Is your life more hectic than ever? Do you find that you become tired more frequently, lose patience easily, experience moodiness, and are so stressed that you can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel? Have you lost contact with your friends? Has the fun completely gone out of your life? While we tend to believe we can do it all; the problem is we can’t. We forgo simple pleasures, take on unnecessary burdens and, quite frankly, put other’s needs before our own. This is a recipe for ill-health, depression, and overall sadness. It’s time to sit down and figure out how to live a balanced life.
Performing selfless acts is noble, but it takes a toll we may not be aware of. There is nothing wrong with being selfish. While everyone seems to be concentrating on themselves, you are focusing on them. The first step to a balanced life is to think about yourself and your needs. If you fall apart, you won’t be of any use to anyone. Selfishness is not defined by the lack of ability to help others; it is the means by which you renew yourself by focusing on your own needs. Simple ordinary pleasures can make a world of difference in your life such as: a manicure, a day out with friends; a new outfit.
There is a link between your mental and emotional condition and the overall balance within you. Worry tends to drain us and yet we cannot seem to control it as we continually tolerate the things that drain our energy. The result is sleepless nights and the next day we begin the cycle all over again. It is best to tackle problems head on so that they do not build up and get out of control. Worry about the things that you can control.
Guard yourself from those who intend on invading your space and inner peace. If you encounter someone who is rude or speaks an unkind word, simply walk away. If you encounter a situation that escalates to the point of anger, deal with it and then let it go. Do not allow it to overthrow your life by claiming it as your own. Do not try to solve the world's problems or place unnecessary burdens on your shoulders, life has enough challenges.
A path well taken is one of integrity and honesty. Love yourself; look in the mirror every morning and acknowledge the unique person you are. Allow yourself to accomplish your most intimate goals. Acknowledge the kindness and good in you; you may be hard pressed to fined anyone who will. Conduct yourself with dignity and honor. Finally, take charge of your life; nurture it, reward it; and the balance within will reveal itself through the smile on your face, and the gleam in your eyes.
