English term or phrase: strike a balance

I know what it means; however, expressing it in Vietnamese is rather hard. The whole context is :'I have to strike a balance - remove the essentials while leaving behind the impression that I was caught unaware'. Thank you for your help.

tìm / tạo điểm trung dung

Explanation:
"striking a balance" is more like "finding the middle ground", walking in between two fine lines (two situations) and not willing to compromise either lines (situations).

"lấy lại cân bằng" or "lấy lại/xốc lại tinh thần"

Explanation:
Câu này có phải là một tâm sự từ một câu chuyện nào đó không vậy?Nếu có thể, tôi dịch trọn câu là: "Tôi phải lấy lại tinh thần-bỏ đi những gì từng gọi là quan trọng và để lại sau lưng những xúc cảm không ngờ đã từng đến với tôi"
