The Only Way to Have a Balanced Life is to Do It
by Monica A. Frank, PhD

balanced rocks--"Balance Life With Balance"
I often find myself feeling out of balance. I get so caught up in a project that other things I want to do go by the wayside. When I recognize this I say to myself, “As soon as this is done, I will find more balance.” Or, “As soon as things settle down...” Or, “Tomorrow...”

The problem is another project is always waiting. So unless I find balance while I am caught up in a project, it will never come.

The key to balance is not when everything is quiet and peaceful. The key to being balanced is when life is chaotic. So the only way to be balanced is to stop waiting and just do it.
