Question: How do you find Balance?
Recently a former classmate of mine, the talented Claire (Centered by Design) posed a question on Instagram: How do working parents maintain balance in these busy times?
The answer lies in the fact that you only have one life, constricted by time and space, so you have to curate it—to put a positive spin on it, let’s call it: Cultivating Our Abundance. In order to curate wisely, requires clarity. But how to reach clarity when you have a constant stream of demands coming from 100 different directions at all times chattering away in your brain?
The secret to clarity comes in simple, but powerful habits.
1. Get enough sleep.
Sleep has the most magical restorative power; sleep is the most powerful detox formula available.
2. Enact a daily practice.
Watch the sun rise, watch the sunset, do yoga, meditate, read, listen to music…any private, quiet, soul-nourishing practice. It could just be minutes a day, but this connection to nature and the universe has the potential to restore your energy infinitely.
3. Take credit, and acknowledge ALL the things—big and small—you accomplish each day, operating on the principle that our purpose is to bring more love into the world.
