Abstract
A occupational balance program was developed and implemented for college students who were in the midst of a lifestyle change. Changes in occupational balance, quality of life, and performance of occupation were compared before and after the program. The reported case was a female student majoring in occupational therapy who participated in a program consisting of four group seminars with lectures and exercises, individual self-study, and home work. The results showed that the perception of tension, which was vague before the program, became consistent with her own perception and values after the program through the creation of a occupational balance tightrope walker image and the development of specific strategies. It is suggested that the means of adjusting occupational balance and the process of life change are useful for adapting to a constantly changing environment, developing a good environment by oneself, recognizing what one is looking for, and considering which occupation to choose.
