I am in the process of reading a book by Marcia Reynolds, PhD and Master coach. The books is about high achieving women and their search for fulfillment. While reading it, it came to me that we are all trying to find balance in life. Although, most of us believe balance means more time at home,time with family, time to practice hobbies, time, time, time.
In my world, a balanced life is really about integrating that part of you that doesn't typically show up in the world. The inner voice that is all about "being" not doing. It already knows your purpose but it is over shadowed by that side of you I call, the ego....the part of us that takes care of our survival.
If we are always in the survival mode, how can we enjoy the simpler things in life. A brisk walk in the sun or an evening with the kids playing a board game.
Do you have balance in your life? Have you integrated that side of you that just loves to be? The side that doesn't need to do anything but show up?
