Finding Balance in Your Life Creating balance in life is very crucial if one is to be effective, happy and fulfilled. Many people in our society are out of touch with their bodies because they fail to balance work life with the other areas of life: family and friends. In fact, once the body is under undue stress, then the brain will not be able to function effectively. Therefore, if we fail to take care of ourselves, then we cannot assist others to be at their best. There are so many expectations to perform on a daily basis whether it is from church, school, work or from social circles. People are important so we need to treat them with respect and make time to show them we value them. Making time to be effective so that others can see our worth and realize our authenticity to connect with them is crucial. When we interact with others, we need to imagine them as our clients who are expecting excellent customer service.
