Moderation

While it may not necessarily come easily, people high in moderation have the ability to resist temptations and control their urges. These individuals have a high tolerance for frustration and are able to postpone their immediate desires for a greater reward later on.

However, impulsiveness and moderation can be domain specific. That is, you might be able to moderate how much food you eat but struggle with resisting a fun time. Nevertheless, high scorers are generally better adept at resisting temptation in many arenas.

Often, their self agency can become a source of confidence and resilience. In tough times they are able to resist the destructive coping mechanisms and quick fixes, and instead make difficult life changes to get out of a rut.

In love, a moderate person can fall victim to hesitation and restraint. Their unlikeliness to just jump into love can leave them missing out on beautiful experiences. Sometimes, the best thing one can do for themselves is give in and live a little.

Moderation is a superpower that can positively affect so many aspects of one's life. In the realm of self improvement and happiness, willpower is a scarce and vital resource. It is a life force, and high scorers have a deeper well to draw on in both good and bad times.
