[I]f you punish yourself for trying and failing, you stop wanting to try in the first place, as it becomes associated with the negative emotions. Also, accepting and being okay with the occasional failure makes you treat it as a genuine choice where you have agency, not something that you're forced to do against your will.

So maybe we should celebrate failed attempts more often ... I for one can't think of anything I've failed at recently, which is probably a sign that I'm not trying enough new things.

So, what specific things have you failed at recently?

I've heard that you don't need too much O-3 so long as you don't have a high amount of O-6 in your diet.

Also, there's some evidence that excess O-3 is bad (e.g. enhancing blood supply to tumors).

(though for all I know, you're in the roughly-optimal intake region)
