Finding the Happy Medium

12/30/2012

Today I spent some quality time with a good friend. As we shared some good laughs and experiences she said something that caught my attention. She said she had recently put herself through some "extremes". This was one thing I could say, with certainty, that I had also put myself through... which, in a nutshell, comes from setting up our expectations too high and then beating ourselves up if we fall short of those expectations. In fact I had done this so many times in my "previous" life that I ended up with severe panic attacks that eventually led to phobias! Now there is no way I can really know what she really put herself through but I could sense that she had "had it", as I heard her exclaim "No more extremes!" 

Of course, as good friends, we talked about so many other topics but I couldn't help but think about this "extreme" comment on my drive home. I suppose it's because I have "healed" myself from those panic attacks and phobias, that I can see this situation much more clearly now. Honestly, my personal experience has shown me that we have just got to find our own personal rhythm when it comes to achieving; our own flow ... and strive for some sense of balance. You know... the "the happy medium" literally. Find. A. Way (a medium). "Quitting" something is still an extreme. To NOT make a plan is still a decision to not make a plan. We all have a strategy to everything we do, whether it's a strategy to "being good" at something, a strategy to being healthy, a strategy to being and staying sick and a strategy to how we work. Isn't there a saying that says that "how someone does one thing, is usually how they do everything"? I believe we can become aware of our unconscious strategies and use them to our advantage. Then I came home to turn on facebook and I saw this quote...
