Battle Balancing Your Life For Happiness Within

Unhappiness and pain, both mental and physical can clearly stem from a lack of balance and harmony in your life.  When we choose happiness for our life it should consist of spiritual, relationships, work, play and learning.

1.Spiritual: When I talk about spiritual, get in touch with your maker.  Some people are believers and others aren’t.  I can’t even comprehend how one can be happy without believing.  In one of my lowest times I will always remember the hand of God reaching out and touch me on the shoulder.  Take time   to pray, really appreciate nature and read uplifting books.  You have free will, but that doesn’t mean a higher power isn’t there to guide you.  It is called the sixth sense or inner guidance .  Learn how to get in touch with it through mediation.  This certainly can help you find that happiness within and hold onto it.

2.Relationships: Intentionally take time to share with family, friends, spouses and children.  Build strong relationships with people you love and really care about.  They are the most important people in your life.  Call them on the phone; don’t just e-mail them, which becomes too in personal.  Laugh with your spouse, play with your children and have lunch with friends.  Always keep the communications going and you will ultimately find the secret to happiness.

3.Work: Find work that you enjoy.  Whatever you do always give it your best, don’t do it half heartily.  If you are in an office with others, learn to laugh with them.  Don’t take work so seriously that you can’t have fun with it.  After all digging a ditch could be fun if you learn how to throw dirt around.  Remember when you were a kid how much fun you had playing in the dirt. Any work can be fun with the right attitude.

4.Play: Find activities that you enjoy.  Be stupid some times.  Dance in the rain, run in the park, take a hike.  Choose to be happy by taking an afternoon off and go roll skating.  Learn how to just be silly.
It is never too late to be a kid again at least once a week.  Stop worrying about the word exercise that everyone is talking about these days and just go have fun and you will get your exercise.

5.Learning: I always say, “If I’m not learning I must be dead.”  It does not matter how young or old you are we clearly have something to learn.  Learning is endless and it depends on what you are interested in.  Whether it is self improvement or learning how to play soccer!  Anybody that thinks they already know everything is a very unhappy person.  Choose to be happy by learning something new every day for the rest of your life.

I can’t guarantee that you can keep balance in your life day after day, but with the help of these five points it is going to make it much easier.  Life isn’t meant to be so serious, so remember to put fun in all five points. Do your best every day, because as human that is all we can do since we are not perfect and never can be.

We all definitely deserve happiness within, so keep your life in balance as much as possible.

What do you do to keep your life in balance?

Always choose to be happy,
