Do You Need Balance in Your life?

Tomorrow, September 22nd, is the vernal equinox the second time this year when the day and night will be of equal length. The day after on the 23rd, the sun moves into Libra the sign of the scales of justice and balance. 

It seems as though this is the perfect moment in time to get your life back into balance once and for all, but how do you achieve that?

I'm one of these people that very much dislikes the phrase "work - life balance" and I'll explain why. That's not to say that I don't think we should have a balance between the work that we have to do to live, to survive and pay our bills or to take care of our families, and our leisure and enjoyment. Quite the reverse is true actually.

I take exception to this saying because it's normally used to make working people into feeling that they are doing something wrong when they feel tired, burnt out, and exhausted by the pressures of the modern world. 

When I was an employee it almost felt as though the expression had been weaponised to make me wrong no matter what I did. If I worked hard and pushed myself, then asked for help, it was my fault for not having a better work life balance. But they wouldn't be happy if I coasted and just got by either, so I always felt like I couldn't win. Work life balance seemed to be this magical unicorn that I was constantly told I just wasn't trying hard enough to achieve.

But I really WAS!

Talking to a client with a similar conundrum earlier this year, I realised what an unfair statement this really is bearing in mind that in the Western world, most of us work 5 days a week and get 2 days off.

How do you balance 5 with 2?!

Well, guess what - YOU CAN'T! It's a mathematical impossibility!

At this point you might be thinking "yes, but you have evenings after work" but I ask you this; how much energy do you really have left after a full day working for your company or business?

I used to manage a yoga class and maybe an evening course, but most of my time was spent cooking, cleaning my home, doing chores and then finally collapsing in front of the television.

As we move into a symbolic time of balance in the year, I want you to think about what is out of sync in your life?

The year's events so far have made many people reevaluate their lifestyles, and many people no longer want to return to the 9-5 grind, and are finding that they really enjoyed their time at home, with family and pets. or just spent on their own having quality time with themselves. I think a lot of people found themselves this year.

As the year 2020 challenges us to see things in a new way and build a new reality for ourselves, this really seems like the moment to be having those conversations either internally or with your loved ones. 

The old style of living to date has been systematically destroyed since March, and we are presented with a unique opportunity in our history to change it as we want it to be. 

I would also add the cautionary note that if we don't visualise and work towards our dreams, then somebody else will choose our future for us, and given current events I would wager that option isn't a very hopeful one for any of us!

So I'm going to suggest taking some time out this week to find your balance. Observe the equinox and enjoy the feeling of the change of season as the wheel of the year moves toward winter. Welcome Libra season which will last until 22nd October, and use those balancing energies of justice, equity and fairness to help you clarify your vision for the future, so you can manifest the life that you want, and ultimately, that will lead to a world that is better for everybody.

With Love & Gratitude
