Balance - State of Harmony
During times of uncertainty it is very easy to let our minds start to focus on the unknown which can bring on unnecessary worry, anxiety and stress. That is why when we are presented with these moments in our lives - and we will be - the need to bring BALANCE in our lives is a necessity.
Balance means brining a sense of stability and wholeness into every area of your life. It brings a state of harmony into your world. Finding balance in life helps you improve your overall health. Balance involves making the time for the things that matter most to us and minimizing the things that distract us from our inner peace.
There are 4 quadrants of a balanced life:
Physical fitness - exercise, nutrition & lifestyle
Emotional fitness - attitude
Mental fitness - focus, learning, growth, self-care, self-love
Spiritual fitness - gratitude, awareness & meditation
Focusing on the above four areas will help you achieve balance by bringing to the forefront of your mind to be in tune with your feelings and listen to what your body is telling you. Being aware and making sure you are making time for the things you love (including yourself with self-care) will increase your productivity and improve your overall health, physically & mentally.
Living a balanced life will also aid in keeping your 7 Chakras in balance. When we are out of balance in any area of our life - it will affect one of the 7 Chakras by displaying physical symptoms in our body. For example, when the heart chakra is balanced - the emotions are loved, loving, empathetic. An unbalanced heart chakra - the emotions are entitlement, jealousy, blaming others, self pity, fear of rejection, neediness. An unbalanced heart chakra’s physical symptoms could be respiratory system issues, arms, shoulders, thymus gland and breasts.
