Stop Looking for Balance!...Find This 1 Thing Instead

I'll never forget that time I went backpacking through Europe with my best friend after graduating college.  I thought I was being minimalist and hip with my Eddie Bauer backpack that my brother gifted me before the trip.  Packed to the brim with quick dry sundresses, toiletries, my camera and film (yes, this was back in the days of film!).  

Little did I realize that my "minimalist" backpack was actually super heavy to carry around the streets of Paris.  My friend and I decided we had to send back some of our stuff.  There was no way we were going to be able travel around for 3 weeks in Europe with these backpacks on, not to mention get souvenirs along the way.   We packed up all the extra "things" and went to the post office to mail it back to the U.S. 

Now, of course, back home, I would never wear the same 3 outfits in rotation, washing them in the bathroom sink each night and hanging them up to dry only to wear again the next day.  But, when you're a fresh college graduate backpacking through hostels in Europe, that's totally normal.

So, why am I telling you this story?

Well, I thought of it for a couple reasons.  First, I chatted with a friend from Paris last week on her podcast, and it made me think of all things Paris :-)

Also, because life is always changing.  What you need in one moment is completely different than what you need in another moment.  Depending on where you are and the circumstances, you need to adjust, adapt, and flow.  

But, so often you're looking for balance....

...the complete opposite of what you really need, which is to be able to flow with ease through the ever-changing landscape of life.

So, in this podcast that I recorded recently with my new Parisian friend, Melissa, we talk about why:

• You need to stop looking for balance and find this 1 thing instead
• You're going through physical, mental, and emotional challenges right now and what you can do to find relief today
• Yoga is the gateway drug to awareness
• The 1 thing that makes your situation completely unique from anyone else's and why that's a good thing!

Listen all the way to the end for my invitation to a "challenge" that'll set you up to start feeling happy in the now...it's completely free and easy to do!
