Why Balance is My Word of the Year (And How It Makes Me a Better Planner)

Why Balance is My Word of the Year (And How It Makes Me a Better Planner)

January 2026

The start of a new year always brings the opportunity for reflection and intention. This year, my focus isn't on resolutions or huge sweeping changes; it’s on a single, powerful word: Balance.

For many of us, especially those running our own businesses, the lines between professional dedication and personal well-being blur completely. This year, I'm committed to finding that sweet spot—the place where focused effort and restorative rest meet—because I firmly believe that a balanced planner is a better planner.

Balance in My Business: Dedication to My Couples

My commitment to "Balance" starts right here, with Camellio Wedding & Event Planning. By focusing on balance, I ensure I give dedicated attention to every aspect of my work:

  • Meticulous Planning: Balance means scheduling focused, uninterrupted time for intricate logistics, design concepts, and vendor management. I avoid rushing or letting details slip, ensuring every couple receives the meticulous attention they deserve.
  • Dedicated Support: I choose to work with a select number of couples each year precisely because I prioritize balance. This approach ensures that when I’m working on your wedding, I’m fully present and energized, giving you complete dedication and support—not a frazzled half-attention.
  • Business Growth: Balance also means setting aside strategic time to grow and refine my business, ensuring Camellio Wedding & Event Planning continues to be efficient, innovative, and positioned to offer the best service in Essex and beyond.

My professional goal this year is to be happier and more focused in my work, which translates directly into a more seamless and joyful experience for you.

Balance in My Life: Fuelling the Fire

The most challenging area for any business owner is the personal sphere. The constant push to "do more"—whether it’s running a business, managing a household, or handling the never-ending list of everyday tasks—can lead to burnout.

This year, finding personal balance means consciously creating space for joy and rest:

  • Prioritizing Family: Dedicating focused, uninterrupted time with my family, playing with my children, and creating memories—not just ticking off chores. I'm focusing on being present, not just physically available.
  • Stepping Away: Ensuring I’m not always working. This means setting clear boundaries between work time and personal time. When the computer closes, I'm switching off the mental checklist of house projects and emails.
  • Refuelling Connection: Making time for the things that restore me, whether it’s visiting friends, enjoying a good book, or simply having a quiet moment with a cup of coffee!

The Power of Equilibrium

Why does this matter to you?

When my life is in balance, I approach every task—from finalizing a floor plan to solving a last-minute vendor issue—with greater calm, clarity, and creativity. A rested mind is an innovative mind.

This commitment to personal and professional equilibrium ensures I can consistently deliver the peace of mind you hire me for. I am confident that by embracing "Balance" this year, I will be able to do everything better and guide you through your planning journey with the highest possible level of attention and joyful energy.
