Sometimes life can feel like an endless juggle.. the challenge of keeping everything flowing and ‘all of the balls in the air’ consistently while striving towards multiple goals and just simply maintaining everyday life can sometimes feel like the impossible dream.
So is ‘balance’ in today’s world an elusive myth… or a must?
In our experience balance is not only achievable it is absolutely essential.
Balance is everything, and is the glue that sticks life together.
Like the rocks in the picture above, certain aspects of your life (the bigger rocks) are imperative; and all of the other smaller rocks fit into place around the bigger ones.
Balance becomes more a matter of values and ensuring that the important things always take precedence. Like the quote; “Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least” – [Johann Wolfgang von Goethe]
Life is full of ups and downs, but the fact is, there are a few key main things in our life that make life feel balanced, regardless of what else is going on in our life circumstances.
Things like beginning your day right, daily exercise, getting enough sleep at night, making time for the important relationships in life, and prioritizing eating well and nourishing your body – these are the things that provide life with balance, no matter what other circumstances you are dealing with at the time.
When we don’t make time for these things or let them slip, we feel out of balance and the cost is just not worth it.
Everyone is different and we all define what gives our life fulfillment, meaning and balance…
So have a think about or write out what are the things that give you balance?
For example it could be other simple things like feeling like the house is organised and kitchen is tidy before going to bed… or getting your lunch meals ready the night before to make mornings more streamlined, or going on a weekly ‘date’ day with your spouse.
I bet that if you narrow it down, there are 5-10 things that you know that when you do, your life feels balanced.
Once you are aware of them, if you make sure that they stay a priority, you will achieve your goals and always maintain balance in your life!
Finding stillness in today’s busy world can also be a challenge, even to have the time to settle your mind and find that peace and clarity – which is why at Fresh Fitness we always finish off our training sessions and Boot Camp sessions with your meditation, visualization and breathing exercises.
If you are looking to find even more balance we highly recommend joining our Yoga course which is starting in a few weeks (click here to find out the full details).

We hope you are having a great week.
