Life Balance

Why do we need balance? Why do we seek it?

Need for a balance in life can be born out of need

– to stop exhaustion and downward burnout spiral

– to balance conflicting needs and goals across all spheres of life: health, career, personal and family life for a greater fulfilment

– to use time in the most optimal way as the most valuable resource of achieving personal and professional success

Success of a quest for a balance rests on understanding a few principles

There is no universal solution for finding own balance - it is unique to you

Nature gifted us with different resources, skills and talents which give rise to our unique combination of needs, goals, expectations, roles we play and ultimately purpose and meanings we are seeking

Interplay between all of them will define the very essence of what is balance to you and ways it can be achieved

Balance is not static but dynamic in its nature

Every new phase of life brings new challenges and goals. They reshape and structure our reality which requires rebalancing your life and strategies of achieving it.

Without correct assessment of the new reality, its demands, changed goals and yourself in a new situation, may lead one to becoming a “prisoner of the situation and system”, spiralling out of control of own time and energy, into overwhelm and burnout

Strategies that worked for you yesterday may not meet the demands of new wave of life and may only lead to further disbalance

Failure to dynamically and flexibly rebalance drains one of vitality

Dynamic rebalancing opens doors to accumulating energy for the next endeavour in constructive and creative ways

Balance requires an integral and holistic approach

Quite often, we see our lives as a sum of different areas of life in which we not only play different roles but also show up in different personalities. At home we show up in one type of personality, at work - in another, with friends - yet in another one.

However, we are complex and multidimensional “systems” where system is greater than the sum of its elements

Life is like a system of interconnected vessels where energy as well as results of actions or inactions flow between areas of life

Lack of holistic approach limits our ability to recognise all expressed and hidden relationships and their influence on each other in different areas of life

To find new pivotal point of control, one needs to go deeper

Seeking balance at work-life level is not enough

Balance starts earlier

Disbalance at the level of different areas of live is already the manifested result in social and physical reality

To find new pivotal point of control, one needs to go deeper - to the level of mindset, drivers of own thoughts, emotions and intentions, or even deeper - to the level of consciousness to highlight unconscious processes with purposeful attention

The design of the whole human system

The wholeness of our “human system” can be expressed as system of interconnected elements: body-mind-emotions all crowned with spirit

Health of the system needs to be viewed on all three levels:

– emotional plane without extra stress and tension

– antifragile mental plane that can balance itself

– physical health underpinned by health of emotional and mental planes

Deep understanding of self on all levels lies at the very core of balance

It makes possible conscious direction of attention as a key to managing own energy

Rebalancing may require work on three dimensions

Resource dimension - development of necessary resources, skills and strengths, optimal management of existing resources

Problem dimension - studying unconscious behaviours and thinking patterns that contribute to the problem ultimately reorganising them for a change

Perception, Understanding dimension - development of profound awareness and understanding dynamics of events that can or can’t be changed

As nature constantly finds its balance, it’s our task to seek and find our own balance

The task of finding own balance is unique to each of us and requires individual approach as each of us has different goals, battles with different challenges, has different resources

Quite often, the key to unlocking own balance lies in understanding the essence of internal and external processes, i.e. your inner and outer game
