Is Balance A Myth?

Is balance a myth? Hmmm...it can seem that way sometimes. I think that what is a myth is the idea that balance means perfection.
Is balance a myth? Hmmm…it can seem that way sometimes. And I think that some people have given up on it. I think that what is a myth is the idea that balance means perfection.
I think when most think of balanced they perceive everything going smoothly and nothing happening to throw things off. I think we see this perfect life where you spend the perfect amount of time in each area of your life and everyone is happy with you, and you’re successful and happy all the time.
That’s idealistic and sounds wonderful but that’s not really what balance is all about.
To me, balance looks like holding space for everything that is important to you. Being clear about your values and making them a priority. Balance looks like honoring your goals by setting boundaries. Balance is staying up late to finish a task one day, and going to bed early the next. Balance is knowing you can’t do it all alone and asking for help. Balance is being open to the possibility that you can have everything that you want. It’s also knowing that you deserve it.
Balance isn’t a perfect life. Balance is seeing life as perfect the way it is.There are no limits, only the ones we place on ourselves. Balance is choosing to see things a different way. We all have the same 24 hours, and some seem to get way more done in that time. How is that?
It begins with ORDER. That requires first being clear on what’s a priority and what are your values. Then, getting rid of anything that doesn’t fall in alignment with that.
It requires SYSTEMS.
It requires HELP.
It requires TIME MANAGEMENT.
It requires putting down the martyr badge and stopping the unnecessary stressing and worrying.
Balance begins the moment you allow it.Be open to the possibilities of there being another way to get it all done with ease. Freedom is available to you, it’s just waiting for you to create it.
We all want ease, freedom, balance, and lots of money (or is it just me?) in our businesses. We don’t all have it and I recognize that’s it’s not always easy to create everything above to support you in creating that.
But, you don’t have to do it all alone. Balance is not a fairytale, it’s possible.I’ve created it in my business to support me in my healing. I’ve created a business that will allow me to get things done in a lot less time than most have because of my need for rest. I’ve created wonderful ease in my day-to-day because I cannot afford to stress. I attract clients with authentic marketing. I have freedom and flexibility. I have a life and business I love, thanks to balance.
Would you like support in creating balance in your life and business?
Let’s talk…I’d love to support you in any way I can. Let’s talk about where you are in your business and where you’d LOVE to be. Then, we can talk about your next steps in bridging the gap. Afterward, you’ll have so much clarity and know exactly what needs to be done to create the balance you desire.
