Do you give yourself permission to indulge in something by focusing on its most virtuous quality? Do you have any magic words that give you permission to indulge, like “Buy 1 Get 1 Free,” “All Natural,” “Light,” “Fair Trade,” “Organic,” or “For a Good Cause”? This week, see if you can catch yourself in the act of handing out a halo to something that undermines(暗中破坏) your goals.

Thinking in terms of “right” and “wrong” instead of remembering what we really want will trigger competing impulses and license self-sabotaging behavior.
如果只是按照“正确”和“错误”来判断做过的事,而不是记住我们真正想要的东西,这会引发和目标相抵触的冲动,并允许我们做出一些妨碍自己的行为。
►►Summary
The halo effect exists in our daily life.We often choose to judge others and things by oneself with prejudice.We need to expand our perspective in order to get a comprehensive understanding of all things.
When we turn willpower challenges into measures of moral worth, being good gives us permission to be bad. For better self-control, forget virtue, and focus on goals and values.
Thanks for Everything!
