Today is the first day in my five-day course exploring how we can find balance in the mayhem of our daily lives. So grab a nice cup of tea and let's explore balance.
What is balance?
Balance is the state of having your weight spread equally using your body so that you do not fall. But balance is more than this balance is also about having the ability to move or to remain in a position without losing control or falling...emotionally and physically.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome. This is Lauren and this is day one of the five day series course, how to find balance in the mayhem. |
| 0:12.0 | And what I mean by that is how to find a sense of perspective, |
| 0:16.0 | a sense of grounding, a sense of self in the fast manic life that many of us lead. |
| 0:24.6 | Our society, our Western living really encourages us |
| 0:29.1 | to leave a fast life, doesn't it? |
| 0:32.2 | It sets up people on a pedestal who are super fast, who multitask, who have a fast |
| 0:42.1 | method of achieving, it applauds people that focus on success for successes |
| 0:49.2 | sake or money for money's sake, rather than looking at humility, perspective, grounding as worthwhile values. |
| 1:04.8 | It's almost as if the faster you can be, |

| 1:51.6 | Do you think our Western society encourages us through the media, through magazines, |
| 1:59.2 | through radio, through television, to be fast? I mean, look at some of the movies that we watch, movies that are focusing |
| 2:06.6 | upon fast cars, big muscles, getting things done, an angry approach, this kind of stereotype of do |
| 2:18.9 | everything fast or whatever. It's really a whatever culture isn't it? Get things done or whatever. I don't have |
| 2:27.8 | time to listen to who you are, whatever. It's a very dismissive culture in some ways, isn't it? Do you think it's dismissive? |
| 2:36.0 | I think we don't take the time to sit in the little things. |
