"
Moderation - Ata Ngawari "
Moderation
is creating balance in your life between work
and play, rest and exercise.
It is having or doing enough of something-not
too much, not too little, but what’s
just right for you. Moderation is being in charge
of your time and using self discipline to
keep from doing too much or too little.
We
practise Moderation when
we: know
what we need and get enough no more, no less take
care of our health use
self discipline to stop ourselves from overdoing
things balance
work and play in our life are
content with enough
