THE COST OF INTENSITY

"Don't underestimate the value of doing nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering."
~ AA Milne (Winnie the Pooh) ~

My personality tends naturally towards intensity and effort, and with very little cause, I can tip myself over the edge of balance and moderation and end up over-doing my life. I try for more control than I have, bigger goals than I need, and super-human results in all things. And then I experience burn out and aching muscles and exhaustion in my spirit and my bones.
     It's possible for me to live happily in balance, though it does require daily attention and care.

I go easy and enjoy my life.
