IMPROVE YOUR PHYSICAL BALANCE
You can improve your physical balance by: • Increasing muscle strength • Improving stamina • Improving core strength • Practicing balancing techniques
In addition, taking steps to ensure that you are getting a full night of rest, that you are exercising regularly, and that you are eating a healthy diet are all strong components to ensuring you are well-balanced. Think about the percentage of time that you spend working during the week. For most people this number is well over 40 hours per week! Then consider howmuch time is spent driving to and fromwork and around town on errands, and then consider the time spent doing things you have to do at home, like the dishes or the laundry. Then really think about how much timeyouarespendingdoing the things thatmakeyou feelbetter— including those hobbies that you love, but also being active and engaging with the people you care about.
