Are you feeling out of balance in life?
Finding balance in a world of chaos might not always come with ease. It takes being intentional and focused on your priorities to create a balanced life that runs smoothly and efficiently. At Meru Mentor, our individualistic approach to life coaching and mentoring provides guidance that makes this simple.
Balance Doesn’t Mean Equal
When you hear the word balance, does your mind immediately jump to equal distribution? When we try to apply this thought process when creating a life of balance, it doesn’t always work out the way we hope it would, which can be discouraging.
Instead of trying to manage all of the moving parts of life equally, how can you create a more balanced life that runs smoothly and efficiently for you?
Start intentionally connecting with your priorities by:
- Being in touch with your feelings so you can turn negative feelings into positive ones.
- Considering your current life season when managing your day-to-day life.
- Knowing that things will work out in the end, exactly the way they are supposed to.
- Quitting the comparison game with the world around you.
- Focusing on small and consistent steps, instead of focusing on results.
Trying to juggle every area of your life perfectly is unrealistic and only leads to burnout. The above-mentioned points are simple ways to help you create a more balanced life with rhythms and routines. Practicing these will allow you to be more content on a day-to-day basis so your habits and mindset can change from old to new ways over time.
Are You Juggling Too Much?
When you change your perspective on what balance looks like and shed the expectation that you have to have it all figured out, that’s when your life can truly begin.
In life, we juggle many responsibilities from work, school, and vacations to family, friends, chores, and of course unexpected life happenings too. It seems our to-do list is never-ending, so it’s up to us to determine our priorities and stop being so hard on ourselves.
It’s okay if you can’t do it all. Don’t be hard on yourself! By connecting with Meru Mentor as your personal life mentor, we can guide you.
It is always a good idea to periodically check in on these points to help your life run more efficiently. Allow yourself to focus on health and family first. Without good health, you can’t get anything done, and without family, nothing matters long-term.
Avoid adding anything “extra” that makes you feel overwhelmed. Simply remove this responsibility from your plate altogether. No one is going to know about it but you anyway.
Grasping this concept is crucial for a balanced life. You’ll no longer feel the stress, and you’ll avoid feeling the burden of having too much on your to-do list (i.e. having your kids dressed in the latest trends, dropping them off on time, and having a Pinterest-perfect lunch packed). Instead, you can focus on what is important to your family, and the rest will fall into place.
