One of the most common questions I hear is “how do you balance it all?” Isn’t that what so many people are after – balance? Balancing blogging, parenting, homemaking, homeschooling, activities, etc. can really be tricky. Truthfully, I don’t feel like I balance it very well! Apparently, I’m not alone! Although most people (98% of Americans, in fact) believe achieving and maintaining balance is important, only 14% report that they always feel balanced! 14%!
Balance Bar® is stepping in with The Balance Project! It is a multi-year, multi-platform program to open a dialogue that will aid in improving America’s levels of balance. The Balance Project offers a place to share ideas, discuss challenges and successes and have some fun as well – on a journey to sustain balance!

The Balance Project’s exclusive guide, Gabrielle Reece, a worldwide fitness and wellness role model, entrepreneur, wife, and mother of three, will provide advice, tips and her personal insights for addressing and achieving balance in these areas.

“One the biggest reasons I see people fail at achieving their health and wellness goals is because they don’t go into a program with a balanced approach,” explains Reece. “I’m thrilled to share my perspective on balancing busy lives, families and work with healthy diet and exercise habits that anyone can incorporate into their lives.”

Balance isn’t easy, but with help, it’s something we can strive to achieve, and I think it’s great that Balance Bar has partnered with Gabby Reece to offer a solid support for achieving and maintaining balance! Women often find achieving balance is a little harder – particularly when motherly instincts kick in! The Balance Project is helpful for women and men alike! Be sure to use #BalanceProject to join the conversation and visit the Balance Project for all the information!
