Planning for Indulgence

The concept of intentionally planning for behaviors typically deemed 'bad' is highlighted, suggesting that individuals should schedule moments for indulgence instead of suppressing them. For example, when trying to eat healthier, one could plan specific days to enjoy less nutritious food without guilt. This approach helps in recognizing the patterns of behavior that lead to feelings of guilt and shame, thus fostering a healthier relationship with oneself. By allowing designated times for these indulgences, individuals can gain control over their cravings and significantly reduce feelings of overwhelm related to self-discipline.
