You: Congrats! You’re largely in charge of your impulses and have a pretty good handle on state chasing, focus and rewards. You have a solid sense of priorities, tend not to get sidetracked by shiny object syndrome, and likely put your time and energy towards the important things that matter most.
Well done––in this day and age, you are in the minority of folks not hijacked and distracted. If anything, you might want to (responsibly) explore loosening up and living a little!
Caution: If you’re like many folks scoring in this range, you may experience a bit of “Type A” self controlling behavior, and/or a bit too much structure and self denial. It can lead to a lack of adventure or novelty, and at its most pronounced, a condition known as orthorexia (like anorexia, but focused on eating, exercising, biohacking etc. exactly perfectly).
Recommendations: So if you find the phrase “Don’t Die Wondering” challenging (or secretly thrilling) consider keeping your impeccable discipline re: low level distractions (phones, social notifications, sugar, binge watching) but deliberately build in some new and intentional ways to seek more novelty, take a few more risks, and live a little larger.
Go hunt your White Whale. Kick off your Bucket List tomorrow. Do something that scares or thrills you. Don’t postpone joy.
(Your day planner will still be there when you get back :)
