Louise, I love that you call it The Slide, but you’ll see later on in the course that I’ve got a different take on it.
In some circumstances it can be helpful to make this kind of “all-or-none” choice – but when applied universally you get rigidity and abstinence – and that’s tough to live with.
So I recommend finding a path between the two (and think that might make sense later in the course).
