Balanced living feels fun, safe and easy.
Life works, when we have a balanced lifestyle.
Our health, happiness, home, finances and relationships function naturally with ease and flow.
When there is imbalance, there may be a clear cause or it may be something subtle has shifted.
Like balanced tires, our life vehicle moves smoothly along our chosen path and we feel secure.
Imbalanced tires make steering difficult and sometimes out of control.
The state of imbalance can be do to a misalignment caused by a hole in the road or hitting a curb.
Imbalances may have occurred weeks ago and been forgotten.
The state of imbalance can be due to differences in air pressure in our tires or unevenly worn tread.
We may be losing air due to an imperceptible wound or puncture.
It is key to be aware of the imbalance.
It is essential that we acknowledge, when we are out of balance.
It is important to forgive our judgment (fear) of the imbalance.
When we can truly let go of our toxic or painful emotions and come to peace, we are open for change.
Only in a state of neutrality can we know what is the right direction to heal and correct the imbalance.
In a non-judgmental state we can set out mind/heart free to clarify, affirm and commit to our realignment.
As we accept, value and appreciate our willingness to do whatever it takes to find balance, so it is done.
What is the state of your whole life balance?
Where do you see yourself out of alignment?
What are your judgments on the apparent problems?
Are you willing to forgive your judgments (guilt, anger, resentment, fear, hurt, grief)?
Remember, wherever you are upset about what you are experiencing, you are a victim of your thoughts.
Wherever you are angry with others about your circumstances, you are deflating your air and your will.
Wherever you feel regret, you are judging it is wrong and limiting your willingness to see the good.
Wherever you are caught in endless cycle of emotions, you are letting the storm have its way with you.
You can choose again, to forgive your judgments, fears and tears, resentment and blame, regret and guilt.
