This balance best promotes psychological well-being, as it accommodates for life’s unpredictabilities and the natural human need for occasional indulgence. In contrast, extreme self-control can lead to stress, burnout, and a diminished capacity to enjoy life’s pleasures. Life (and work) then may best be approached as a balancing act between rational long-term self-management, but without being so strict or tough on yourself. - https://www.fastcompany.com[..]an-help-you-succeed-according-to-science A growth mindset is great, right?
