Take a deep breath in. Hold it. Exhale.

Find the moment below with that same colour, then go to the closing moment at the end.

Take a moment to….

🔴 … grab a pen or pencil and balance it on your index finger for as long as you can. Can you move your hand from side to side whilst balancing? Can you do it on your other hand too? Can you do it on your other fingers too?

Take a moment to….

🟠 … ponder the fact that there are some weird and wonderful world records for balancing. These records include 👉 the most spoons balanced on the face (31, for those of you wondering), 👉 the most pint glasses balanced on the chin (a whopping 81!) and 👉 the most ice cream scoops balanced on a cone (125 delectable dollops!)

Take a moment to….

🟡 … take a quick quiz about 👉 your life balance. _{(Please note this quiz is for light entertainment purposes only. If you feel at all affected by your answers, please reach out to a health professional for support)}

Take a moment to….

🟢 … think about a dish or meal that comes to mind when you think of the perfect balance of flavour. According to 👉Le Cordon Bleu cooking should have the perfect balance of sweet, sour, salty, bitter and umami flavours.

Take a moment to….

🔵 … close your eyes and listen to this short and sweet instrumental 👉 Life Balance, see what comes to mind as you listen.

Take a moment to….

🟣 … gain some emotional balance by applying gentle pressure to the 👉Sea of Tranquility acupressure point found approximately four finger widths above your sternum. Rub this point in a circular motion with your fingertips whilst taking some slow deep breaths for a few minutes.

Take another deep breath. Hold it. Exhale. Smile. Whilst life can throw us a bit off balance at times, be kind to yourself and acknowledge this week just how much you are constantly balancing without even realising it ⚖️💙⚖️
