Have you ever noticed how chasing that last bit of effort often leaves you more drained than accomplished? The Japanese principle of Hara Hachi Bu — traditionally about eating until you’re 80% full — offers a refreshing perspective not just for the dinner table, but for how we approach our work and daily lives. By learning when to pause, you create margin for energy, creativity, and focus instead of burning out in the endless pursuit of “more.”
In this encore episode, we explore how stopping at “enough” can actually unlock greater consistency, balance, and satisfaction in your day. You’ll learn how to set realistic boundaries, prioritize with intention, and leave space for both recovery and spontaneity.
Life insurance is never cheaper than it is today. Get the right life insurance for YOU, for LESS, and save more than fifty percent at selectquote.com/tps.
