When we want to achieve a more healthy relationship with stress, it helps to understand what we are attempting to achieve.
Balance is defined as: to arrange, adjust, or proportion the parts to be equal. Are the events in your life ever equal? Can you control everything to make the events in your life equal? Does it cause you stress when you continually work to control everything to make everything equal?
It appears that attempting to manufacture balance can actually cause stress.
Balance appears like a flat line:
A flat line, is usually the definition we give to death, no activity.
Our lives are actually a combination of ups and downs; things and events we label as good and bad.
Our life can be compared to a musical score of notes.
Some higher and more pleasant than others.
Harmony is defined as: agreement, a consistent, orderly, or pleasing arrangement of parts; congruity.
One synonym is "Peace."
When we accept the harmony in our lives we can better recognize the "notes" that we can change to create the music we desire.
