A new research reveals that Americans crave balance but are unable to achieve it consistently. In fact, 98% say they consider achieving and maintaing balance to be important but only 14% say they lead a balanced life. I guess I’m in good company. Balance Bar Company, the makers of Balance Bar balanced energy nutrition bars wants to help increase that number and have just launched The Balance Project, a multi-year, multi-platform program to aid in improving America’s levels of balance.
There’s a lot of talk between adults about juggling life but not a great place to share how we are actually finding balance. The Balance Project is an online hub to share ideas, celebrate victories and talk about challenges in our journey to find and keep balance in our daily lives.
Erin Lifeso, Senior Director of Marketing for Balance Bar: “It all adds up to making sure the family time, friend time, work time and play time are all equally good times. It’s a goal many of us share (and one where perfection is not a requirement), and though our destinations look different we can share the daily journey in getting there.”
Most Americans priorities for balance include keeping finances in order, and through activities that improve health (getting enough sleep, exercising and eating healthy foods),
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. They couldn’t have picked a better role model! I can completely relate to her as a wife and mom of three. She says, “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. 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.”
It may seem very difficult but it’s possible for anyone to achieve balance. The first step is to make it a priority. They say mother’s work is never done, but at least she knows where to focus her attention. Nearly every mom agrees that health and family and personal relationships are important to achieving balance in life.
Want that Zen state of balance? For starters, get outside. Enjoying nature and taking vacations are the top actions that have a significant impact on achieving balance for moms. Spending time with your significant other is the next most impactful way for moms to try and achieve balance.

I love Balance Bars — they taste great and offer a boost of protein for energy. I like to keep them handy because sometimes I get too busy to stop and have a meal and these are the perfect pick me up! There are lots of different flavors and varieties and I honestly haven’t found one that I don’t like.
