Distinguish Your Various Selves
- Labelling ourselves into definitive personality types (like an introvert or not being a people’s person) limits our minds and robs us of our space to evolve and change over time.

These stories become our identity and certain core memories, or life events of immense sorrow or happiness, stick with us forever.

Remind Yourself to Think About Your Future Self

- Create reminders to make your subconscious think about your future self.
- Plan your days and set those days towards achieving something you've always wanted.
