Question Finding Balance - tips??

Hi

Does anyone have any tips on finding an appropriate balance in their lives? How did you do it?

I try to set goals in various areas of my life, but I've noticed when I am doing well with my health goals, my financial goals will slip, or when I'm on point with my career goals, my relationship will slip.

How can I find the balance to keep all the plates spinning at once?

Thanks!

Hi Danyelle,

These posts from Steve's blog have some good information about balance and goal setting:

Default Balance is overrated!

Hi, Danyelle, and welcome!

I would go for harmony over balance, any day. You'll find many articles and blog posts on Steve's site regarding figuring out what your purpose and values are, and prioritizing your goals based on who you really are. I hope you have a chance to read through all the valuable information here.

Once you are aligning yourself with your real passions, purpose, and values, you'll find that the Universe will take care of keeping the right plates spinning at the right time. You can resign as Chief Person in Charge of Everything, and trust that everything will be taken care of - but not all of it by you!
