How can I become more balanced?
Thoughts of others:
“50% – 50%… how does that relate to compromises? How do you approach this in your life? Do you only follow 100% of what you feel, or do you make compromises to please others?”
Imagine that each day we have 100% of our life energy at our disposal, which we use consciously or unconsciously for ourselves and others. But what happens if we dedicate 70% of this energy to the outer world – whether through excessive activity or by giving it to others? What’s left for us with the remaining 30%? We feel drained, tired, and exhausted. Wouldn’t it make more sense to find a balance, splitting our energy and attention equally – 50% for ourselves and 50% for the outer world? And when are we truly willing to make compromises?
Personal Experience
Today, I am aware that every person has a limited amount of time and life energy available. One day, we will no longer be here to use this energy for ourselves. But I’ve realized how important it is to stay in balance – even though it’s not always possible. Life is, after all, designed for us to grow and evolve. Nevertheless, it remains a vital goal to consciously use our thoughts to connect with our bodies and to recognize how much energy we give to ourselves and others. Ideally, this balance should be even.
We also have the freedom to decide whether, when, and with whom we want to make compromises. We can ask ourselves whether we are genuinely willing to make a compromise in a particular situation – or whether we would rather not. True freedom lies in doing what we really want, from the heart, without pressure or stress. If a compromise causes us stress, we are often just meeting the expectations of others rather than addressing our own needs. Even when we choose to make a compromise, it should come from a place of free will.

Approach
Be aware that you have a limited amount of life energy and time – and both belong 100% to you. Are you living and acting in harmony with this balance? Or are you giving away your energy by doing things you don’t really want to do, like making compromises? In those moments, you allow others to take control of your energy. You’re acting not out of love or unconditional giving, but because it’s expected of you. A self-determined life means consciously deciding how much energy and time you want to give to yourself and to your outer world. Are you acting in balance? Are you staying true to yourself in these situations?
Take a moment to reflect on these questions:
- Do I make compromises because I genuinely want to, or just to meet the expectations of others?
- Do I maintain a balanced use of my energy, or do I often overextend myself?
- Am I living in a healthy balance, or am I holding back too much and sharing too little energy with the outer world?
- How can I start taking more conscious responsibility for my energy today?
- What steps can I take from now on to keep my energy in balance?
