Definition of Balance &
How to Balance Life
and Home Balance Tips, Page 2

Page 1 of 2

I shared how I found my own definition of balance with my top 5 tips/mindset changes, on page 1 of this article.

Now you'll get to read about others ideas about balance, get more work life balance tips and share your own thoughts.

"In all perfectly beautiful objects there is found the opposition of one part to another and a reciprocal balance."
---John Ruskin

When looking for online resources about balance I found a lot of blah, blah, so what, "Charlie Brown's teacher" (You know how she sounds right? There's talking but no meaning...) articles.

But I did find a really good resource at WedMD. It offers a good definition of balance (Opens a new window.) with 5 Tips for How to Create Work Life and Home Life Balance:

  1. Figure Out What Really Matters to You in Life
  2. Drop Unnecessary Activities
  3. Protect Your Private Time
  4. Accept Help to Balance Your Life
  5. Plan Fun and Relaxation

"Just as your car runs more smoothly and requires less
energy to go faster and farther when the wheels are in
perfect alignment, you perform better when your thoughts,
feelings, emotions, goals, and values are in balance."

---Brian Tracy


I asked leaders at social networking website, Linked In, to share their thoughts about the definition of balance by asking if this item on our free 22 Wake Up Eager Secrets Quiz: "I have a rewarding life beyond my work or profession." was important to success.

Here are some of the responses:
