The word balance is a very important one for me. As a 21-year-old college student, intern, member of clubs, sister, best friend, girlfriend, daughter, and SO much more, it’s often hard for me to find the proper way to balance all of it.
The word balance means “remain in a steady position without falling.” This definition is so heavy to me. How do you juggle everything without letting anything fall short? To be honest, I’m still trying to figure that out. The biggest point I want to emphasize is that it is okay to take a day for yourself. I don’t do it often, but I know when I just need a day. Sometimes, in the hustle and bustle of waking up at 6:45AM and going to bed at midnight, it’s okay to say, not today.
As you’re going throughout this week, take a breath, think about what YOU need for YOURSELF and just take it day by day. I want to encourage you to KEEP GOING. You are so loved and you bring so much value to this world, so give it your all, but remember to balance your life. Even if balancing looks like putting yourself first.
If you need someone to talk to, I am always here!
