What Does Balance Actually Look Like?
Balance isn’t about doing it all. It’s about doing the right things at the right times without sacrificing what truly matters to you. So how do you know if you’re balanced? Here are some key signs:
- A General Feeling of Peace and Optimism – Life isn’t perfect, and it never will be. But when you’re balanced, you approach challenges with a sense of steadiness instead of feeling constantly overwhelmed.
- Your Work Fuels Your Life, Not the Other Way Around – Your career or business should support the life you want, not consume it.
- Your Relationships Thrive, Not Just Survive on Leftover Scraps of You – No success is worth sacrificing your most important relationships.
- You Don’t Feel Guilty Every Time You Sit Still – Rest is a necessity, not a luxury.
What Balance is Not
Let’s also clear up some common misconceptions:
- It’s not about being caught up on everything.
- It’s not about hustling so hard that you earn a gold star in burnout.
- It’s not about making everyone else happy at the expense of yourself or your family.
How I Knew I Had Made Progress
For years, I worried that balance didn’t exist—or that if it did, I wasn’t capable of achieving it. But when I started making intentional changes, I saw progress in small but significant ways:
- Sourdough Bread: I went from feeling resentment over making a 30-minute dinner to having the time (and patience) for a two-day sourdough process.
- Friend Time: I used to cancel plans out of overwhelm; now, I’m the one initiating get-togethers.
- Quarterly Overnight Dates: These used to stress me out because of everything I wasn’t getting done. Now, I embrace the time away and actually look forward to it.
What Balanced Women Do Differently
Balanced women aren’t magical unicorns with extra hours in the day. They simply make different choices. Here’s what they do:
- They Say No, Even When It’s Uncomfortable – They protect their limits like a bodyguard at a VIP event.
- They Let Go of Guilt – Sitting still, resting, or choosing peace over productivity is not a crime.
- They Prioritize What Matters Most – Whether it’s family, health, personal growth, or joy, balanced women make intentional choices about where their time and energy go.
Becoming the Most Balanced Woman You Know
You don’t need permission to redefine balance on your own terms. The only metric that matters is how you feel in your life. Not how it looks on the outside, not how productive you are, and not whether someone else approves of your choices.
Balance is waking up with peace, moving through your day with purpose, and going to bed without a weight of regret on your shoulders.
So, what’s one small shift you can make today to move toward that feeling? Start there, and keep going. Because you deserve to feel balanced—not just look like you are.
