Comments on: What IS Balance… for the crazy successful entrepreneur? https://www.bmichellepippin.com/what-is-balance-for-the-crazy-successful-entrepreneur/ because business success is more strategy than secret Wed, 06 Jun 2012 17:43:27 +0000 hourly 1 By: jill goldman https://www.bmichellepippin.com/what-is-balance-for-the-crazy-successful-entrepreneur/#comment-2180 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 17:43:27 +0000 http://www.bmichellepippin.com/?p=1502#comment-2180 this is something i think about often. truly there is no such thing as “balance”, but perhaps what we are striving for is a feeling that we are putting our time and energy into those things that we want to be, as much of the time as possible.

with two kids, and two(+) businesses, i can attest to feeling that my energy is often split in many directions. the days when i feel i’m giving my energy where i want to be giving it most, are the days i feel most “in balance”. the days when i’m feeling obligated to put my time and energy into things that i don’t want to be, are the days i feel less so.

i strive for spending my time and energy in the places, the things, the people that i want to spend them on. not always easy, but it’s a great challenge!

thanks, michelle, for posting this. i’m sure that whoever is this mystery speaker, will be fantastic!

take care,

jill

I have a fair amount to say on what balance is.. it’s part of how I help my clients who sometimes use food and eating to try to buffer the world and feeling too much. But maybe balance as you spoke in this piece, is really about having as much choice as we need.. to put our energies into what we most need to do at any given moment. The freedom to flow where we want to be, depending on what’s in our heart and on our schedule.
Nobody ever gets this perfectly.. and that should never be the goal.
I know for me, part of staying sane, let alone balanced, is having non-negotiable morning time .. sacred space and my sacred daily rituals.. what I call my Daily Essentials to “set the energies” for the day… a specific kind of meditation and grounding practice, clearing energy, and a way of focusing my intentions that makes all the difference in whatever comes next.

Love to you my friend..
