Get serious. Bring everything down to a modest level, your thoughts about yourself, your needs, your desires, your habits and excesses. Moderation is key to living a good life on all levels of experience, mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. Too much of anything can set a tenuous situation off balance, and even a modest imbalance can create chaos. Know yourself on all levels so that you can also know what balance means for you. Everyone is different, so what is good for one person may not be good for you. Get serious about your health and your happiness. Without them balance is a mere figment of the imagination.

Suspend judgment and wait for your heart to speak to you rather than get angry or regretful. Let the body, mind and spirit relax into the day that is to come with solid knowing that everything is as it should be for this moment. Pace yourself so that your energy may be used in productive ways and allow for times of rest and rejuvenation along with measured activity. Do not overdo but live the day modestly in all areas of life.

Sending you love,

It is often said that the key to perfect health is moderation in everything. Life however does not practice moderation. It is full of ups and downs, high points and low points and many extremes. The human mind however can do anything. A thought can shift and change even a most dire situation into one of calmness. It was a human thought that decided that moderation was key to human health and wellbeing. The ability to think and reason is purely human and part of the evolution of the species. Seek moderation in everything and see how it effects you. That’s the other half of thought—experience. It is the human experience that teaches as much as thought does.

Strive for balance in mind, body and spirit, allowing each to have its part but none too much. Moderation in all habits of mind, body and spirit will allow balance to be achieved. When any aspect is overdone or neglected the whole suffers. It’s a pretty simple concept to grasp but obviously a difficult task to achieve. That is why it can be the work of an entire lifetime, and a worthy endeavor indeed!

Strive always to maintain a certain kind of balance. Make choices that keep you in a good frame of mind, in good physical shape, and that are spiritually nurturing. Do not be overcome by anything but seek always a measure of calmness so that emotions are handled as they arise. Sometimes excess is appropriate but on a daily basis modesty and moderation are most appropriate in all things.
