Yin-Yang Bias

About Yin-Yang Bias

Talking about equilibrium and duality in life and by default Yin-Yang occurs in the scenario. The concept describes how seemingly opposite or contrary forces may actually be complementary, interconnected and interdependent in the natural world, and how they give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another.

The same concept of Yin-Yang may act as a bias and affect us while seeking holistic well-being, work-life balance, spiritual awakening. When yin-yang bias affects us, our quest for a balanced life takes a hit.This bias results in the feeling of incompleteness as we are always seeking the missing component of yin-yang to complete the picture.  

Few of the key challenges posed by this bias is  

• to focus on which part of the yin-yang 
• Deciding how much to incorporate (the magnitude)
• Deciding how long to incorporate (the frequency) 

The yin-yang bias could be addressed by  

• Accepting the unpredictable and incomplete nature of life
• Practicing Mindfulness

Y is for YIN-YANG

PERFECTION and BALANCE are 2 things that each one of us is striving for in our life. But the irony is that we are trying to achieve it in a completely non-conducive environment which consist of a world that’s overflowing with information & knowledge; mind that is filled to the brim with chaos and commotion and a body that is all the time busy multi-tasking. We are aiming for the improbable considering the dynamic eco-system we live and operate in. The best way to achieve balance is to seek progression instead of perfection and move forward. The moment we start accepting the duality of everything in life, we will achieve balance in life. This principle of duality is YIN-YANG, a concept/ approach which helps us deal effectively with uncertainties of life - ups and downs, good times and bad times, opportunities and challenges.
