This yama focuses on using energy wisely... physical energy, mental energy, emotional energy, sexual energy etc.
If we overindulge, we have little energy left for things that we value and are part of a healthy life.
One can overindulge in almost anything... including things we may think are essential or part of a wholesome life. When we practice restraint, we are able to create balance and wholeness.
Some examples of things we might indulge in are: working, shopping, watching TV, sleeping, exercising, eating, using the computer, talking and answering cell phones and so on. We can become addicted to almost anything... It might be helpful to examine your routines and rituals to see if there is anything that deserves some restraint.
