Why a Balanced Approach is Better

Written By Colēgia

Our lives can be filled with many different events and depending on how we work on them can determine our success. One approach that is extremely helpful is to do things in a balanced manner. Today we want to talk about why this is important and some ways we can go about doing so.

It's More Engaging

A balanced approach offers many unique opportunities to help promote engagement. It can give us several topics to learn about while simultaneously helping us stay interested in each of them. One example of this is a balanced curriculum. Some courses may be much more engaging to us than others which is good because it gives us the means to find what we enjoy. It can also teach us ways to stay motivated in other courses as well. Being able to build your own form of intrinsic motivation can be one of the best ways to engage yourself since it comes from within. We can also see this within our hobbies as well since multiple hobbies allow us to distribute our time more evenly. Having more than one way to enjoy your time offers new ways to decompress and can alleviate burnout while still keeping things fresh.

It Helps You See New Perspectives

Being able to see things from different perspectives is another key reason why a balanced approach is better in the long run. Many of us may find some sort of comfort with the type of routine we do and while this is nice to an extent, we don't want it to come at the cost of bettering ourselves. An example of this can be only browsing social media after school. As fun as it can be, there are a lot of enjoyable things out there that are also worth our time. Trying out new extracurricular activities and broadening your skills can let you see things in new ways that we may not have considered. This can be something along the lines of trying a new creative outlet such as photography or art. These give you the means of looking at the world in another manner that can produce positive results.

It Makes You Well-Rounded

A balanced approach extends beyond simply the things we do, but rather it applies to who we are as an individual. Being a well-rounded person comes with many benefits. For one it makes it so that it's easier to empathize with other people. This is due to us having more experience with the world and therefore can relate better. Experiencing a certain form of creativity or even just participating in a subject you deeply care about gives you the means to recognize value in other areas. This is essential if we want to develop our own skills along with being more charismatic. Balance helps us see that there are multiple routes to success and it can let us be more open towards change. It can break down mental barriers and open up the door to positivity.
