Balance Isn’t a Myth—It’s a Seasonal Practice

Balance has been sold to us as some kind of permanent state—something we should strive for and maintain at all times. But in reality, balance is fleeting. Just as the Autumn Equinox only brings equal day and night for a moment, so too does our personal equilibrium shift with the seasons of our lives and businesses. Rebels don’t need perfect balance; what we need is a relationship with the rhythm of our own energy.

Hustle culture tells us we should be “on” all the time, endlessly producing. But that’s not balance—that’s extraction. The real balance lies in knowing when to push and when to pause, when to plant and when to harvest, when to do and when to be. If you’ve been running on empty, resenting your work, or dreading your next to-do, it may be a sign you’re out of alignment with your season.

The equinox is a perfect moment to recalibrate. Schedule rest as deliberately as you schedule launches. Create weekly harvest check-ins where you celebrate wins, name lessons, and release what’s done. Remember that balance isn’t about juggling everything at once—it’s about adjusting to the light and dark of the season you’re in.

This year, stand outside at sunset on the equinox. Spread your arms wide and whisper: “I release what’s done. I honor what remains. I welcome what’s to come.” Let it ground you in the truth that balance is never permanent—it’s a practice, a choice, a ritual you return to again and again.
