medically confirmed rager.

so my ayurvedic doctor diagnosed me as a "pitta" constitution. i cant really explain in detail what that means but it sums up what kind of body type i have and how to deal with it correctly - in every aspect... even personality wise. i was curious on why he kept taking my pulse and telling me to "stop being so angry". im not always angry! but every day he took my pulse and every day he would tell me to calm down.

so i finally looked up the "pitta" person and heres what i found:

Positive
Pitta people have sharp mind and superior memory hence they boast outstanding learning, understanding and concentrating powers.
These people are orderly, focused, assertive and entrepreneurial by nature.
Pitta people have inborn leadership skills with good comprehension power, focused vision and blessed wisdom. They are usually good public speakers and also capable of sharp, sarcastic, cutting speech. They have a desire to spread their name and fame all over.
They have natural fondness for noble professions and often make large amounts of money.  They like to spend on luxurious items like perfume and jewelry.
Pitta people appreciate material prosperity and they tend to be moderately well off financially. They enjoy exhibiting their wealth and luxurious possessions and like to surround themselves with beautiful objects.

Negative
Pitta person is often stubborn, pushy, prejudiced, and authoritarian.
They have emotional tendencies toward hate, anger and jealousy.
Pitta people become commanding, irritated, angry, aggressive, demanding, assertive when out of balance.
Pitta people usually show extremist behavior and never yield an inch from their principles. They can be judgmental, critical and perfectionist, and tend to become angry easily.
Pitta person is subject to temper tantrums, impatience, and anger.

ok, greeaaaat. so this is innate, a natural tendency for me to be heavy. well, since i've been on the path of enlightenment lately i have decided to really become balanced in my daily activities. just because im a german-irish leo with the strongest body constitution in anger, doesnt mean i have to yield to it! i have to control the raging intensity inside of me and only let it out when an appropriate time arises. "harness my chi" to be cliche about it ;)

baby steps...

tonight i took my first yoga lesson... so i was going to post a picture of a dude doing yoga but instead i found this badass and decided that he might also be a "pitta" person too! and  if i can be as cool as him then the hell with balance ;)
