Vata people in balance are curious by nature, love new ideas, big visionaries, see out the box solutions. They like new and freshness. Perfectionists by nature, they have trouble trusting others to get stuff done. Difficulty to delegate. They easily forget and need to write stuff down immediately. Out of balance (also called imbalanced) they feel easily overwhelmed, anxious, fearful and filled with anxiety. Their default is to be overwhelmed and have too much coming at them. They have difficulty completing stuff, feel disorganized, challenged prioritizing activities/projects and get easily distracted. They suffer from “squirrel syndrome” by being attracted to too many ideas. Vatas have a hard time holding onto money.
