Sensitivity and balance

Being highly sensitive may lead to mood imbalances. Also, while following yoga or any spiritual discipline, it is important to be balanced. One has to be gentle but yet firm when one takes the baby steps. Stagnating at one point for long leads to difficulty in continuing further on the journey after the stop. If one goes too fast, then one can get burnt out leading to forced relaxation and the necessity of attending to the burns. But trying to go at the correct pace and do everything right in yoga or spirituality can in itself lead to analysis paralysis where one starts to think too much on what to do and what not to do leading to indecisiveness, immobilization and uneasiness. So, one also has to rely on some sort of rules of thumb or heuristics which need not be some big idea in spirituality or science but simple common sense or intuition gained from a past childhood that's buried deep in the sub-conscious. There are a few uneducated laymen and common folks who even do better in life than the doctorates and disciples. Though their challenges are greater and their path is more painful, they also manage to live a decently good life and reach the destination.
