"The key to keeping your balance is knowing when you've lost it." And Jana Kingsford said, "Balance is not something you find, it's something you create."

A well-rounded life includes happiness and achievement in key areas such as work, health, relationships, and personal development, while not harming others, leading to overall well-being.

At the end of the day, aren’t we all just looking for balance in our lives? But what does that really mean? Over time, the concept of balance has wrongly come to mean being able to do everything, have everything, and manage it all while smiling. That is why we have unbalanced, stressed out and frustrated people all over the place.

Some believe that a balanced life means finding the ideal partner, enjoying luxury, and making the most of every moment.

What if balance isn't something you possess or discover? What if it's something you build – something that comes from within you?

Finding balance is a decision. It means that regardless of life's challenges or your accomplishments, you keep a sense of peace inside – staying calm even when things are hectic.

A balanced life involves setting aside time for both your necessary tasks and your personal interests. You have the ability to harmonize your duties with daily activities that bring you joy, satisfaction, and refreshment.

A balanced life includes eating healthy foods, staying hydrated, and regularly exercising to maintain physical health. Getting enough sleep is also essential for our bodies to recover and feel energized.

Spending time with friends and family that matters. A support system is vital as it makes us feel loved and cared for. Healthy relationships involve both giving and receiving, so for it to be balanced, it has to be vice versa.

Balancing rest and activity is key to emotional, mental, and physical well-being. Taking time to relax helps us recharge and refocus. Your body, mind, and spirit need moments to replenish. Set aside time each day to pause and think about what matters to you. Use this time to reconnect with yourself and envision your dreams and goals. This practice will bring you peace and remind you of your true self and what is significant to you. This is for me a balanced lifestyle.

Balance requires effort; it won't just come to you without purpose. We often picture women in calm poses when we think of "balance." While these images can represent a part of balance, achieving it demands active mental engagement. You must first believe you deserve balance and then take deliberate steps to reach it.

Keeping balance in life can be tough, but it's not realistic to excel at everything all at once. That's why I focus on balancing my daily activities. I eat at the right times and choose healthy meals, drink plenty of water, exercise regularly, and sleep when I need to. I prioritize my mental and physical health without stressing, allowing other things to take a backseat.

Well, I can't prioritize my family over my life. I've got a life to live outside my family, although they are there but not at the detriment of my balanced lifestyle.

I've got a work to do, I've got friends, and other activities aside family, I have to take care of myself and live that life I wished for myself but having equal participation with family isn't gonna give me that whole balanced life I desire. Family would always be in that circle but not fully.
