Many people are interested in getting their lives into some sort of a balanced state, be it getting our work in order, keeping track of the kids birthdays and gifts, or even day to day activities like housework. Get A Balanced Life Month is here to act as a reminder that humans are not machines that are meant to work all the time, but there are times and places for everything!

How to Celebrate Get A Balanced Life Month

Take Time to Rest

Many people who are looking for a balanced life tend to lean too far into work and not enough into rest and self care. One of the best things a person can do for balance and health is to get enough sleep. Practice sleep hygiene and allow for 7-9 hours in bed. Check with a doctor of sleeping problems are a concern.

Eat Balanced Meals

The food we put into our bodies acts as fuel for our lives. To live a balanced life, we can consider what’s on our plates. Each meal can offer a balance of veggies, leafy greens and protein. And a few bites of chocolate for a snack never hurt anyone either. Get a Balanced Life Month is all about moderation.

Get Organized

An organized home can lead to a more balanced life and lifestyle. Keep a calendar on the fridge to keep track of important dates and times. Organize items on shelves, either alphabetically or by what they are. When there is a place for everything and everything is in its place, life can feel a lot less out of control!

History of Get A Balanced Life Month

No matter where we look, we see people struggling to keep their life in some sort of order and balance. Yet this trend of keeping our lives in some sort of odd kind of balance did not begin until The Great Depression, where families struggled to feed themselves as everything was skyrocketing in price and unemployment rates were through the roof.

While it may not be as severe in the modern societies, there are still thousands of people struggling to balance their lives in order to make ends meet and have a place to call home. Some have a better time with getting their lives into a balanced state than others. Others sometimes give up and let their lives crash into chaos and disarray.

Why is Get A Balanced Life Month called such a thing? Well, seeing as how it starts near the beginning of a new year, this event is for those hoping for a new start to get their lives into some sort of order and balance, to relieve the stresses of everyday life.

We have all been there in one way or another, trying to balance something out to make it work so we have room for our personal life. And this month is the perfect time to get started!
