We, as humans, work on many things in our lives. But truthfully, working on ourselves is the greatest thing we’ll ever do. “You are the greatest project you will ever work on.” 

Everyone experiences times when demands are high and energy is low. Pushing harder does not make life easier. Fighting against the current of life just depletes our energy.

This reminds me of Brahmacharya, one of the Yamas, the five gems of wisdom that guide us to live a fulfilling life. Brahmacharya is all about moderation, conserving energy, and not doing things in excess. To me, this means finding a balance between effort and ease. 

It is okay to pause, to be still, and to listen. It is okay to slow down and take time for yourself. Living in moderation means giving yourself the time you need to rest, restore, and renew.

Remember that there is a natural flow to all things. Find that flow and row your boat downstream, with the current of life.

Namaste.
