But perhaps that's not the healthiest thing to strive for. This week, Janine and Shannon discuss letting go of the urge for balance and instead looking toward adding harmony in our lives.\n\nDiscussion topics include:\n\n\u2022 The elusive nature of \"balance\"\n\u2022 The pressure of feeling that everything has to be in balance\n\u2022 How trying to maintain balance can be paralyzing\n\u2022 Shifting to a goal of harmony, rather than balance\n\u2022 The ebb and flow of harmony and melody\n\u2022 The effect of little changes in maintaining harmony\n\u2022 How a shift in language can make a difference on the unconscious level\n\u2022 The vast difference in the feeling that the word balance evokes, compared with harmony\n\u2022 Another possible goal: equanimity (which is easier to achieve when harmony is your guiding principle)\n\u2022 How balance feels more effortful than harmony\n\u2022 Allowing space for ebb and flow in a harmonious life\n\nVisit the show notes at www.gettingtogoodenough.com for links!","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/cd2e0d56-1e2f-481a-8571-c4663350c6a6/648i5bBT0OJL-jqDq5kKTfH1.png"}
