Finding Balance During Change

“Getting in balance is not so much about adopting new strategies to change your behaviors, as it is about realigning yourself in all of your thoughts so as to create a balance between what you desire and how you conduct your life on a daily basis.” – Wayne Dyer, Being in Balance

We have talked a lot over the past few issues about our thought processes and how they can usher in change and manifest the things we desire and can also bring about chaos and confusion in our lives. Like so many others, I find change to be both exciting and unsettling. Change often brings with it a barrage of thoughts that are based in uncertainty and fear and seem to rise up unceasingly and without warning.

Over the past few weeks, for many very valid reasons, I found myself in a tailspin of turmoil. Each day, I woke up with an overwhelming sense that the change I had hoped and prayed for over the years was culminating too fast, that the speed of progress was overtaking my ability to keep up in thought, word and deed. I felt like I was teetering on the edge of a cliff, looking down, with my toes hanging off, and wondering if I could survive the jump.

Well, what if we could find balance by just deciding to have great faith in the wisdom of uncertainty? To find that “standing on the edge looking into the canyon” feeling to be invigorating and exciting? To feel the joy and bliss in knowledge of the infinite possibilities we are exposed to in every moment, even if we do not have the exact certainty of what the future brings?

I am slowly pulling out of this tailspin…realigning my thoughts and catching up with the momentum I have created. Soon, I will get back to focusing on the balance between what I have desired all my life and the choices I make in conducting my daily life. The list of reasons to be in a tailspin is long and harrowing. We all have long lists, but if we allow the feelings of unease and uncertainty to pervade our thinking and disrupt the balance in our lives, we will never take the leap and know with certainty we can survive it!

I will make today a great day to embrace the wisdom of uncertainty and dispel my fear of it!!!

As we said last month, sometimes it is one day at a time, sometimes one minute, sometimes one breath! Take life as it comes; live it with purpose and always remember you are not alone.
