Balance, Burnout and the Search for Centre | Emily Bremner | TEDxGuelphU

In this short and powerful talk, Emily takes you on her journey toward discovering balance, not as a static state but rather a daily practice. Emily’s early encounters with burnout set the tone, making way for subsequent revelations that remind us what it is to be human. This talk provides a refreshing outlook on what it means to live a balanced life, and why change is sometimes our only constant. Innately curious and undoubtedly contemplative, Emily has always known herself to be an introspective thinker. She seeks inspiration with the hope of provoking thought and conversation. In recent years she has come to know the intimacies and intricacies of her own human experience. Building strong and resilient communities continues to drive Emily as she embarks on a new chapter in Toronto, where she hopes to synthesize her experiences and intrigues into meaningful work. More than anything, Emily is in search of the fabled state of a balanced being and is moving through the world at a contemplative pace. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
