ABOUT

balanced FLUX is a wa(y)lk of life.

This approach embodies both a way and walk of life, combing mental wellness and personal growth while providing balance and guidance on a journey toward a life that is enriching, harmonious and fulfilling.

The Five MODES are fundamental qualities to adopt and cultivate. These modes help to stay present, maintain positivity, work diligently, interact respectfully, and appreciate life's essentials.

The Five FLAWS represent challenging qualities to overcome or even avoid altogether. Addressing these flaws helps build resilience, take the initiative, respond calmly, focus on solutions, and nurture deeper understanding.

Together, they provide a solid foundation to build The TENets; a comprehensive set of principles which forms the framework to fully elevate mental health and personal productivity by encouraging walking through life boldly with intention and awareness, paving a transformative and enlightening path.

3. But why is it written that way?
