What a beautiful and insightful post, Savitree. The idea of balance has opened me with curiosity to see and engage with life in a meaningful way.
Now, studying ayurveda - this makes so much more sense. Balance and regulation are often misunderstood as states of constant calm and peace instead of states that you are uniquely made of and as a result brings calm and peace.
Yes! I’m so glad this makes sense to you. Ayurveda has so much wisdom. And, it’s a relief to know that balance doesn’t mean we’re agreeable…. it has a strong nervous system.
Right on! I used to believe in the life work balance, but it makes you tired because you find yourself obsessing over balance, micro managing your time according to some undefined sense of equality across all things.
The fascinating thing is, when you become obsessed with the things that call you from a higher place, you find reserves of focus, energy and drive you didn't know you had
You also make decisions to support this obsession. Exercise and eating habits that give you even more energy and focus, you behin.to think of ways to earn money so you can do even more of what obsesses you.
Absolutely right! Magic happens when we obsess over our higher calling - energy rises, habits align, and money flows. This is the Universal exchange for doing what we are called to do. Thanks for articulating this so clearly.
Loved this piece, especially the line "Makes you tired because it takes more energy than you think to shrink and stay shrunk." So true. What good to have "balance" if we feel small and misaligned. Thank you!

Balance should make you present. When life is balanced you don’t live in constant rush and stress. I loved your article Savitree.
Glad you enjoyed it, Joyce! Rush and stress is a sure sign we aren’t present.
Thank you so much Savitree! Absolutely right!
I used to find "balance" in how I work or how I show up to the world...and realised a few months back what a buttload of bullshit it is lol!
I love being colourful! I love being obsessed! Dimming that only dims my core light! Why should I ever do that??!!
It is a buttload of b.s.! Never dim. Always stay colorful, Shruthi! The world needs you that way 😎

Yes it's miraculous how this happens.
Check your emotions and own your own experiences, making no one else accountable to them.
My lessons learned in these last 6 months. Thank you Savitree 🌱.
You’re welcome, Julie! You’re rockin it!

That’s certainly not the kind of “balance” I want! Glad you love this piece, Promise.
