We understand the importance of balancing different aspects of our lives—intellectual, physical, and emotional—to achieve well-being for ourselves and others. We recognize our interdependence with other people and with the world in which we live.
(*Seesaw = teeter-totter in USA English)
People may feel that balance implies equal parts, for example between work, family, exercise, and personal time. However, balance of self does not necessarily have to mean equitable division between all aspects of our lives. It is about finding the right amount of each of these things so that you achieve balance within life to ensure health in body and mind, and positively affect those around you.
