With all the theory I've been learning through self help revenues such as TRP, books, videos, etc. I get to a place where I want to take a break from everything to form my own opinions, but I realize that the knowledge I get from these revenues allows me to rewire my brain which results in greater "achievement" long-term.

Where can a balance be found in this battle of perspective?

I believe a step in the right direction is for me to be for me to be more active while also reading the theory so I can have my own experiences to back what I lived through in words (to some degree; not going to get married to have that experience of illustrating how bad of a deal it is to myself, for example).

How did you find the balance with such conflicting thoughts?
