MILESTONES AND MUSINGS
WORDS: JO BARNARD

H

ow delightful to be writing an article for the 50th issue of International Lifestyle Magazine, and what a fantastic achievement for the editors, Lynn and Julian! Milestones like these often prompt a time of reflection; a chance to take stock of how far we have come, where we are heading, and indeed whether we still want to head in this direction or change course altogether. My summer holiday by the sea provides my time for musing. Are my priorities and objectives still the same? What brings me joy? Am I doing too much? And what do I need to tweak in order to create the right lifestyle for me? Without question, the key to a happy, healthy and fulfilled life is balance. It’s the big one that most of us struggle to find. Without it, our lives are stressful, and this stress can manifest itself in different ways, depending on our individual make-up. An ideal balance for me wouldn’t necessarily be ideal for you. So how do we find the winning formula that can apply to us all?
