balance in my actions vs balance in my emotions and thinking
I find the program gives me a balance in my mind,which helps with a balance in my actions

I did a google search for some reason ...from 164andmore...

This tends to clear away morbidity and encourage balance.

... balance. 12&12 p.92, Step Ten
Although these attitudes are common enough, we A.A.'s find we need something much better in order to keep our balance.

... balance. 12&12 p.102, Step Eleven
One of its first fruits is emotional balance.

4.
... balance. 12&12 p.121, Step Twelve
This all meant, of course, that we were still far off balance.

5.
... balance. 12&12 p.142, Tradition Three
So went the discussion while the newcomer's fate hung in the balance.

6.
... balance, and live to good purpose under ... 12&12 p.88, Step Ten

7.
... balance and tempt us to make mistakes. 12&12 p.91, Step Ten
The quick inventory is aimed at our daily ups and downs, especially those where people or new events throw us off balance and tempt us to make mistakes.

... balance by creating an insatiable appetite for ... 12&12 p.85, Step Nine
This atmosphere of approval and praise is apt to be so exhilarating as to put us off balance by creating an insatiable appetite for more of the same.

9.
... balance, provided we remember, and repeat to ... 12&12 p.103, Step Eleven
If at these points our emotional disturbance happens to be great, we will more surely keep our balance, provided we remember, and repeat to ourselves, a particular prayer or phrase that has appealed to us in our reading or meditation.

10.
... balance sheet, crediting ourselves with things well ... 12&12 p.89, Step Ten
Here we cast up a balance sheet, crediting ourselves with things well done, and chalking up debits where due.

... balance sheet for the day. 12&12 p.93, Step Ten
When evening comes, perhaps just before going to sleep, many of us draw up a balance sheet for the day.


12.
... balance, the religions of mankind had done ... BB p.11, Bill's Story Go to page 11 in the Big Book
I honestly doubted whether, on balance, the religions of mankind had done any good.


I believe the more our minds become balanced,the more our lives and actions become balanced
good topic
