BALANCE
Do you ever wonder why you have days when you feel lonely, sad, bored, unfulfilled or unhappy and there is no apparent reason why? You may think to yourself, “I should be happy, what is wrong with me?”
Believe it or not, there could be a logical reason behind these emotions. Our body, mind and spirit are so interconnected that the reasons are not always obvious. If you feel bad physically, it shows up emotionally. If you are struggling emotionally it shows up physically.
It is important to be balanced physically, emotionally and spiritually. How do you do that on a daily basis? I am here to teach you how. There is a standard check list that you can use as a resource that will help remind you of what you may be missing. It is up to you to expand on that checklist and make it your own, individually. Self discovery is the key to happiness. The more you understand yourself the easier it will be to create the happiness you deserve from the inside out. Remember, balance in all things. Health is all encompassing…
• Physical- Exercise, yoga etc.
• Mental- Healthy eating, implementing boundaries, practicing patience
• Emotional- Allowing yourself to feel emotions, using support network, making positive choices
• Spiritual- Pray, gratitude journal, nature, meditate, practice humility, be accountable
• Intellectual- Learn something new, read a book, take a class
• Social – Choosing quality people in your life, interacting, engaging in hobbies, activities
• Psychological- Take prescribed meds if needed, don’t overdo it, simplify life, and delegate responsibilities.
These are just examples. Cater this list according to your own life; adjust it to your personality. If you apply this concept in your life you will notice a significant difference in how you feel physically, emotionally and spiritually. When you are not nurturing your health in any one of these areas it will show up in how you feel. The next time you are not feeling good and you can’t put your finger on the reason why, look at your balance list and you will know what to do!
