The Myth of Perfect Balance — and What to Do Instead
There’s a quiet myth many of us carry — that balance means splitting everything equally. But what if true harmony looks nothing like that?
Balance is dynamic, not static
Instead of striving for a perfect 50/50 division between work and rest, family and self, or giving and receiving, consider that balance is always in motion. Like walking a tightrope, you adjust moment by moment — leaning one way, then another — based on what life is actually asking of you.
Tune into your body and energy
Some days, balance might mean more rest than action. Other days, it’s full steam ahead. The key is becoming aware of what your body, spirit, and emotions are calling for right now, not clinging to an external ideal of how things should look.
