The search for balance can be a challenge. But the key to keeping your balance is knowing when you’ve lost it.
Balance is not something you find. It’s something you create.

Balance (verb) is to keep or put (something) in a steady position so that it does not fall. It’s also to offset or compare the value of (one thing) with another.
Unfortunately, we are stuck in thinking of balance as the noun: a condition in which different elements are equal or in the correct proportions. Think of the rocks that are stacked upon each other.
But how does balance show up in real life?
Real-life is not about having order and structure. Yes, you can have rhythms and patterns which can create habits for ease of living. However, balance is not about equal in weight or proportions. It’s a matter of importance and influence in the season of your life.
Each day can have a different balance. Think about it as Monday to Tuesday. Are they played out exactly, activity for activity? Of course not. If you pressed snooze in the morning, you have changed your day. It’s no longer in balance. You have upset your proportions.
So the key to keeping your balance is knowing when you’ve lost it. In this case, the snooze upset the pattern and the time you have to get ready in the morning. Something has to change.
When you find yourself out of balance (which I do every day), create your now!
The K.I.S.S. ~ Create your N.O.W.!
For me, flexibility is balance. It’s not about being so rigid and stuck in your ways. Yes, you can have patterns and rhythms that help you form habits giving you freedom not to overthink. But you don’t need to have a life that lines up with what everyone else says or does.
This is your life to live. So create your N.O.W.!
- NAME IT!
- Identify the change, what you want in your life.
- What do you want that’s different than what you are doing currently?
- Choose one goal to sustain.
- OWN IT!
- Identify the barriers and the perceived ones
- What is or could hold you back?
- What are the obstacles in your way?
- What current season of life are you in that could bring about challenges?
- Do what works within your season.
- WOW IT!
- Brainstorm the creative solution(s)
- Think outside the box.
- Try something new.
- Take A.I.M.
- Adjust your actions according to the change.
Look at balance as a verb, an action. Not something that you claim as a destination or a position in your day. It changes everything. It gives you permission to make changes instilling flexibility.
