Take care of yourself the same way you would care for someone else. It’s so easy to make someone else special, to give to another. Why not take some time and give a little to yourself? Most people are not used to giving to themselves. Most people are used to caring for and about others. Take some time to assess your own situation. Are you taking care of yourself in a good way? Are you allowing balance and harmony into your life? Are you holding yourself to good standards of nurturance and care? Think about it and then do the right thing, for you.

Sending you love,

Find the balance you seek within yourself, for you hold within you all that you need to gain a footing that is sure and steady, balanced within so that you are equally balanced without. Taking time for meditation and contemplation, for journaling and writing, for self-study and a deeper knowledge of self will all add to a balanced life. Don’t be afraid to take some alone time, to give to yourself what you give to others, to be a good friend to yourself. Balance requires that you pay attention to your own needs and answer the call of your spirit when it comes knocking.

Sending you love,

Too much introspection can lead to a failure to connect while too much extraversion can lead to a failure to discover that there is a vast inner world, larger and more interesting than the beloved outer world. Too much of any good thing is just too much; balance is needed. Find ways to strike a balance so that both the inner self and the outer self are fulfilled. With this intent consciously in mind, look for ways to amplify or tone down in one area or another, to turn inward when appropriate and outward when the time is right. Learn to distinguish between what is right and what is wrong in any given minute. Learn the distinct differences between the inner self and the outer self, and pay attention to the needs of each, so that you will begin to know what balance feels like.

When nature changes abruptly there is turmoil; hurricanes, tornadoes, tidal waves and blizzards all bring chaos with them. Heat waves and cold snaps and other extremes cause disruptions and often death ensues. When picking up the pieces afterwards there are questions as to why. Why indeed? Nature has its ways of bringing about change, and some may seem harsh, but when change is really needed it may not be noted until much later. Look inward each day and ask: Where do I need change? What can I change today? Make change a daily habit and notice how much nicer incremental change is compared to disaster.

Change happens in slow increments but also in leaps and bounds. Sometimes it’s hard to wait for change to come, at other times it’s hard to keep up. To get in alignment with change is part of being in balance with life. Notice how changes in your life, and in the world around you, affect you and decide the best actions and reactions to take in keeping with where you are in life and where you want to be. When change is happening slowly, slow down and be with that pace. And when change comes in leaps and bounds, leap up and bound along with it. Do what is called for in each moment.
