That Balance Between Certainty and Variety

The Thriveology Podcast For Thrive Nation

We need balance. Tony Robbins notes that we have several human drives. The first two are where we need balance: certainty and variety. We need to be able to count on things in life -- that's certainty. But we also need new experiences and a change of pace -- that's variety. Too much of one makes most of us crave the other... until we get too much of that. Balance. That doesn't mean that we find the space equidistant between certainty and variety, but that we have BOTH as parts of our lives. How is YOUR balance? I know I am out of balance when I get exhausted by too much busyness and unpredictability (too much variety, too little certainty) or when I am bored and energy-less (too much certainty, too little variety). In this week's podcast, I discuss how to find the balance and why it is so important. It is also a great lead-in to this week's Save The Marriage Podcast, where I discuss how this can cause problems in relationships. But it applies to everyone, single or in a relationship.
