"I let go of everything that gets in the way of equanimity.
I give up the belief that retaliation creates balance
so that I can create
a more empowering belief about balance."
Greetings! Our theme is Balance at DailyAffirm, http://www.DailyAffirm.com. This first week of the month we work with releasing and cleansing non-balance. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation and suggestions for your process. See top tabs and navigation bar links for more information and resources.
About Today’s Affirmation
While intellectually you are likely able to accept that retaliation does not create balance, you may experience that some of your actions indicate that you believe this is so. The popular belief in karma, for example, includes the concept of retaliation. Revenge, "what goes around, comes around", "I’ll get you for that," and "Gotcha!" are common examples of retaliation — a distortion of true balance. Equanimity elicits feelings of calmness and evenness. Deeper than these feelings is the knowingness that you are connected with all others. Or as a friend of mine likes to say, "we is all one."
About Your Process
As you work with today’s affirmation, you might choose to consider all the ideas and beliefs you have held about balance and imbalance. Perhaps you feel your own life needs to be put in proper balance. Consider just exactly what that means. Many people who work for a living often complain that their lives are "out of balance," which usually means they believe they work too much without an appropriate amount of leisure or personal or family time. But others might experience being "out of balance" as meaning that they spend too much time or are obsessed with or addicted to such things as alcohol, Internet social networks, television, drugs, food, money, overspending, or the like. Balance is an intensely personal choice. What creates balance in your life?
