Welcome to Better Balance – A Journey to Thrive

Hello and welcome to this special pre-edition of Better Balance Bulletin. The first official newsletter will arrive on January 1, 2025.

Why Better Balance?

I’m thrilled to have you here as we embark on this shared journey toward better balance, improved focus, and practical solutions for thriving in today’s demanding world.

As someone who has spent years navigating the pressures of work, family, and personal well-being, I know how elusive true balance can feel. I’m a family man, a business owner who has led a company with nearly 30 employees, and have led non-profit organizations with thousands of members. Through these experiences, I’ve faced many challenges—making tough decisions, managing stress, and finding ways to stay resilient. Over time, I’ve learned techniques and strategies that have helped me overcome these hurdles, and I’ll be sharing them here so you can apply them to your own life and work.

What You Can Expect

This newsletter was born out of my passion for finding ways to not just survive, but truly thrive. While I have a deep interest and experience in this field, this is as much a journey for me as it is for you. Together, we’ll explore and experiment with actionable tools, mindfulness techniques, and the latest advancements in technology (yes, including AI!) to help us all live more balanced lives.

Making Technology Work for You

Technology often adds stress to our lives—constant notifications, being always reachable, and the pressure to keep up. But I believe it doesn’t have to be this way. Technology can also be a powerful ally in creating balance when used intentionally. In Better Balance Bulletin, I’ll share ways to make technology work for you, not against you. From AI tools to practical apps, you’ll discover how to harness tech for better focus, productivity, and calm.

That said, this newsletter won’t be all about IT, AI, and apps. It will also include simple exercises and tricks to help you better balance your daily life without relying solely on technology.

Here’s What You’ll Get:

• Weekly Practical Insights: Every week, you’ll receive something actionable that you can take with you—be it a new app, a simple mindfulness hack, or a piece of advice that makes a real difference.

• A Community-Centered Approach: This newsletter is a space for us to learn and grow together. Have an idea, question, or challenge? Hit reply and share it with me. Your input helps shape this journey.

• Focused and Balanced Content: No fluff, no overwhelm. Just clear, concise ideas to help you stay balanced and energized.

Better Balance Bulletin will land in your inbox once a week, bringing you fresh ideas and tools to navigate life with ease.

Next week, I’ll be sharing actionable tips on how to use AI to kickstart your year with clarity and focus. You won’t want to miss it.

In the meantime, if there’s a topic you’d love to see covered or a challenge you’re facing, let me know. I’m here to listen and grow with you.

Thank you for joining me on this journey. Let’s find better balance—together.

Stay balanced,
D.H. Eriksson
