It is when we are bored or just need something new.\u00a0 With this awareness comes the power to change. It is when we next feel that emotion that we can stop going over board.<\/p>\n<p>2.\u00a0 Un-doing something needs to start with a baby step.\u00a0 It can be just knowing that we can have a slice of pie, but not the whole pie. We can order one new blouse online, but not every color.\u00a0 We don&#8217;t have to be on every committee on the PTA, just one what we are really strong.\u00a0 Paring down and establishing a minimum are ways to move away from over the top.<\/p>\n<p>3.\u00a0 Creating loving accountability can help us reign in our over the moon behaviours.\u00a0\u00a0 Loving accountability is trusting someone to help you stay on track.\u00a0 It is sharing what your goal is, then having that trusted someone be there for you.<\/p>\n<p>4.\u00a0 Know what is enough by setting good limits and boundaries for yourself.\u00a0\u00a0 Is enough a number? Like a budget? Is it a feeling? Like being full after dinner? Is it an emotion? Like satisfaction?\u00a0 Start learning what your &#8220;enough&#8221; is so that you can put it into practice.<\/p>\n<p>Do you know what &#8220;enough&#8221; is for you?
