To Beast, Or Not To Beast…

We humans love extremes.  So many pieces of our day are brought into the realm of EXTREME.  The hours that we work, the sleep that we get or do not get, our workouts, diets, opinions and even hydration!  These beasts seem to be living and gasping for air all around us.  Passionate inspiration and strong goals are wonderful fountains to draw energy from and with that, when is too much, too much?  How do we know when balance is needed again, or else?  Is the extreme, the ‘beasting it’, the exhaustion worth it?  I suppose there’s one question that can answer this:

How’s it going for you?  Is your body happy and can it calm and quiet?  Is your mind happily fed and also able to find peace regularly?  Are you able to look in the mirror and love your body just as it is?  Are you confident enough in your work to be able to say ‘No’ when you need to?

How is ‘beasting it’ going for you?  Are you strong from the fountain of energy or are you cracking under it’s pressure?

Your body knows.  Your mind knows.  Your heart knows.
