Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance, order, rhythm and harmony. – Thomas Merton

Happy Self Love Saturday! 

Today I want to talk to you guys about the importance of having a balanced life. The more I enjoy my life the more I realize how important it is for me to have a sense of balance and structure and I need to have a little bit of everything going on in my life in order to feel like a grounded person. In my past I used to only focus on my work, and everything had to do with it, even my hobbies were all to do with my work and this ended up burning me out. It took me awhile to figure out that I needed my life to be a good mix of work, play, love, art and giving back.

As a part of my self love journey I took the time to work out the balance that I need for my own life and happiness and this step has been incredibly important for my overall growth as a woman. We need to work hard, but we also need to have fun and a social life! I truly believe we all need a creative outlet and I also believe that it is incredibly important to give back to your community through charity and volunteer work. We all have to do our part in this world and each one should teach one and help out as much as possible to make your own world a better place.
