You’re Allowed to Feel Good: Balance *Is* Possible

Girl. The life you’re craving, with the family, the career, the income, the vacations, and every.damn.thing else you desire is available to you...👇 

...AND YOU’RE ALLOWED TO FEEL GOOD WHILE YOU GET IT!

It’s popular to chant, “Balance isn’t possible / balance isn't real!” because, “balance,” by the definition women seem to be giving it, ISN’T possible.

BALANCE ISN’T a Martha Stewart living room, plus six-pack abs, plus a sexy husband, plus impeccably dressed kids, plus being all things to all people, plus always saying yes, plus, plus, plus. And seriously, who decided that’s what balance means?!

WHY ARE WOMEN EQUATING BALANCE TO PERFECTION?

I don’t know about you, but I got real sick of believing balance wasn’t an option, because life never FELT good that way! I always felt like I should be doing more, because, hey, if you’re a mom with big career ambitions, there’s no hope of feeing balanced and healthy for you anyway.

Eeewww! That sucks! No, thanks! I decided I'm simply not signing up for that anymore. Yes, something does have to give. So perhaps it ought to be any definition of balance that leaves it unattainable.

You absolutely DON'T have to believe you can create the income and lifestyle you desire with a sense of balance. But in case you DO want that version of life, don’t count it out because it’s so popular live life massively over-extended and justify it with, “balance isn’t real anyway.”

Feeling out of balance isn’t created in one instance, or one decision, or one action. And the opposite is also true. Balance is created by many choices, over time. But not if you believe it's impossible. 

My take? You’re allowed to be it, do it, and have it, and you’re allowed to FEEL GOOD while you do. 

I'm curious, where do you stand on this topic? Do you believe balance is possible? Why or why not?
