Balance requires clarity in your life’s priorities AND the confidence to choose, then enforce them, which is hard work! Balance requires that you dig into your beliefs, your self-judgments, and feelings about who you are, how you’re living, and what you really want. This process can be scary, draining, daunting, and discouraging BUT eventually, it’s empowering, and calming once you dig into them!

We hear a lot about resilience, which is the ability to bounce back from adversity. But we never hear about emotional endurance, which is the ability to endure adversity AS it’s happening; to manage, and to cope with the ups and downs AS we’re experiencing them. That is very different but equally important.

Your environment is a major part of your well-being and happiness. Where we spend our time, and with whom is crucial to our mental health. If you’re really living life, throughout yours, you’ll ask yourself where you belong, and whether or not you should stay or leave that relationship, that workplace, or that city in an effort to find greater happiness, growth, or minimize pain.
