Hi Jay
and thank you so much for sharing your experience.
I have just moved to a smaller town too (it is a coastal town) and I enjoy living here. The people are nicer, the neighbors are wonderful, the nature is gorgeous and there is always so much to do. My family (my husband and my girls) enjoy living here as much as I do and I believe that this move has brought our family even closer together.
If you can break away from the big city it is always a big step towards balanced living. After all, we all have to make our choices in life.

Hi Anastasiya

It is such a wonderful article and if followed even to small extent will give you perfect balance in life.

I have just shifted from a big and so called perfect city to a small town surrounded by mountains. I can feel more positive vibes in just 3 months. Earlier I too thought it is futile to live in small place where everything is not available just around you. But believe me I am living miles away from township and hardly felt any need to run to any store, restaurant etc and hardly need there service less than thrice a month.

When I am free I take my scooter to a place far away in mountains, leave it near a small teashop, start walking towards mountains and return as a vibrant and happy person. Then have a cup of tea at that teashop which is no where compared to glamour of a city restaruant but much warm and rich in feelings when I talk my heart to the tea shop owner while sipping warm tea.

When I hear about their small achievements in life I thank God for giving me so much and thank him for EVERYTHING. In big city I was hardly concerned about anything or anybody but now I am much more richer intellectually, emotionally and much more a warm person caring about everyone

Thanks for such a beautiful site and please keep up the positive vibes

I am glad you enjoyed the article Charles. You are right that finding life balance is an ongoing endevour and it takes constant trial and error to get to a balanced you. Your article Is it possible to have a work-life balance? is a great read for everyone willing to bring a little bit more balance into their lives.

Thanks for the article, Anastasiya! I recently wrote a post on my personal development blog titled “Is it Possible to Have a Work-Life Balance?”, so it was great to then find your website and this post. I think balance in our life is so critical, and achieving it is a constant endeavor. It can be challenging sometimes, which is why it’s nice to have places like your website that can help you along the way. It’s good to have reminders to simply stop and breathe, and to enjoy the simple things!

Thank you for your response Nina and welcome to my blog. Living somewhere close to the nature is my dream now and I really wish I could have more retreats like the one I have described in the article. You are really lucky that you have found this perfect balance between nature and civilization.

I really resonate with this post. I lived in London, England for 11 years. A huge, busy, exciting, stressful, noisy city. 5 years ago we moved to Sweden, found a place to live that is surrounded by forest (but still 15 min from the centre of the city) and my idea of paradise. My whole body relaxed as soon as we moved. It feels so wonderful to be surrounded by nature. Since we have lived here I have found I am so much more creative as well.

Anatasiya, This sounds like a wonderful two days. It reminds me a lot of going to Cape Cod when my children were younger. We enjoyed many of the things you talked about in this post: the natural environment with its ocean beach and bayside beach, the solitude, the chance to relax and play games, hiking and running, and all the rest. What a relaxing and restful break for all of you.

This article shows how the power of mother nature in helping center us. Our trend towards technology and away from nature is unnatural. Balance Your Life in Two Days. [...]
