Literal Balance

For those of you following along at home, you may have noticed I write about balance a good bit. Up to this point it's been along the lines of balance in work/life, professional/personal, connection/disconnection. But just so you know I talk the talk as well as walk the walk here's a thought about literal balance.

One of the best things I've done for myself over the past couple of years is to learn (relearn really) to handstand.

With handstand drills it's not about finding balance, it's about creating balance.

The difference between finding and creating may at first seem negligible. But as you swing up into the unknown you can feel the difference.

This, of course, is applicable to life in general too.

When we worry so much about finding balance, our worry blocks us from creating it.

Getting back into handstands has helped me quite literally feel this dynamic at work.
