When your life seems out of control and you have got never-ending demands tugging at you from all directions, it's easy to feel rather overwhelmed, fatigued - and just plain stressed. Believe it or not, balancing your life doesn't need massive changes. You do not have to quit your job, desert your folks and escape to a remote retreat in order to feel tranquil and content. In fact , true balance is something that starts inside you most importantly - no matter what else is happening in your outer life circumstances.
Below you'll find three easy ways to begin building a greater sense of inner peace and harmony:
1) Quiet time.
One of the first things we have a tendency to sacrifice when we are busy is our private time. Instead we dedicate all of our energy and attention to caring for others, multi tasking, meeting responsibilities and "being productive." Over a period of time this uses our energy and we begin to feel more weighed down by our responsibilities.
To live a more balanced life, quiet time to you is crucial. You may accept that you do not have any time available for yourself, but something amazing happens when you habitually make time; you find yourself feeling more happy and more energetic, your focus improves - and you still get lots done. Just a few minutes spent sitting silently in meditation or reading a book can do amazing things in transforming stress into peace and happiness.
2) Self-care.
Beyond making time for things you like, there are other ways to nurture and love yourself on a daily basis. Getting a full 8 hours in bed (or as much as you personally need) is a good start, as well as eating nutritious food, exercising daily and talking kindly to yourself.
Have you ever noticed that when you're truly beat or stressed, even the smallest problem can seem like a nightmare? On the other hand, when you're feeling well-rested and targeted, you're miles better in a position to handle upsets. Caring for yourself is one sure way to habitually restore your energy, inner peace and joy - that means you will have the will to handle whatever comes your way.
3) Suppleness.
Were you aware that one of the most important factors behind stress is rigid expectations ? We all do it occasionally; get a mental image of how our lives "should be" - and get seriously annoyed when our outer circumstances don't cooperate. One of the largest gifts you can give yourself is a flexible mental state. To explain, learn the way to detach from unachievable expectations and follow the flow.
When you have a flexible mind-set, you are able to deal with crises and issues much easier because you are not working against a biased notion of how things "should be". You are able to hook directly into your creative problem-solving abilities and move through challenges without all of the drama and disappointment. Be like the tree that bends with the breeze - and you are way less likely to start to break.
These inner changes can make a dramatic difference in your state of contentment, but you may additionally want to examine your outer life circumstances and see if there are other tiny changes you can make to aid in supporting your interior work.
For example, you may choose to let go of certain needs that are no longer meaningful or delightful to you. Because you agreed to host weekly meetings for a support group three years back does not suggest that you have to continue to do it forever - particularly if it's become a drain on your resources. Be happy to let go of activities that no longer counterpoint the lifestyle you wish, and you'll create space for greater fulfillment, joy and peace.
