Hello Followers,

Thank goodness it is Friday,

**Moderation is the lens through which we find balance and contentment.**

Moderation is about choice.

What we choose, or not choose, is key to avoiding unnecessary and undesirable consequences.

It is a proper understanding and balance of our needs.

What does living moderately look like in practice?

When facing something that is not optimal for health, take the smallest dose of it you can, given the circumstances.

Presented with a box of Oreos, eat one or two.

Take a scoop of ice cream, not a full bowl.

Have one drink, not six.

Moderation does not mean easy!

Push yourself in your workouts, which is the only way to see change, but not so hard as you are out of the game the next day.

Acknowledge your big dreams and goals and then take small steps every day to get there.

If you start out too hot, you could flame out.

Better to take it day-by-day and build in intensity.

Celebrate small wins.

Over time, those are what add up to big achievements.

Do not get derailed by bumps in the road.

Moderation means absorbing the jolt but continuing to move forward.

Learning to live moderately is a lifelong project that requires constant adjustment.

Moderate living does not mean you have to stop dreaming big, avoid going on adventures, or give up on your ambition.

It is about recognizing the importance of the small, daily steps that will take you there as you remain healthy and inspired to keep reaching new goals.
