Personality Is Partly Chosen

  • Personality is partly heritable and shaped by environment, but a meaningful portion is shaped by your choices.
  • How you act can determine how genetic and environmental influences are expressed in your life.
ADVICE

Return To Childhood Joys

  • Revisit an activity you loved as a child and schedule it into your routine like any other task.
  • Treat nostalgic music or small replayable rituals as cues to reactivate that younger, curious mindset.
ADVICE

Meet A Daily Soul Need

  • Fulfill at least one core 'soul need' each day (e.g., curiosity, playfulness, kinship, laughter, deep enjoyment).
