Everything in Moderation

Heeey people! Been a while since I've done a personal post and I thought today I would talk about the concept of moderating everything we do, whether it be work/love/food life! These days, we find it extremely hard to maintain a balance, especially in terms of eating the right foods, keeping our work and social life in place and spending equal amounts of time with our lovers. When it comes to food, most are extremely self conscious with their body image and are constantly trying to create the "perfect body". We replace snacking with salads and watching movies with constant exercise. Sure, these tactics are a great way to keep in shape and keep healthy, however there needs to be a balance between the two categories of eating what you want and eating what you should eat. For example, a bit of dessert won't hurt now and again and if you miss that run in the morning, don't kill yourself, you can always make up for it another time. 

In relation to work life vs social life, it is a very tricky game to play. On one hand, you know you should be working on that very important assignment due soon but your friends are pressuring you to go out and have some fun. What's the solution? Moderation! It may seem impossible, but there is a way to maintain the balance between working hard and blowing off some steam so to speak. It is extremely important not to constantly work too hard otherwise you will become stressed and burn out extremely quickly. On the other hand, if you constantly go out and socialise with friends, you will become lazy and nothing will get done in terms of work. Keeping a balance between the two will not only benefit you, but will help in the long run when you finally go to University or apply for a job. 

Finally, when discussing the dynamics of a love life, it is important to balance out the effort each person in the relationship puts in and also the amount of time spent with each other. It is not fair or beneficial for one of the people involved to constantly organise the dates, call/text the other person or maintain conversation. There needs to be an equal amount of effort put in on both sides. Also, an equal amount of time should be spent with each person without it becoming too much or too little. You don't want to seem clingy or neglectful in the relationship, balancing out the time spent with one another will maintain a healthy and happy relationship.  

In the end, everything in life needs balance or moderation in order to enjoy what we have to the fullest and not have any regrets later on.
