Episode Synopsis

Have you ever been on a diet, eaten really healthy for breakfast and lunch plus worked out in the morning, so you reward yourself for “being good” by having a big piece of cake with dinner? Or maybe you accomplished more than expected on a project at work in the morning, so you decide that you “deserve” to "take it easy” in the afternoon. Sound familiar? This kind of behavior is what’s known as moral licensing and I am going to show you how you do it and how to stop.
