After a rock has been thrown into a pool of water the waves are immediately big to compensate for the object breaking the stillness of the surface.
Slowly the waves become smaller from the impact and soon settle back to its new normal. The water will alway find its balance.

Start with what you know.
You know what you have to do.

Ways To Help You Find Balance
Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
Get fresh air. Stand in front of an open window for a few moments or minutes with your eyes closed, concentrating only on the air filling your lunges and reviving your cells.
Eat right. Make sure you get plenty of nutrients throughout the day and eat sugars only as a treat.
Make a schedule and stick to it as best you can.
Move your body. Make sure to keep moving throughout the day. Walk around your house for a few minutes. Add some push ups, sit ups, squats, and lunges. Do this multiple times a day, and add it to your schedule.
It may be hard to find a new balance today, but keep working at it. Stay resilient, focus on what you can control and what is actually important in each moment.
