Grateful living is possible only when we realize that other people and agents do things for us that we cannot do for ourselves. Gratitude emerges from two stages of information processing – affirmation and recognition.
The Little Book of Gratitude
Robert Emmons
Anxiety, depression, and burnout, among other issues, can result from your inability to set healthy expectations with yourself and others. Your body and mind know when you’ve had too much. Unfortunately, it’s common for people to fight against the signs that limitations are needed. We can’t do it all, and we shouldn’t try. We can’t be everything to everyone, and we shouldn’t try. We can’t please everyone, and we shouldn’t try.
The Set Boundaries Workbook
Nedra Glover Tawwab
Self-control is a short-term strategy, not a long-term one. You may be able to resist temptation once or twice, but it’s unlikely you can muster the willpower to override your desires every time. Instead of summoning a new dose of willpower whenever you want to do the right thing, your energy would be better spent optimizing your environment. This is the secret to self-control. Make the cues of your good habits obvious and the cues of your bad habits invisible.
