Friend, you know how to go with the flow. No matter the circumstance, you make the most of it by surrendering. You trust your creative intuition to take you in the right direction. Friends and family look up to you for your accepting attitude – there's a place in the world for everyone, am I right?So what's your hold up? Sometimes your thoughts move so quickly you might have trouble keeping up. You want to do a little bit of everything then become overwhelmed. Try grounding down by meditating in the morning or practicing gentle hatha yoga.Bring Yourself into Balance with These Three Tips...1) Practice Saying "No"Like any other skill, saying 'no' can be difficult at first. You may feel that you owe your time and energy to others – even those who leave you feeling drained as a swimming pool in September. If you're in need of a little extra TLC, try cutting out all those activities that aren't 100% necessary. A part of you might want to help your cousin pack up her possessions and move across the city, but if doing so is going to take an emotional or physical toll on you, kindly decline. You owe that to yourself, friend!2) Cut Out the ToxinsAnd I'm not just talking about processed food and chemical-laden cleaning products. Think bigger! Set aside some quiet time to reflect on the relationships in your life that might be weighing you down. Maybe your current friend group has been acting a bit more snarky than usual – whenever you hangout, you feel yourself mentally leaning away from their influence. In situation like that, it might be time to take a step back and meet some more positive, optimistic peeps. I promise they're out there!3) Listen to Your BodyMaybe you've heard this tip more times than you can count, but have you ever made a point of actually acting on it? Of tuning into your body's needs, so you can make healthy lifestyle changes? It's so easy to take our physical well-being for granted. And unless something is going wrong in a really obvious way, you might be tempted to ignore it. Instead of waiting for a crisis to strike, do what you can to get enough sleep, eat clean, and move your body.Wait Up a Sec – Let Me Introduce MyselfHey, friend 👋 My name's Varsha!

Friend, you're deeply grounded – once you spread your roots, you're hard to move. You value consistency and slow, persistent progress. You know that small steps forward are just as valuable as a short-lived sprint. On top of that, you're an unfailingly loyal friend. You never leave loved ones behind.So what's your hold up? Sometimes you're a little too stable. You tend to get stuck in routines even if they no longer serve you. You may also avoid physical activity – you prefer to sit back and watch circumstances unfold. Try introducing exercise into your lifestyle with a gentle yoga class.Bring Yourself into Balance with These Three Tips...1) Practice Saying "No"Like any other skill, saying 'no' can be difficult at first.
