Dear Sinai Weekly,

Today instead of writing in my diary, I have decided to use you as my diary and write down what I think and feel at this precise moment to share with all you other Sharmers.

The word that comes to my head right now is balance… Am I a balanced person?

Then it dawned on me, I am here trying to seek the balance between reality and illusion, but whether, in Sharm or in me personally, that is the question?

Life shouldn’t be too full of work, nor games; love nor hate; People usually find it extremely hard to maintain a balanced life anywhere in the world and Sharm is no exception. Even the opposite, it may be even harder here than anywhere else with all the controversial cultures, nationalities and different religions. I don’t know what made me suddenly think of this subject; maybe it was the fact that my life has been so unstable lately with a lot going on and a lot on my mind…

Well, whatever the reason, pursue your quest for stability and balance, don’t let the images get you down or sway you off your track…
Also, as we are now entering autumn, it is important to acknowledge the change in season, as it can really change ones mood not to mention that it brings with it new hope, possibilities and expectations.

So here are a few points to help you seek the balance you so need to lead a happy life:

Well, here goes: there are so many aspects in life that you have to keep balanced in order to obtain health, security, and happiness. In doing this you will need to understand the importance of growth and development. It is not very easy to achieve a balanced life but with enough determination you will be able to pull it off.

In my opinion one of the most important thing in a balanced lifestyle is to start with the body; you have to be healthy and strong to be able to perform carry out your responsibilities and duties. This is easily done by eating a healthy diet and doing regular exercise which makes you feel better in the long run.  

Also, you should try to have a positive outlook on life as it is your mind that controls your feelings and emotions, and you shouldn’t let insecurity, self pity, sadness, and disappointment creep in otherwise it will certainly lead to an unbalanced life.

However, there are other aspects of as well that lead to happy life such as money; money is always a problem and worry for most people but you should let it control you. Try saving now and again then that will let sleep better. 

Your social life is another extremely important factor in achieving peace and contentment as nothing can beat spending quality time with friends, family and all those you love to lift your mood. Being with those close to your heart makes you feel loved wanted and secure. So make you sure you take time to be around them and show them your affection. 

In addition, it is extremely essential to relax and rest as that can do the most good. Take a break now and again to relieve yourself from stress, tension and the pressure of everyday problems, work and events. Try taking up a new hobby or sport to get yourself in a different mood and frame of mind. It could be any kind of fun activities that you can do by yourself or with friends and family. A balanced life can do many great things that will make you completely healthy and happy.

 So, for peace of mind you have to find balance in life as you will realize a lot more, once balanced and will see things differently being clear-headed. So, try to balance your lifestyle, it’s hard I know but you will benefit greatly in the long run
