Balance is important, without balance you fall over. It's about keeping your balance, preferably in every situation you end up in. That's certainly not easy, sometimes it's acrobatics. Another time, you got to wring in all kinds of turns to keep you standing, to keep your balance. The symbol of the Tao is a beautiful simple and deep visualization of the balance between Yin and Yang.
Emotions go with you all day, disrupting your mental peace and balance. Getting loose is definitely gonna help. See what's there, feel what's there, but stay equal to it, without forcing you.
A balanced life with sufficient variety, rest and effort, work and distraction, pleasure and suffering and healthy and regular eating is highly recommended. Communicating with whatever's around you, in an equal way but certainly not without feeling.
