It's all a matter of balance...

Don't take life too seriously ...

The days we live are intensely challenging, at the most varied levels ...
Very few people right now can say that they are totally fine, without personal, relational, health, professional or monetary difficulties…

The times we are living are really challenging, something necessary to achieve a Greater Good, I believe.

Living challenges and difficulties does not invalidate failing to value all the good we are and have. Something that can be very difficult at certain times.

I often say that “it's all a matter of balance”

I am not very much in favor of radicalisms or even too many rules. Today's life in society is already so rigid that radicalism or too many rules can so aggravate our internal state. Sometimes we need to know how to adapt. Sometimes we need to have "waist play"... Rowing against the tide can be exhausting and frustrating. As someone would say, "If life gives you lemons, make lemonade!" It turns out that many of us insist on wanting natural orange juice when life only gives us lemons! That doesn't mean we'll never taste our wonderful orange juice again… but until then, why not enjoy the lemons?

So many times we get stuck in the event that hurt us, frustrated us, or in some way failed ... we get stuck complaining about it, allowing it to get stuck in our physical and emotional body as well. This is where the so-called “waist play” resides ... How often have you stood complaining about the door that closed without seeing the many windows that opened before you? How many times do you sit on the couch with nothing to do, and instead of savoring this "delicious acute laziness", do you spend your time criticizing and assaulting yourself for just being on the couch? How many times has a mistake in your life led you to another unexpected “right” turn? So many similar questions could be asked…

Focus on your center, without ignoring what is going on outside ...
Meditate and reflect on what you can and cannot change ...
Take your responsibility without taking the whole world behind you ...
Have fun too ... please !!
Sometimes you can forget the rules ... but remember that you need discipline to reach your goals ...
Feed your body well with natural, rich and healthy foods ... but every now and then jus enjoy a big and delicious ice cream !!
Laugh, dance, run ... but if need, stop, sit and cry!! Release…
And then ... Be grateful for all that you have lived, all that you are and have ...
It's all a matter of balance… <3
