In order to achieve balance, it is important to be still enough for long enough to be able to recognize imbalance. Signs of imbalance can manifest in a variety of ways, such as feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, or fatigued. Being able to identify these signs early on, we can take proactive steps to address them before they escalate, negatively impacting our mental and emotional well-being.


The key is to feel, not think.   Let your mind be simply curious like a scientist, observing and not interrupting, and allow yourself the space and the time to tune in to how you feel. Self-respect includes validating your feelings, allowing them and sitting in them.


One common sign of imbalance is feeling constantly overwhelmed and unable to keep up with the demands of daily life. This can lead to feelings of stress, anxiety, and even burnout. Another sign of imbalance is persistent feelings of negativity or dissatisfaction. This can manifest as a lack of motivation, low energy levels, or a general sense of unhappiness.


By recognizing and then allowing yourself to feel these feelings, you can begin to address the underlying issues and repeating patterns that are challenging you and take steps to bring about balance and positivity which in turn increases your energy, productivity, and overall happiness.


Physical symptoms such as headaches, muscle tension, and digestive issues can all be signs of imbalance. These physical manifestations of stress and overwhelm are often the body's way of signaling that something is not quite right.  By paying attention to symptoms and taking steps to address them, we can begin to restore balance to our bodies and minds. It is important to understand that we exist on many levels, and in the breakdown of our energy systems, the body itself is the last in the chain to break, not the first.  


Ultimately, recognizing the signs of imbalance is the first step towards achieving balance in our lives. Being mindful of our mental, emotional, and physical states allows us to take proactive steps to address any areas of imbalance and work towards creating a more harmonious and fulfilling life. Mindfulness and emotional management tactics help us to navigate the challenges we face every day with resilience and a sense of inner peace.
