Practice detachment to handle life's ebb and flow

It can be challenging, keeping your energy steady through the ebb and flow of life. When I am in a quiet ebb phase, I get bored and want excitement, adventure (usually an overseas trip). When I'm in flow, if I don't pace myself I feel stressed and overwhelmed.

Detachment is the answer. We need to step back, and see ebb and flow as the natural life cycle. Learn to drift through calm waters, appreciating the peace - then hold on tight for the thrill of the rapids. Each lifetime is a very short ride, so do enjoy both the ebb and flow.
