“Balance is not something you find, it is something you create.”  Jana Kingsford 

 

1.  Watch this video on how to deal with the imbalance in life  

 

2.  Take time to smell the fresh-cut grass…

If you are ever feeling out of place in the world, just smell a handful of newly-mowed lawn.  Wherever your attention wandered, it will be immediately pulled back to the present moment and remind you of your roots.  

 

3.  Parents here is a link balancing work and kids at home

 

4.  Talk kindly to yourself like you would to someone you love.

 

 

 

BY ALICE B. FOGEL

Balance is everything, is the only

way to hold on.

I've weighed the alternatives, the hold

as harbor: It isn't safe

to let go. But consider the hover,

choices made, the moment

between later and too late.

Hesitation is later, regret

too late. You can't keep turning

and turning, or expecting

to return. This earth

 

is not a wheel, it is a rock

that erodes, mountain by mountain.

And I have been too soft,

like sandstone, but there is a point

where I stand without a story,

immutable and moved, solid

as a breath in winter air.

 

I have seen my death and I know

it is my neighbor, my brother,

my keeper. In my life

I am going to keep trying

for the balance,

 

remembering the risks and the value

of extremes, and that experience

teaches the length of allowable lean;

that it is easier — and wiser —

to balance a stone as if on one toe

though it weigh a hundred pounds

 

than to push it back against the curve

of its own world.
