Extra MEDIUM – THE dilemma.

Extra Medium is such a sweet spot…. In my mind, it is that spot where you let go, you let loose, you let your emotions run your world and just give in to the pleasure. That is what I call Extra Medium. I saw a t-shirt the Summer of 2021 that said just that – Extra Medium. It was like someone had defined water for me! I was so excited. I wanted to own that t-shirt. I think I found the word combination so profound in my own head.

When you let go and you indulge… that is Extra Medium. When your shirt fits a bit tight, your jeans don’t button quite the same, your life is not as “organized”, that is Extra Medium. To me, that is such a sweet spot! Quite the retreat, the privilege, the freedom I allow myself to fully let go and be silly… indulge, over - do it, under - care. The very sweet “f*** it” moments in life – as a mature person- that happen and are fully enjoyed. What I call “adulting without responsibilities”; the vacation mindset. 

All that said, and here is the challenge. When you live in that “Extra Medium” lifestyle 24/7, things truly go downhill. What is Extra Medium, becomes Large and before you know it XXL. That… is not so cool. Then you lose yourself. You lose hope, you lose purpose, you lose energy and vitality, and you lose motive. And that …. Is not so “freeing”. So … my point here is… allow some Extra Medium in your life! But for your own benefit, don’t lose home… don’t let go of where “medium” is… come back to it and honor it. Fight for it. Establish good habits and make them your home base. If you have a strong home base, you will be compelled to come back to it. 

Surround yourself with friends that will motivate you to let your spirit go free and also support the “coming home” process.

Our body. Our “soul’s vessel”. We only get one! Honor it. Have fun with it. Let it be Extra, but keep it tight so you can dance forever.
