18 Soothingly Balanced Images That Will Totally Calm Your Nerves

What brings you calm in your life?

For some, it's a nice warm bath or a good read with a scented candle. For others, it's a nice long jog through the park.

If you're like me, though, nothing brings you calm quite like order. Getting organized and orderly always makes it so much easier to feel like I have control over my life, and breathing becomes easier.

It is true that symmetry in your surroundings helps you restore balance in your own life. There's nothing quite like a couch bookended by two identical end tables with a perfectly centered coffee table set in front of it and a mirror on the wall above.

These 18 pictures of balance and near symmetry will help you get that sense of calm in your own life, even if your home or office isn't quite there yet! Hey, no one is perfect — and I know for sure that my home or life is not as balanced as these awesome photos.

Does surrounding yourself with balance make you feel calm?
