Balance, Eating Well, & Weight Loss
I have been thinking a lot about balance lately.
It began with thoughts about work – life balance because I have been so tired lately, as well as overwhelmed by work. As I pondered what I could do to achieve more balance in my life by drawing boundaries between work and home, I began to expand my concept of balance.
In my life coach training, I was taught that life is 50-50. What this means is that we will experience sadness but also joy, determination and doubt. That there is a balancing act between emotions we label as negative or bad and those we label as positive and desirable.
I get this concept. It brings me peace to realize that there is a yin-yang to emotions. It makes sense.
However, I’ve started to think of balance as the coexistence of opposites, of them working in tandem. It’s not either or for me. It’s and.
