EASY DOES IT

Where is the middle way?  Moderation is very difficult to find at times.  It’s so easy to fall into all or nothing thinking and living.  Today I will notice my language.  How often do I use the words: always, never, everyone, no one, totally, all the time …?   I will be mindful of my judgments: do I listen or make assumptions?  I will pay attention to my behavior: Am I acting impulsively? Overworking? Overeating? Overreacting? Overprotecting?
I choose to search for balance today and to practice self-control.  I will breathe and ground myself knowing that in this moment I can surrender my need to live in the extremes and be present with an open mind and open heart.
