@jvkn totally agree! excerise in the morning can really help you vent! and like @FootyFan26 said - playing a sport, getting all your anger out on the ball maybe haha

Is there such thing as TOO much balance? Do you think it can be stressful sometimes trying to find that healthy balance with everything going on in your life?

 

Thats a tough one... I dont know. Sometimes I feel like there is alot of pressure on myself to have the "perfect" balance but i think maybe thats sometimes me just being hard on myself... I dont know, what do yo guys think?????

If you put too much pressure on yourself to find that balance then yes.

 

I think that if you're too stressed and have spare time just do the things you love and are passionate about, whatever those things may be.  Some people strive for the *perfect* balance and they struggle to reach it because not everything is perfect.

@FootyFan26 i think you are right, supporting what @jvkn has said!! is there really such a thing as perfect 😉

WHO is someone you really idolise in your life, that you think has great balance? How do you think they acheive that?

 

Mmmm, when i think about this i think about a girl in my class. she is so lovely, always on time, always organised, always dressed well, and i think man she must have GREAT balance in her life. I dont know exactly how she does it, but I will be sure to ask her when i see her next now that I think about it haha maybe I can get some good tips off her

I see where you're coming from there and I have a couple of girls in my class like that but instead of looking to be like them I compare myself to them.  Let's just say I'm not very neat and organised.  So having people like that around has the opposite effect on me.

 

I honestly have no clue how to achieve that and thinking about it is like trying to figure out illuminati.  They all have good balance in their lives but they also have both parents home quite a lot and I live with my mum who is home only sometimes.

the whole concept of "finding balance" can be quite stressful.

I often see stuff on tv or hear about super-people who wake up at 5am and are so productive in the morning. they seem like they have very balanced life and sometimes i feel like i should be more like them.

but realistically, balance is what works for you, and what i'm doing so far works.

I'd much rather sleep in anyway (lol)

Wow @jvkn what you said is so true and brings up a really good point about these unrealistic expectations we put on ourselves!!!!

Footy's great for that. You're allowed to jump on people's backs for goodness sake!

I think just being out there with about 20 people of your age in a friendly game of footy is all I need. That's enough to relax me.

The kicking and tackling is just the icing on the cake!

Hi folks, it's just past 9PM here, and I have SO enjoyed participating!

It got my mind off things - got me rebalanced & ready to face this totally nailbiting situation tomorrow! (please wish me well with it, guys?). Thanks for making me feel welcome and free to express myself. 🙂

 

Now I would love to go off and do my self care like i said - so sorry to leave you guys so soon!

It's been fun.

Bye, all!!!!! x

 

Keep smiling, keep growing and strive for that balance in your lives.rondeau.jpg
