“I don’t” Vs “I can’t”

There is psychological empowerment that comes with saying, “I don’t,” rather than, “I can’t.”

The results of a study demonstrate the influence that self-description and self-image have on our behaviour—we think; therefore, we will be.

The way we think of ourselves can have a profound impact on how we deal with distractions and unintended behaviours.

To leverage the power of identity to fight distraction, we can make an “identity pact,” which is a precommitment to a self-image that helps us pursue what we really want.
