Finding Balance In Your Life

Hello, and welcome back to Liveliness.

Today I want to talk about finding balance in your life.

It’s hard to find balance.

In fact, I think that it takes a constant daily effort.

You can do pretty much anything too much or too little. And what is too much or too little looks different for everybody everyday.

But don’t worry, it’s definitely possible.

Take scripture study for example. I choose to read just a few verses a day and that suffices for me and my schedule. I used to make myself read a chapter but I felt like I would lose touch with the spirit and be focused instead on the length.

So for me I was reading too much and needed to tone it down to get the benefits I wanted from it.

But, most days, reading just one verse feels too short for me. So by reading a few to several verses I found that balance.

Another example of this is with food. I go through phases where I eat a little too much food and gain a little weight and where I eat a little too little food and lose a little weight. I think that this is a normal part of eating food, but it demonstrates the daily effort that it takes to maintain a balance. It’s a lot of little adjustments of a little more than before or a little less than before until you have inevitably slipped up and tipped the scales and have to restart.

Another way to describe balance I think is a daily changing to be a little bit better than you were before, or a correcting of mistakes. In the LDS religion we also call this repentance.

I think finding balance is a beautiful daily struggle that is part of the purpose of life.

I wish you all luck in finding balance in your daily lives and believe that you will find joy through it.

Feel free to share any struggles that you’ve had finding balance in your own life and what you have learned.
