How does imbalance disrupt your life? Here are two major ways!
Poor Health
Imbalance is a key disrupter of your health and wellness. Stress and anxiety is not only a mental manifestation of the imbalances in your life but it will also affect you physically as well.

Milestones are important and if you are not careful or not mindful, you can miss a lot of them. Such as first steps, first dance recitals, or graduation. Finding balance in your life will allow you never to miss those important milestones that happen all the time in your family.
Having a relationship with your friends and family is one thing but to bring it up a notch to create more meaning in those relationships is another thing.
