LIFESTYLE MODERATION KEY TO LIFE ENHANCEMENT

Our lifestyles need continuous monitoring and moderation wherever, whenever required;

Reduction in our intense lifestyles is key to life enhancement;

Be it in our intakes, indulgences and intensity – everything contributes,

In its own way, towards how our life progresses ultimately.

It isn’t for others to tell us what to do;

Rather, we are the best judges of whatever we do;

On a daily basis, that becomes a pattern of life.

Reviewing ourselves and our own activities shows us the mirror;

Lets us decide where we want to go from now,

What we need to do in future and achieve what?

Free-will is our birthright; indeed we act on our own!

Something stirs us inside, beckoning us to listen – follow it;

For, it’s none other than the divine-will prevailing upon us.

Following its light, makes our life simpler, easier and euphoric.

Monitoring our own lives, we can reduce and moderate further,

Easing strangle of daily chores into forms of celebrating life,

Removing the stress and tension that torments us throughout life,

By simply offloading everything on the divine shoulders pervading us;

Freeing us to do what needs to be done cheerfully -

Liking ourselves, liking what we do, liking and loving life;

Life Enhancement is all about how much we love ourselves.
