The Pitta Mind

Hello, firecracker.

Are you a quick-witted, problem-solver with a tendency towards perfectionism?

Are you super high-functioning and driven, and love to check things off your to-do list?

Do you hold others (and yourself) to very high standards, and often get irritable or frustrated when they don't deliver as you think they should?

If so you might have a Pitta mind.

Pitta embodies the fire and water elements in Ayurveda. Those manifest in certain positive mental traits when in balance, and unwanted symptoms when out of balance.

in balance pitta is:

• Focused, sharp, and discerning

• Intellectual, ambitious, and accomplished

• Determined and persevering

• Adept at problem-solving

• Concise, articulate speech

Out of balance, pitta becomes:

• Overly-analytical

• Judgmental, frustrated or critical of self or others

• Perfectionistic

• Jealous

• Competitive

life events and behaviors that can throw pitta out of balance include:

• STRESS: Over-work, over-exertion, or “burning your candle at both ends”

• Constantly critiquing or comparing oneself to others

• Times of high-demand or extra stress at work

• Competitive sports

• Hot weather, excess direct sunlight

• Excess caffeine or alcohol

natural strategies to restore balance for pitta include:

• Grounding, nourishing, and cooling the body

• Reducing inflammation in the tissues, organs, and digestive tract

• Creating ease, flow, and contentment
