some balance in life.
i also spoke about balance being an important ingredient to life's success, this is so because instability in any area leads lag and depression sometimes.
Finally, living with some equilibrium and tranquility helps you stay healthy and this gives you the room to dream bigger and see better possibilities in and with your life.
Steps To A Balanced Life
Understand that achieving balance is not goal but a practice that you continue in. Freedom from the stress of achieving balance is a good way to start your journey to balance. Understand that, it is a state of life that should be rehearsed over and over.
Take care and nurture yourself. This is important because being in a good state of health is the foundation of human activities hence any harmful or dangerous action against ones health is not the best decision to take. Learn to see your health as important because you accomplish more in a healthy body
Prioritize
Now this is where active work begins, for you to have balance and harmony, you must begin to scale the importance of your activities in their order of importance to know what you ought to be doing per time.
is checking your mail ,more important than calling your spouse? Is taking a swimming class more important than your professional course? Learning to know what to do helps you galvanize your focus into what would bring you some fulfillment and peace. In order to stay on course, you might need to re-evaluate your priorities from time to time.Plan ahead and give room for the unexpected. one of the benefits of planning is that it helps you envisage occurrences that can throw you off balance or be of danger. Having a plan helps you stay more relaxed during execution. Also it is good to give some room for the unexpected and accept such situations as life is always unpredictable.
Maintain a positive mental attitude. Personally, i believe that this starts from understanding that you are responsible for your inner environment and outward attitude. Have a positive perspective to life, open your mind to the endless possibilities, see the beauty in life and allow goodness flow from you to others, this will not only help your balance but also make the world a worthwhile place to be for everyone.
Its my desire that you learn something little from all of these and live a beautiful life.
Cheers
