-nothing, black-and-white approach. For example today I will do some exercise rather than my full two hour workout. I will cut up some chicken and vegetables in preparation for making soup tomorrow rather than exhausting myself by making the soup all at once. Similarly, I will do some garden work rather than exhausting myself and doing more. I will also do some resting and meditating (balance) while if I did not take that time I could certainly get more done (unbalanced).
