When you have practiced moderation
you have found yourself balanced,
recognizing which indulgences
(these may be interactions,
habits or situations)
increase your wellness
and those which bowl you over.
With this awareness
it has become increasingly clear
how best to move beyond
the ones which no longer
benefit you in any way.
Relinquishing those specifics
help you rise above your traumas
as you commit yourself
to that which you are ready
to fully invest.
Doing so creates a balance
which heals you.
As you heal yourself
in these ways
you’ll find others you care for
are nourished too.
