When your life seems out of control and you have endless demands tugging at you from all directions, it isn't difficult to feel rather overwhelmed, tired - and just plain stressed. Accept it or not, balancing your life does not need large changes. You do not have to give up your job, desert your folks and escape to a remote retreat in order to feel calm and ecstatic. Actually true balance is something that starts inside you first and foremost - no matter what else is occurring in your outer life circumstances.
Below you'll find 3 straightforward paths to begin building a bigger sense of inner peace and harmony:
1) Quiet time.
One of the first things we tend to sacrifice when we are busy is our personal time. Instead we devote all of our energy and attention to caring for others, multitasking, meeting responsibilities and "being productive." Over a period this depletes our energy and we start to feel more and more encumbered by our responsibilities.
To live a rather more balanced life, quiet time to you is crucial. You'll believe that you don't have any time available for yourself, but something dazzling occurs when you consistently make time; you find yourself feeling more happy and more active, your focus improves - and you get plenty done. Just a few minutes spent sitting noiselessly in meditation or reading a book can perform miracles in transforming stress into peace and contentment.
2) Self-care.
Beyond making time for things you like, there are more ways to nurture and love yourself on a regular basis. Getting a full 8 hours in bed (or as much as you individually need) is a great start, as well as eating healthy food, exercising daily and speaking kindly to oneself.
Ever noticed that when you are truly tired or stressed, even the littlest problem can seem like a nightmare? On the other hand, when you are feeling well-rested and centered, you are far better able to handle upsets. Caring for yourself is one sure way to solidly replace your energy, inner peace and joy - which means you may have the strength to handle whatever comes your way.
3) Suppleness.
Were you aware that one of the largest reasons behind stress is stiff expectancies ? We all do it from time to time; get a psychological picture of how our lives "should be" - and get extremely annoyed when our outer circumstances don't cooperate. One of the largest gifts you can give yourself is a flexible mental condition. Put simply, learn how to detach from unrealistic expectations and follow the flow.
When you have a flexible mind-set, you are able to address crises and issues much easier because you are not working against a predetermined idea of how things "should be". You're able to hook straight into your creative problem-solving abilities and move through challenges without all of the drama and frustration. Be like the tree that bends with the breeze - and you're far less likely to start to break.
These inner changes can make a dramatic difference in your state of well-being, but you might also want to look at your outer life circumstances and see whether there are other tiny changes you can make to aid in supporting your internal work.
As an example, you could decide to let go of certain requirements that are no longer significant or delightful to you. Because you agreed to host weekly conferences for a support group 3 years ago doesn't imply you have to carry on doing it forever - particularly if it's become a drain on your resources. Be happy to let go of activities that no longer complement the lifestyle you wish, and you'll create space for bigger accomplishment, joy and peace.
