Pitta type

What works best for pitta types is flexibility in routine, with plenty of built-in downtime. Pitta people also need to make sure theyVe scheduled activities or periods when their focus is on being thoughtful and attentive to others, to get them out of a focus on themselves. 

Refreshing breaks for pitta types include taking a cool shower or bath, eating a light snack of yogurt or fresh fruit, and drinking some cool water or juice. 

By the way, I myself am a combination type, both vata/Air and pitta/Fire. When Pm living a life of balance, I enjoy many of the good qualities of both types. When I get stressed or out of balance, I tend to fall into the problematic patterns of both. 

The first step, I told Jeff, is to understand what can throw vata energies off balance. There were two ways to look at vata disturbances. One is to remember that all of us possess all three types of energy— vata, pitta, and kapha—and that our vata systems are the most prone to imbalance. Just as air is less stable than fire or earth, so are vata energies more easily disturbed than pitta or kapha energies. 

Interestingly, the instability of vata energies in Ayurveda corresponds with the Western scientific notion that a serotonin deficiency is the most common problem associated with depression. Just as vata energies can become unbalanced even in pitta and kapha types, so can serotonin become deficient even in people with other types of brain chemical imbalances, such as norepinephrine/dopamine excess or deficiency. So when people have either vata imbalances or serotonin deficiencies, I usually try to treat those first, no matter what other problems they re experiencing.

Laugh a lot. For you Fire types, or for other types whose pitta energies are out of balance, laughter truly is the best medicine. Seek out sources of humor, such as comics, humorous books, funny friends, or comedians. 

One of the key themes for many Fire types is acceptance of others. I often feel that the difficulty many Fire types have with this concept is rooted in their fear that they won t achieve their own ambitions. When this fear gets out of control, the Fire rages and the pitta person can become self-centered, even aggressive. In fact. Fire types can become so intensely driven and self-focused that they scarcely notice that others exist. Ironically, they may be the happiest of all when they manage to...
