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

In a moment of stillness, receive this: Most decisions are made by your body before your mind notices. Tend the body and many choices grow clearer.

Practical application

Take ten minutes of full silence. Often the answer was waiting for room to speak.

Reflection question

What is the choice I keep avoiding making — and what would it free up if I made it?
