The Art of Balance

Ever felt overwhelmed from the various whirlwinds of life? At some point, we all have and did not know what to do. For me personally, I gravitate to social media to distract me from the hardships of life but the distraction does not last for long. Over the past year, I have learned how to shy away from the glamour of social media and I turn to God to help me balance the seasonal hardships within my own life. What exactly is balance ? Balance is an even distribution of weight allowing someone/something to remain steady. This can be something as small as meditating and having quiet time alone for ten minutes, going for a walk around the neighborhood, or reading. Temporarily stepping away from whatever is causing you stress by focusing your mind in another space is that breath of fresh air that you need so you won’t break down in the midst of the storm. Balance looks different from person to person, find what works best for you. It’s apart of a bigger process, which is to become the best for of YOU. Nobody else can do it for you, so taking precautions is essential. Society has tried to brainwash us into thinking life is about all work and no play, but that’s the formula for self-destruction. Life is meant to be enjoyed, find the perfect balance between work and play and everything will be okay. ✨
