Often people suggest “you need to find balance in your life” to find happiness, and that we should spend so many hours in “this” area of our life, balancing it out with so many hours of “that”. Will we feel happiness if we tick all the boxes in the right proportions?
It is my theory that it doesn’t matter how much time we spend doing an activity in order to achieve this balance, but rather the happiness factor that is evoked from it. We feel out of sorts and stressed when we spend a lot of time doing an activity we don’t enjoy. So the real issue then becomes, finding the happiness in what you are doing, even if it isn’t really that fun. I know some of you will think that the idea is crazy and near impossible, but finding the positive side and focussing on it, will certainly ease the stress. It does take a little effort and practice at first, but is well worth it. If you are feeling great and having more fun in your life, then you certainly feel more balanced. So try taking a more positive approach and enjoy the little things that make your life so wonderful.
