The Balance


I am sure you have heard that Balance in your life is so important. Everybody preaches to have balance in your life! Social Life and Work balance. Healthy foods and Junk food balance. Exercise or no exercise balance. Eating at home and eating out balance. Drinking alcohol and not drinking alcohol balance. 



I am here today to confirm the importance of balance in your life. But ultimately you can decide if you need balance or if it’s just a bunch of fluff to add some affirmative motivation to your day! 

 The positive outcomes for creating balance in your life are below!!!

1. Simplifying your life, defining your priorities and decluttering the stuff in your home and life that removes you from truly living life, can give you space, time and freedom. 

2. Building balanced relationships. Having people around you that you like, and trust is one of the best indicators of living a long life. If you are sacrificing relationships like these because you're working too hard, you're clearly not in balance. I have suffered with this one ☝🏽 so I definitely can say you have to balance your work life and social life because when you don’t you become stagnant, and you will notice very little growth with your social skills and life. 

3. Focus on today. There will always be something that we will need to do, haven’t gotten to or something we have always wanted to do. Try to avoid obsessing about the future and focus on what is happening today. Creating a healthy, balanced life requires you to be present in your family, friends, hobbies and work.

What happens when there is no balance?


When your life is feeling a little imbalanced, it may feel as though you have neglected your needs, values or priorities. Although it may be easy to feel regretful and burned out at that moment, you can still work toward achieving a sense of equilibrium. Most people wait until life is just so out of whack that they’re forced to make changes or take a break.

When there is no balance, you may compromise Your health. Overwork and the lifestyle that goes with it, including junk food and lots of sitting is incredibly bad for you over the long haul. How many people do you know who have died young simply because they refused to take care of themselves? You don’t want to be one of them.

 I believe that we all have different priorities and therefore need to balance our lives to suit our own unique requirements, but first we need to recognize that our lives are actually out of balance. Self reflection and awareness  is so key in achieving balance in your life. 

What do you find helps you with balance in your life? Leave comments or reflect inward and take time to ask your self where you need balance in your life. With everything the way it is in the world today you have to take a step back and ask yourself questions every week so you don’t loose yourself in the daily grind my friends. And that was just a thought 💭 out loud !✌🏽

Finding peace in a storm ☔️

  Isn’t it crazy when you think of all the things that adulting throws at you???  The world we live in has changed so much over the last 10 years and I am so glad to see I am changing with it. One thing you don’t want to do is stop changing. Not changing and growing alone can cause an environment that will be toxic to your mind and soul, and it will spread a negative example.  I compiled a short list of things we can do to help find peace in a storm. One of the best ways that we can find peace is by meditating and starting our day with a mentality of being able to give and receive. Giving knowledge and receiving knowledge.  And trust me I get it when no one wants to hear everything will be okay or how do you even focus on peace when everything is so chaotic. I can’t lie that is hard. But learning to navigate hard is where you will actually find your peace. It’s such a weird perspective but if you think that when everything is easy that’s when you will find peace th...

The Idea of Someone

 I say it all the time and it’s honestly so true we are so into this person and then all of a sudden, we just don’t feel like it fits anymore. It's interesting how the chemistry is going great everything seems very seamless with the connection but then it's the reality of things that begin to hold you back.   Maybe you want different things or maybe it’s just the idea of that person sounded goo d.  You know what I mean. We like the way the energy flows, we have conversations with depth but by the fourth date or when you start to think of the relationship evolving. Oh, wait now we have to unveil secret single behavior, or we are trying to fit you in to an  already routine weekly schedule. Uummmm I literally liked the idea of having company or the idea of going out to eat or the idea of kissing somebody’s ear or the idea of ANYTHING you enjoy doing with someone.  But now it has become an attachment that the other p...

What do People Want?

 Sometimes I ask myself this question, well to be fair I ask myself this question a lot more than not.   In the midst of everything you realize everyone wants something different. I have heard psychologist say everyone wants to be loved but do they really! Or when they say just simple things like everyone wants to be surrounded by good people. Does everyone really want to be rich? I honestly don't believe everyone wants the same things as we think. It’s like the moment you think everyone wants to be happy but at the same time they are drinking themselves to death. Maybe they have their favorite fast food and they love it and even though it’s not nutritional, it’s simply processed food that’s what they want!  And to be honest most people know what alcohol does to them but if they want it they want it . PERIODT  I've learned in life what people want is what they want sometimes they want it because someone else had it. Sometimes they want i...
