Life In and Out Of Balance

Our lives are always going in and out of balance. Every change leads to some imbalance until we readjust. But, huge or constant changes without correction can lead to mental, emotional, or physical problems. Check these signs your life is out of balance. They often elude people.

1.  Out of the Ordinary Behaviors As Signs Your Life Is Out of Balance

What’s out of the ordinary for you isn’t necessarily out of the ordinary for someone else. This means signs of imbalance are, at least, to some extent personal to you. For example, you might be someone who likes your home to be neat and tidy. You like dishes cleaned and the bed made.

In contrast, you might know some people who don’t care about these things. Their dishes pile up, beds are unmade, and clothes carpet the floor. For these people who don’t have a preference for tidiness, these behaviors aren’t likely to be signs that their lives are unbalanced.

However, when your house gets messy and you just leave it that way, it could be a sign your life is out of balance. In general, this behavior isn’t extraordinary. But, it’s weird for you. Something is not quite right. Furthermore, chances are, if you’re not looking after your house, you’re not looking after yourself, your self-care, and/or your mental or emotional health.

Let’s look at some other ways your behaviors might change. You’re spending more money than usual. And, it makes you uncomfortable, but you don’t do anything about it. You’re eating habits change. Maybe you’re eating or drinking more, skipping meals, or switching from a healthy balanced diet to junk food. You’re staying at home alone despite the fact that you have many friends and typically love to socialize. It can be essentially any change, especially those you can’t explain.

Since this type of sign is about how you differ from your normal, it’s important to know yourself. Be self-referential rather than compare yourself to your friends or the general public.

2. Mystery Ailments And Lack Of Balance

Aliments are always a sign that something is out of balance. But, when you can identify the source, e.g., the flu, strained muscle, or something more serious, you can address it. You can often regain balance.

However, if you have aches, pains, or some other symptoms health providers cannot identify, it’s time to look inside yourself. Are you emotionally, mentally, spiritually, or energetically out of balance?

3. Moodiness And Imbalance

Moodiness can express itself in a number of ways such as being quick to anger or cry, a greater tendency toward confusion and forgetfulness, unease, indifference, lethargy, or hopelessness. A one-off or periodic expression of moodiness doesn’t necessarily imply chronic imbalance. However, more frequent and prolonged moods can be significant signs that your life is out of balance.

4. Changes In Sleep Patterns As Signs of Imbalance

Altered sleep patterns are typical signs of imbalance. Perhaps it manifests as going to bed much earlier than normal or sleeping longer hours. It could also be a change in the quality of sleep such as more frequent interruptions, inability to fall back asleep once awoken, more frequent or severe nightmares, or tossing and turning.

5. No Will And Lack Of Interest As Signs Your Life Is Out of Balance

One of the most common expressions of having no will and no interest is not wanting to get out of bed in the morning. This sign of imbalance can also underline the change in behaviors mentioned above. You just lose all interest and power to motivate yourself to fulfill want or need to do.

You might have noticed that these signs can be indicative of other issues. For example, lack of will or lethargy can be a sign of depression, which is itself an imbalance. When you notice any of the signs mentioned here, take time to reflect and assess whether you can identify what in your life is out of balance and how you can address it, whether that is through self-care or seeking assistance from someone else.
