If It Feels Good, Is It Bad For You?
Summary
- Sometimes things that feel good aren't necessarily bad for you. It's all about finding balance.
- Always define what "good" and "bad" mean to you specifically.
- Understand that anything in excess can be harmful. For instance, not going to work or not eating is bad if it happens too often.
- If you do something moderately, like having one treat a week, it likely won't have negative effects.
- Remember, the dose makes the poison. Even too much walking outside can be bad if done excessively.

How To Take Action
I would suggest starting by defining what "good" and "bad" mean for you personally and for your business. Sit down with a notebook and write out what activities, habits, or strategies feel good but may need moderation. This could include things like social media use, indulgence in treats, or even work habits.
A good way of doing this is to evaluate your daily and weekly routines. Identify one or two activities that you do excessively and think about how you can balance them better. For instance, if checking emails takes hours each day, set specific times for this task to ensure productivity without burnout.
Understand that balance is key in everything you do. You might enjoy treats, but if you have them in moderation, like once a week, it won't harm you. Apply the same approach to business activities: if networking feels exhausting, schedule it in smaller, manageable doses.
Remember, the dose makes the poison. Apply this to both your personal and business life. Too much of any activity can be harmful, so find your optimal dose. For example, working long hours might seem productive but can lead to burnout. Schedule breaks to maintain your energy levels and stay efficient.
Lastly, keep a log to track your activities and their impact. This will help you see patterns and adjust the doses accordingly. Set weekly check-ins with yourself to review how balanced your activities are and make necessary adjustments. This systematic approach can help you find a sustainable and healthy balance in both your life and business.
