The Balanced Mind-"Policy of Permissiveness"

Loading player...
In navigation, the 1-in-60 Rule states that for every 60km flown, a 1-degree error puts you 1km off course. In life, we call this the Liberal Effect.

In the latest episode of The Balanced Mind, counsellor Deon Bicycle discusses the "Policy of Permissiveness"—the small excuses we give ourselves that compound into a "foreshortened future." From the 100-calorie deviation that fuels chronic disease to the "Context Switching" that kills productivity, we explore how to perform a 1-degree correction to save your trajectory.

If you feel you’ve drifted off-course, there is a path back to wholeness.
