Do you remember the story of Goldilocks and the 3 Bears? It's
quite a simple story and as an adult only takes minutes to read.
Can Goldilocks help you get ready to do anything? She sure can!
>From the story, what most of us remember is the repeated theme
of 'too hot, too cold, just right', 'too hard, too soft, just
right'. How did Goldilocks actually know which was which? When I
was reading this story to my little cousin, this thought
sprouted in my mind - how did she know which was 'just right'
for her?
The thing is... she 'just' knew. That's the message for all of
us: we all 'just' know what's 'just right' for us and where our
personal balance lies. It's simply just a matter of trusting
ourselves. The messages may seem inconsistent, but they are
always almost appropriate for where we are in the moment.
What's going on right now? Is it too much? Is it too little?
Listen within for the answer. It's there and you can trust it.
This principle is known to me as the "Goldilocks Principle" and
it's a great tool to use. What is 'just right' for me, right
now?
So often, as we move through life, when we decide to institute
some new action or behavior, in order to move out of the 'status
quo' we find it necessary to move from one extreme to another.

Although we intuitively know what is 'just right' for us, we do
use clues and they are from the extremes. Too hot, too cold. Too
little, too much. Too hard, too soft. Too black, too white. We
know when something is "too" anything for us. The important
trick is to remember to ask:
What is 'just right' for me, right now?
