Balance within is when we are in harmony with ourselves, with nature and the universe. We are fully aligned in mind, body and soul, realizing our full potential, living our greater purpose and coming into our true power. It’s the balance that everyone strives for, the one in which we feel healthy, happy and well from the inside out.
Learning to cultivate inner balance and harness it into our very being allows us to be in the flow of life and to thrive in all aspects. There is a lot we can do every day to stay in balance, however, it will take personal responsibility and commitment, realizing that our physical and emotional health, along with our environment, our work, our social and spiritual life, and our mental wellness, are all interconnected. This is a unique equation for each of us to explore.
Some effects of having balance within:
- Harmony in mind, body
and spirit - Health and vitality (sustainable energy throughout the day)
- Excellent digestion
- Being in the flow of life
- A sense of happiness, joy
and wellbeing - Living life with purpose
- Healthy relationships
- Emotional stability
- Productivity, creativity
and self-esteem
Achieving balance within means establishing greater self-awareness, having a deeper connection with yourself, with the cycles of nature and with life itself. Learning to bring the various aspects of our being into balance requires an understanding of our natural constitution, our unique blueprint and how the different elements we are comprised of work together.
Many factors, both internal and external can disturb our inner balance such as inappropriate lifestyle, physical stresses, trauma, our emotional state, poor nutrition, food choices, our environment, the weather, seasonal changes, work and family relationships, insufficient rest, taking certain medications, too much or too little exercise, or exercise of the wrong kind.
If a state of imbalance persists over a long time, health problems can come as a result, which may eventually develop into illness. Once the root causes are holistically understood, we can take appropriate actions to minimize their effects, eliminate the causes of imbalance and strengthen the body’s natural defense systems.
Every person is unique, with distinct physical, mental and emotional qualities. With each new day comes a variety of opportunities and challenges, and each of us responds differently to the many aspects of life. We all have the power, however, to choose certain things, such as our diet, behaviors and lifestyle. In order to maintain vitality, balance and overall health, it’s important to pay attention to our decisions and how they affect us.
Inner balance is the key to feeling our best, to being our best self and to living our best life.
