find balance
Reach steady state
Find balance is to reach a state of equilibrium between competing demands—work and rest, discipline and indulgence, self and others.
The phrase often appears in wellness contexts: I'm trying to find balance between my career and family life.
It can sound like self-help cliché, but the underlying idea is ancient: moderation as a path to wellbeing.
