From what I can gather, it was embraced by readers. The more I think about it, in many ways, my STO is also very much part of my STS. <BR> @Davina – Perfectly stated. Thank you so much for this thought provoking comment. <BR> @Stacey Shipman – I agree that creating a balance does not mean bringing equal parts into our lives. In a way, it’s making sure you are embracing your sense of self and your needs while meeting the demands of the rest of the world. <BR> @MizFit – Hope you enjoyed all the wise comments! <BR> @J.D. – I agree the sum is more than the parts. This blog is more powerful and impactful because of all of the amazing people who contribute to the community. I firmly believe this. <BR> @Sharon – Thanks for your insight.”Self Worth” – I like that! @Maya – This is the first time I recapped previous comments.

Another suggestion is the word self-worth. Self worth refers to self-love, self love etc. Its all about valuing oneself. Why should you not value you? Placing value in your uniqueness should be our starting point. Self nurturing certainly sounds less ‘selfish’ than selfish. Another suggestion is the word self-worth.

Last week I went for a run and a life balance thought popped into my head: me vs them. I started thinking of taking care of me vs taking care of everything and everyone else - family, friends, work, clients, my cats, my home.... there is a LOT more of THEM. I realize "me vs them" is a defensive perspective, but it was a clear way for me to think about it. I'm not convinced we can achieve balance by bringing equal parts into our lives. I think balance has to be about being ok with where you are, what you have, with your choices and the idea that replenishing yourself is an important activity. Maybe finding balance is really about giving yourself a break once in a while to re-energize! Thank you for the link!

I think blogging can exercise a balance between STO and STS. It is evident right here in this comment section. I'm assuming that you are blogging because you enjoy it and it feeds you in some way (STS). And you enjoy reaching out and sharing information to help other people (STO). The same goes for those who leave comments. They are enjoying what they do and they are supporting your blog at the same time.
