I am happy when the house is clean and I can lie down for an hour.

I always do something I like, like reading or going for a walk or cooking something delicious, to keep myself happy and balanced.

I take a little time each day to relax and center myself from meditation to reading a book to walking. It really helps me feel centered and focused. 

After the birth of my 3rd son in 2009 I really learned what this meant and what I needed to do to achieve this.  I found that by taking 45-60 minutes for myself just about every day gave me that "inner peace" I had been searching for. I like to take this time to do little things that can make big changes. Preferably, I will do some kind of exercise, like tennis, swimming, jogging, raquetball, or anything that gives me a sense of freedom. I usually have to do these  alone, but it doesn't matter to me. Alone or not, I am there to exercise my mind and de-clutter my brain, as well as work up a sweat. I have felt so much less stressed and more "happy" overall. Sometimes life can get in the way but I have learned to "MAKE" time for myself. There is no reason I can't take 45 min. for myself when I give the other 23 hrs. of my day to my work and family. After all, I deserve it. I even shed 40 lbs. along the way.

I am generally a happy person overall, so spending quality time with loved ones and taking care of myself keeps me balanced.

Meditation is the best way to go to be serene.

I'n neither balanced or happy. yet.

I stay balanced by surrounding myself with happy, carefree people like myself.  I make sure to always get my "me time" and share alot of great moments with my husband and son.

I stay happy and balanced by doing exercises and eating healthy food that I like but I also alow for the occasional fun night when I let myself indulge a little. And I also try to incorporate some quiet, spiritual time.

A balance of time at work, with family, friends, and alone. Sunshine, healthy eating, and chocolate!
