SERIOUSLY SPEAKING - WHERE Y'AT?

Balance is a very old human requirement. 

The Navajo called it 'harmony', the Greeks of antiquity told about the woes of humans and gods when they lost touch with balance, and it often shows up as a theme in the works of Shakespeare.

It seems to be part of our nature to need and crave balance - balance between work and play, between intensity and relaxation, between intimacy and space. 

And yet, interestingly, it also seems to be one of our most challenging goals to achieve. 


DANCE WITH IT!   EXPERIENTIAL APPS                
 An opportunity to experiment with some fun ideas…

FINDING YOUR BALANCE
The operative word here is: 'your'!

We are all different and have different requirements to achieve balance.
So…

An easy way to find your 'center' is to pay attention to the off-balance messages you give yourself…

Getting a lot of colds?  Minor ailments? Feeling bitchy?  Is your sleep off?  Over eating?  Over boozing? 

You get the idea.  All of these are possible signs that you've lost your balance point.

And the remedy?
Time out - with permission - to recalibrate!

DO GOOD GUYS FINISH LAST?

“You’re a much better person than she is – Just take the hit – We know she’s wrong – but hey – in the interest of harmony…”
Have you ever heard this one?

Maybe as a kid?
“After all you’re the oldest…”

Or as an adult?
“You’re smarter (wiser, more sensible…) so…” 

What does this actually mean? 

The good guys get penalized?  The stronger you are the more hits you should take?

Yikes!  Is there something wrong with this picture?

What do ya think?  Have any stories to share?
