Life will go on whether I care for myself or not, whether I keep balance to things or not so why not I just learn to live my life for God and for myself instead of wasting time away, time I can never get back. I let myself think this way and somehow I've been able to keep good balance to things for as long as I can remember.
Anyone responsible for some worries or families to take care naturally tend to learn how to create balance although some would ignore this feeling but I never did and I keep learning.
As the eldest child of my family, a citizen of my country and a lady pursuing financial freedom at her own pace, I've come to terms that life will always be in a high pace and I can not meet up with it no matter how hard I try. But instead, I've come to learn how to keep things balanced as regards to my priorities while still having fun for myself.
There are many lifestyles I've adapted to growing up in order to keep up at my own pace while creating the balance that would be favourable for me. Here are some of the ways I go about balancing in life.
I learned to say NO and say YES.
No to unrealistic goals: For someone who have gone through the heart aches of not achieving goals, I've come to understand that making it too high doesn't mean I'm not capable. Big goals can be achieved but sometimes not as we planned, I understand that and I have been staying away from setting goals that are hard to reach just so I don't add to the many worries of humans as supposed.
No to debts and unnecessary begging: I'm not saying taking loans and asking for help is wrong, I just feel we should put in mind that everyone's got their own headache to cure so getting yourself into debts to them or begging just whatever from them mostly don't end well. I avoid that as much as I can, I hate debts and unnecessary begging personally.
Yes to self care and rest: I'm no longer that little girl dad would always make sure I'm okay whenever, making sure I'm sleeping or making sure I've eaten. I have only me to make sure I am being well taken care of, that have made me find ways to do that. I learned this the hard way though but ever since, I've been experiencing sweet changes as I make myself a priority and enjoy myself sometimes too.
Yes to positive thoughts and good friends: I don't know if I have much to offer to the world, to my family and to the friends I have but I do know I need their existence, their love and their support to keep going. Not a total reliance but something I can't help but keep in mind, the thought that I've got someone's back and someone's got mine gives me more reason to keep living in the balances I create for myself.
There are more things I've learned to say NO and YES to that have been helping me keep a balance to life and I plan to learn more that would be in my favour or help those around me. Living simple doesn't mean one is poor, it means finding happiness and peace in the simple things of life.
I keep growing my mind to understand the simple things that I enjoy and find peace with, I want to create balance with them and live life at the pace God has made for me.
