A Balancing Act

     Watching someone balance on a tight rope, or even balance an object on their fingertips, leaves you in awe of their grace and effortless appearance. However, trade places and you realize how much effort and focus it requires. There are constant readjustments and near catastrophes. The key to balance is finding that equilibrium point.
     The same can be said for balance in so many parts of our lives. Yes, there are many responsibilities to balance and keep up with: work, family, friends, health, etc. Yet, there is more to it than just meeting obligations. We need recharge time to find mental and emotional balance -- constant readjustments. Sometimes we even need to just stop and really evaluate where we are in the balancing act. I find that communication and reflection do wonders for maintaining healthy balances in life. I can grab a solid hold on the details of life when I actually allow myself time to see the details. Relationships, careers, health...so much depends on a good balance. A little of this and a little of that. No one thing becoming too much of a priority. It takes some effort, for sure, but is most certainly worth it.

Pay attention to where that equilibrium point is and readjust if you need.
