INHALE. EXHALE. STEADY.

How do you bring yourself back into balance?

Sometimes when life feels off balance, what we really need is to take a few moments to steady ourselves.​

And it is in giving ourselves the permission to take these few moments that can make all the difference.​

Whether these moments are a few minutes, a few days, a few weeks, or even the journey of a few months or years, any amount of time you take with the intention to come back to yourself is going to be time well spent.​

Because that’s what steadiness is, the embodiment of being connected to yourself at your core. The ability to know who you are, paired with the confidence to know how you will respond, in any situation.

If you ever find yourself off balance, this is simply a symptom that you have disconnected from your core. When this happens, the nervous system gets activated, anxiety kicks in and emotions start running high. In other words, things just don’t feel great!​​

The skill of being able to steady yourself, despite the chaos that may be happening around you, will allow you to access creative solutions to any problems that are arising.

And more importantly, you will be able to make decisions that are true to you, which in turn, further connects you to your core.​

There are many ways we can steady ourselves when we feel off balance. For some it is spending time in nature, for others it is losing themselves in their artwork and yet for others it may be talking with a trusted friend, journalling, meditation, prayer, going to church, getting your hands in the dirt in your garden or just getting out and going for a drive.​

Often this is all it takes to hit the refresh button.​

Whether your are feeling off balance or not this week, it is worth considering what tools you have in your back pocket. Once you know this, they will always be there for you when you need them.
