Finding balance in our life is key to enhancing our health, relationships and wellbeing. Many of us are experiencing a particularly intense period of healing, self-discovery, and personal transformation. During this tremendous shift, we have to find balance by trusting ourselves and moving through these times with lightness, love and an inner knowing that we are prepared. It is essential that we balance our energies by taking precious care of ourselves and letting go of more in our lives then ever before.
When our physical realities shift, we can feel off center, ungrounded, and begin to question who we are and what we really want. If we have defined ourselves by our job, achievements, or relationships, this is an opportunity to discover our truer selves and let go of our ego-identity. Many emotions can surface such as fear, sadness, confusion, and self-doubt. We may experience life as chaotic, discombobulating, or disorientating such as when we misplace our keys, get lost while driving, or space out over the simplest things. We are highly vulnerable and may experience physical and emotional exhaustion. Sometimes, we may cut our finger, bump into things, or manifest a mishap just to ground our energies when we feel the grids that hold our physical reality together shift and move.
So, how do you find balance and navigate this tumultuous tide of life when everything you have ever known is in flux? First, hold steady, open your heart, and trust yourself no matter if you lose your keys, your job, or your relationships. Remind yourself that you are in preparation for your future and are being given the amazing opportunity to change direction, clear your path of anything that doesn’t serve you, and set new intentions of what truly does. In letting go of what you no longer need, you are opening to a myriad of new possibilities. This is the exquisite space of creation and is positive, no matter what it looks at the time.
Move slowly, with ease and engage in restorative precious self-care which are simple, sacred acts of kindness to yourself. The best prescription for taking precious care is engaging in simple daily rituals such as: taking a few minutes for yourself at the beginning and end of the day to meditate, journal, or just be. Transform your daily shower or bath into a clearing ritual to cleanse your energy field after a stressful day. Participate in activities such as walking, yoga, massage, acupuncture, or energy work to release tension, toxicity and open you to the flow of positive energy. Forgive your missteps quickly and keep the play, flexibility and humor in every moment. Finally, surround yourself with a loving, energetic support team who love and support you without condition.
Debra, great post demonstrating the mind-body-spirit connection of our lives during change! I often find myself in many mishaps physically when undergoing change. For me that is the signal to slow down and process what is going on inside.
Thank you Lisa for your insightful comment and yes these physical mishaps let us know that it’s time to slow down, pause and check in with what is going on within. Blessings
So important Debra and timely for me today, getting balance keeps ones vibes high and when we are in balance it makes for ease and inner peace xxoo
Thank you Suzie for validating how important it is to sustain balance in our lives. Balance does elevate our vibration…blessings and love
I’ve been on a path of dramatic change for 2-1/2 years now. It began with things out of my control and I struggled mightily to accept them, going through grief, anger, emotional turmoil, withdrawal, physical illness and many other things. When I was too worn out to keep being angry and grief-stricken, I began to realize being stripped down to nearly bare was in preparation for something huge to enter into my life, a soul-calling. As I took the necessary steps to wellness–which were ENTIRELY about finding balance and how to nurture myself through continuing drastic change–clarity of purpose emerged. Finding the still point of personal balance is essential to physical and emotional wellness and creating the rituals you need to rebalance yourself is critical. It’s only when we look internally and nurture our body and psyche that balance and clarity emerge…and along with them, peace and contentment even in the midst of change.
This is a beautiful testament to your courage, trust or yourself and personal transformation Kathleen. Thank you for your beautiful addition to my post and sharing your journey of transformation. Blessings <3
Debra, it took a chronic illness & wearing myself down caring for others to finally recognize I needed to be kinder to MYSELF. Thank you for your reminder that it is really very easy…and begins with slowing down and giving yourself the gift of a little “me” time.
Glad to be that loving reminder to preciously care for yourself….Blessings <3

A powerful message when we are scattered or life shifts out of our comfort zone. “Remind yourself that you are in preparation for your future and are being given the amazing opportunity to change direction…” Beautiful. Thank you Debra. xo

Hi I just came across your post in a new group I am a member of. I can very much relate. I am going through a lot of change right now and this post really gives me comfort. Thank you so much!
Glad that this was in divine timing Kelly. Thank you for connecting and commenting. Blessings
Lately I have been feeling sensitive to my environment and it seems to be creating more chaos which leaves me feeling doubtful. I love the reminder that this is part of the journey to opening up to the amazing opportunity to change direction.
Beautifully written, Debra. It’s true that I’ve been feeling a bit unbalanced of late. In fact, on my meditation card, I’ve made a note to find more energetic balance to create increased ease and flow in my life. My inner divine says it’s all about making time to slow down and connect. Thanks for reinforcing the importance of self-care. Taking time for myself always makes such an important difference! xoxo
