Today, we're taking exception with a couple ideas you often see passed around in the health and wellness space: that balance is achievable (or even desirable), and that obsession is unhealthy. To be truly excellent in a pursuit, it's going to require a level of hyper fixation or single-mindedness that is often maligned, and that will draw energy from other areas in your life. The key is to build systems into your life that keep your constructive or productive obsession from becoming destructive. We discuss the tools you need to do just that. You'll learn about the importance of separating effort from external validation, establishing daily or weekly non-negotiable activities and support systems to prevent burnout, employing the 48-hour rule after success and failures, and understanding the difference between dynamic and static balance.
