Every role that we carry out at work requires a prerequisite mindset. Every role at home requires a combination of a certain quality of heart-set as well as mindset.
The demands of dealing with different roles can cause us to lose our internal balance thereby causing us to see inaccurately. This can sometimes cause us to incorrectly communicate and behave, leading to an undesirable pattern of thought, action or behaviour. A similar undesirable pattern can also occur despite knowing what needs to be done due to lack of time taken to reflect or due to lack of self-awareness, which invariably ends up either as overindulging and overdoing in some while underplaying in other areas.

Balance within is a prerequisite to balancing roles and our ability to meet multiple and conflicting demands on our time, money and efforts. It helps us to see accurately, so that we can do what needs to be done and set correct priorities. If we see differently, we can do differently. Balance gives clarity and can be attained with stillness and calmness. This process of regaining balance can be compared to changing gears. Every time, you need to change gears, you first need to be bring it to a neutral position. In fact, we might need to access our neutral position, multiple times in a day. This daily practice helps to attain a pause, reflect, become self-aware and regain our balance.
