The ideas that apply to yourself are especially applicable. In regards to stress, I frequently went to relax after school by doing personal projects like a website. After hearing that stress was like a pressure, I assumed I had to set aside time to "destress." I played games instead and felt fine for it, but if I really regret stopping what I was doing.

I think that a view not represented enough about our "rational brain" and our "intuitive brain" is that rational thinking can only rarely lead to useful information in a reasonable time. Determining causation using the scientific method is more robust, but is a massive effort that usually can't be carried out by individuals. Perhaps we would benefit from being able to control the extent of our intuition on the decisions we make, but there's a reason why we specialize and only deeply think about specific areas.
