Overindulgence

Sanskrit Name:
Avirati
Devanagari:
अविरति

Short Summary

Too much input, too many treats; cravings run the schedule, not you.

Full Description

Avirati is over-attachment to sense pleasures—scrolls, snacks, splurges. The result:     scattered focus and a tired nervous system.

Try this: add one pause before indulging. Ask, “Will this nourish or numb?”

Remedy: Contentment. Practice santosha by remembering the deeper joy already present beyond fleeting desires.
