What Is A Balanced Lifestyle?

There is no set or established path when it comes to life. What works for some, will not for others. How one finds success and accomplishment may not be the right path for others.

What is a healthy holistic life. For one, may be totally unnatural and unbalanced for another. The beauty of human existence is that we are all unique and have free will to choose what is right within our lives.

How we find joy, how we express our emotion, how we relate to others will be different for each of us.

How Inspiring Quotes About Life Help Us Achieve Balance.

Your joys, dreams, hopes and fears that you hold as an individual are shaped and crafted by your life experiences you have had to date.

While one person may be filled with absolute joy in discovering a caterpillar clinging to a leaf in the garden, another person may run away terrified.

The reasons for such different reactions will be many. However it is likely that the first person has a life experience where a caterpillar brings back warm and happy memories.

In the same way it is likely the second person’s life experience of caterpillars is not positive. Perhaps a memory of the discovery of half a caterpillar in the salad they were eating. (that would do it for me!)

To truly lead a happy healthy and balanced life it is vital you choose your path dependent on what instinctively feels correct to you. You need to trust your intuition and be brave.

The quickest way to ruin balance in your life is by living it only trying to please others, or based on the values that others tell you are important. You need to live your life and make your choices based on what you know is correct for you.

As you read the best quotes about life, allow yourself to be in a space where you can spend time to listen to the messages that they share. Some of these will connect with you and you’ll understand the significance the message has for your life. Others may leave you cold, meaning they are not the messages you require at this time in your life.

If a quote connects with you, examine it, look at how the messaging connects with you and your current situation . Ask yourself how is it that you feel an emotional connection, and how the messaging may guide the decisions you need to make to achieve a healthy balance in life.

What Is Our Motivation? Best Quotes About Life.

Are you Internally or Externally Motivated?

This determines what is important to us, what drives us and should be a crucial factor in decisions we take for how we live our life. The decisions we take should be simple, and based upon what it is that gives us greater joy

Doing what gives us joy is not selfish. It aligns us with our inner truth and enables us to bring the joy we feel to the lives of others.

Externally Motivated Individuals – Best Quotes:

  • prefer doing things for others and spend more time doing for others than they do for themselves;
  • gain joy by interacting with others;
  • enjoy, and often need, being surrounded by others;
  • usually love the limelight and appreciate being appreciated;
  • find doing things in an external manner brings them happiness and makes them feel good;
  • ensure the things they do for others also makes the others feel good (so as not to be confused with interfering);
  • can at times overwhelm themselves by taking on too much.

Internally Motivated Individuals:

  • do things for their loved ones or community in a quiet way keeping in the background;
  • prefer individual tasks and one to one discussions;
  • feel anxious and nervous if placed in the spotlight which can trigger fight or flight;
  • prefer close connections with a few chosen people;
  • believe deeply in loyalty, and feel deep grief should they feel a close connection betrays their loyalty;
  • are homemakers and enjoy times of quiet solitude
  • need to be careful that their internal motivations do not lead to socially excluding themselves

Sing A Song – Best Quotes About Life

Finding balance in our lives is incredibly important. It allows us to live a life where we are comfortable with our decisions. We are able to feel positive with the way we engage with others and know we do it in a meaningful and constructive way.

Balance means we pay attention to our emotional health and know what will bring us peace. With balance comes harmony in our relationships and our acceptance of others.

So Why Is A Balanced Lifestyle Important?

It means we achieve true acceptance of ourselves. Knowing our limitations and challenging them, knowing our goals and dreams and putting in place steps which allow us to achieve them.

It means we are happy in our own skin and find contentment in being us.

Spend quiet time, reflect and determine if you are externally or internally motivated.

One way I find helps this inner reflection is the use of meditation. Below I provide links to posts and meditations that also explore the concept of balance.
