Bhagavad Gita 6.16-17

Yoga is not for one who eats too much, nor for one who eats too little; nor for one who sleeps too much, nor too little.

Theme: Decision Making

"Yoga is not for one who eats too much, nor for one who eats too little; nor for one who sleeps too much, nor too little. For one who is moderate in eating, recreation, work, sleep, and waking, yoga becomes the destroyer of sorrow."

Modern explanation

When the day pushes against you, remember: Most decisions are made by your body before your mind notices. Tend the body and many choices grow clearer.

Practical application

Flip a coin — not to decide, but to notice which result you secretly hoped for. That hope is data.

Reflection question

Which choice would I respect myself for, regardless of outcome?
