Internal Locus of Control Key
- Internal locus of control means taking responsibility for your life's outcomes instead of blaming external factors.
- Internal self-esteem means your self-worth comes from within, not from social validation, positive or negative.
Manage Your Dopamine Sources
- Map where your dopamine comes from by listing activities and rating their point value on a 100-point scale.
- Then, redistribute dopamine from unhealthy to healthier sources gradually by borrowing points between them.
Prioritize Future Self
- Prioritize the needs of your future self over your present self through small, repetitive actions like prepping the night before.
- Rate yourself daily to raise awareness and strengthen discipline toward future rewards.
