Greetings,
Part of being balanced is getting to know who you really are. Often, there are aspects of our personality that are underdeveloped or that we deny, ignore or even fear. Once we know and accept who we are, we can uncover our true gold and move more quickly toward being more whole, balanced and confident.
Here is an article that discusses how to work through things in a balanced way:

In my mind balance has to do with authenticity. If you know who you are, what you value, what experiences you wish to have and have been able to accept YOURSELF, then you will be on your way to finding balance in your life.
I cannot stress how helpful this has been for me. Moving toward authenticity has provided me with a greater understanding of the aspects of myself that I have ignored or allowed to remain undeveloped. I have also come to accept these traits. Acceptance has led to my actually being able to work on uncovering my natural inherent abilities in these areas. Its a wonderful experience.
I am now much more stable in the sense of being able to whether the ups and downs of life. By striving to be more authentic, I feel myself becoming more confident and balanced. I have an inherent stability that is more present in my life. When tough things do happen, I find I am able to move through the difficulties more easily. This does not mean that I do not feel pain when there are painful situations. On the contrary, I actually feel the pain more deeply. But by allowing it to be there and actually not running away from it, I also move through it more easily and more effectively.
