Balance in the Midst of Chaos

It is typically quite effortless to appear balanced when all is right in our world and life is moving along smoothly. Finding balance in the midst of chaos is quite different and far more challenging at times.

Supply chain issues, pricing increases, Covid, an over abundance of change, and other factors all contribute to providing us with an opportunity to find balance. It is often said in the world of recovery that finding balance is closely related to finding peace. Like standing in a loud room with earpods, we can achieve balance in the midst of chaos.

Loving ourselves and expanding into loving others around us can help provide balance. The natural response to our chaos and noise is to become a part of it. The challenging, and most fulfilling response it to be the opposite. As I write this to myself, I thought it may be good to share it with others.

Say thanks, asking how I can help, sending a note to someone struggling, counting to ten before responding, giving instead of receiving are just some of the ways I am trying to teach myself balance. And one other one, allowing myself permission to be imperfect. That one helps me be more patient and understanding with those around me.

Thanks for reading my thoughts. I hope in some small way we can all find balance in the midst of chaos. Wishing you all the best on your journey!
