Hello and welcome.
My name is Yalda.
I am grateful to have you here with me today.
Let's start with a quick rounding.
Take a gentle breath with me.
Just one full breath.
Inhale and exhale.
Release your jaw.
Let your shoulders soften.
Let yourself land here.
Now let's talk about balance.
Balance can feel like either an impossible myth or something you're constantly trying to chase but never quite catch.
And what I want to offer you today is this.
Balance isn't a fixed state.
Humans are not static beings.
We are dynamic.
Balance is not about doing everything equally well.
It's a daily conversation between you,
Your energy,
Your values,
And the reality of your life.
In life coaching we often explore something called the life domains.
The key areas that make up the whole of your life.
Things like your relationships with others and with yourself,
Your health and well-being,
Your career or purpose,
Your finances,
Your personal growth,
Your joy,
Creativity,
Play,
And maybe your spirituality or your deeper sense of meaning.
Each of these domains carries weight.
Each one holds part of your energy,
Your attention,
And your desire.
And here's the thing.
They don't all need to be in perfect shape at the same time.
That's not balance.
That's pressure disguised as perfectionism.
Balance means honoring where your energy is needed most right now,
While staying connected to the bigger picture of what matters to you.
So let me ask you this gently.
Where are you overgiving?
What part of your life has been whispering for your attention and maybe you've been too busy,
Too tired,
Or too unsure to listen?
These aren't questions to judge yourself with.
They're questions to wake up to your own inner wisdom.
Because your body knows.
Your energy knows.
And if you pause long enough to ask,
You know.
Sometimes creating balance isn't about doing more.
It's about giving yourself permission to care about what you care about.
It's about choosing,
With intention,
What gets your yes and what gets your not right now.
As you shift,
Don't be surprised if guilt comes up.
Especially if you've been the one holding everything so tightly together.
Guilt isn't a sign you're doing it wrong.
It's a sign you're changing the story.
So today,
I invite you to choose just one domain of your life that is asking to be seen,
Nourished,
Or realigned.
Not because it's broken,
But because it matters to you.
Ask yourself,
What's one small shift I could make,
Not from pressure,
But from alignment?
Maybe it's a boundary.
Maybe it's a walk.
Maybe it's letting yourself rest without explanation.
The shift doesn't have to be big.
It just has to be honest.
You don't need to balance everything.
You just need to stay in relationship with yourself and the life you're choosing to build.
Because balance isn't something you find out there.
It's something you create.
One choice,
One breath,
One realignment at a time.
You've got this.
And if you forget,
Just come back to the conversation.
Thank you for listening.
