Clearly, the art of living in balance is not a simple thing. It’s kind of like a buffet or store, where different tastes make for different choices—but the goal is to get what you want and need. So, here are few tips to keep in your pocket.
Be nice. Niceness is not overrated. People who are not nice create lots of unnecessary misery for themselves and others. Niceness, on the other hand, creates tons of extra joy. If someone is not nice to you or does something bad, let the universe dole out the punishment. It’s not your job, so don’t waste time on it. There is a peacefulness that comes from believing that the only actions you are responsible for are your own.
Be strong and courageous. Just because you are nice doesn’t mean you should let people push you around. Know what you want, believe in yourself, and have the courage to make it happen—or go get it. Don’t let fear stop you!
Laugh a lot. This cannot be overdone. I can make almost anything seem funny if I think about it enough. I love to laugh, and I get even more joy from making others laugh…I think it comes from the fact that I used humor to diffuse tension in my childhood. But hey, it worked.
Stop reading or watching depressing or violent things. Really? Is that really necessary to your life happiness? I’m not talking about news. I’m talking about fiction. Entertainment. Find other ways to get a buzz, but stop getting it from other people’s pain and misery.
Examine yourself and your past deeply. If you are not happy, get therapy. If you are stumped about something, ask an expert.
Try new things. You actually get a hormonal boost whenever you try something new. So take a trip somewhere you’ve never been—even if it’s down a new street. Try a new activity, or take a class in something you’ve always thought about. Read a book or watch a show that teaches you something new. Try a new food. You may not like it, but you will like the new knowledge it has provided for you.
That’s what the art of living in balance is all about.
