When you feel like you’re being pulled in a multiple directions, it can be difficult to get back on track and refocus. This happens to all of us at one point. Well- being expert and author of the new book Paving It Forward, Elisabeth Fayt has a few powerful tips for finding balance. ”Balance is a choice. It begins with your though, ” Fayt says. ” You have the ability to talk yourself in and out of balance. It starts with the most frequently asked question, ‘How are you?”
How you respond can completely change your day, she adds. People spend more time choosing what they are going to wear in the morning than they do choosing how they will connect with people, how they will feel, or what they will accomplish. Have you asked for balance lately? Have you chosen balance?
3 tips to help find balance:
1. Words Matter: When asked, “How are you?”, if you respond with “I’m so busy; it’s insane,” the Universe takes this as truth and gives you more reasons to feel overwhelmed. The Universe can’t take a joke. It takes you at your word! Respond instead with this: “I am blissfully productive” or “I am working on finding balance today.” Feel the peace as you say the words. Already, the Universe starts to work toward providing you with an experience of balance, joy, and harmony.
2. Ask for It: Wake up in the morning, and start the day with these thought demands, which Fayt calls Pre-Paves: “Today I find balance. I choose peace and harmony in all of my activities. I have plenty of time today to accomplish everything I desire. I feel peaceful. I love my life.” Starting the day off like this will make a significant change in the experiences you attract to yourself. Pre-paving lines up the energy to create what you want. It works like mathematics; it is energy!
3. Take a Time Out in Nature: Once a day or whenever you feel a little out of balance, take a quick time-out in Nature. Nature is inperfect balance, so when you immerse yourself in it, your whole outlook on life changes. Observe the tree. It lives for hundreds of years withstanding storms and insects, without making a sound. Nature grows and survives in perfect balance. When we spend even a few moments in that environment, our own energy finds its natural equilibrium. Even one brief walk down a tree-covered lane or by an ocean or riverbank can change the course of your life.
