The Pillars

The pillars from Hellenic Polytheism that I've hung on to, although I'm no long of that religion. 

  • Arete - Be your best self, in body, mind, and spirit.
  • Metriotes - Everything in moderation.
  • Hagneia - Avoiding miasma, whether involving oneself or startin drama.
  • Sophia - The pursuit of knowledge and understanding.
  • Sophrosune - Self Discipline.
  • Xenia - Hospitality.
  • Eusebia - Revere the Gods, and be loyal.
Pillars that have been an important motivator on my quest to get healthier.  I need structure and drive.  I need anchors and reasons...and doing it for me isn't always enough.  Doing something for my kids, my love, and my Gods all helped me to see my worth and eventually add myself into the mix.  

These are the pillars that I try to follow everyday to the best of my ability.
