Getting to know ourselves allows us to build and acceptance of ourselves including all the bits we may not like but know we can change if we wish to. We can then let go of the false self, the one that was built by beliefs and thoughts we adopted and become a stronger self that serves the life we want.
Any successful human society, therefore, must find means to direct, channel, and exploit these potentially destructive energies. Mature make believe explores the strengths and weaknesses, success and failure, of such means, against specific manifestations of the terrific force of subjective emotion.

How to reverse your bad habits and stick to good ones. The science of how your brain processes habits. The common mistakes most people make (and how to avoid them). How to overcome a lack of motivation and willpower. How to develop a stronger identity and believe in yourself. How to make time for new habits (even when your life gets crazy...
It seems to be remarkably easy to fall into unhealthy routines. ★ Eating junk food. ★ Watching TV instead of going to the gym. ★ Showing up to a job you hate everyday. ★ Biting your nails. ★ Smoking. There’s no shortage of unhealthy and unproductive behaviors. And we all struggle with them from time to time. But why? You want to live a heal...
There is a simple 3–step pattern that every habit follows. I call this pattern the “3 R's of Habit Change” and it goes like this... Reminder (the trigger that initiates the behavior) Routine (the behavior itself; the action you take) Reward (the benefit you gain from doing the behavior) This sequence has been proven over and over again by b...
If you talk to your friends about starting a new habit, they might tell you that you need to exercise self–control or that you need to find a new dose of willpower. I disagree. Getting motivated and trying to remember to do a new behavior is the exact wrong way to go about it. If you think about this, it makes sense. Sometimes you feel motivate...
It doesn’t matter if it’s working out or eating healthy or creating art, you can’t expect yourself to magically stick to a new habit without setting up a system that makes it easier to start. And for that reason, picking the correct reminder for your new habit is the first step to making change easier. The reminder that you choose to initiate you...
Make it so easy you can’t say no. —Leo Babauta As I mentioned in the beginning of this guide, it’s incredibly easy to get caught up in the desire to make massive changes in your life. We watch incredible weight loss transformations and think that we need to lose 30 pounds in the next 4 weeks. We see elite athletes on TV and wish that we could run f...
It’s important to celebrate. (I think that’s just as true in life as it is with habits.) When it comes to sticking to better habits, there is an important reason to always reward yourself: we want to continue doing things that make us feel good. And that is why it’s especially important that you reward yourself each time you practice your new ha...
We've covered the science of habit formation. But in the real world, there is often a difference between theory and practice. Whenever I write, I do my best to not merely share ideas backed by science, but also to highlight real-world lessons that make it easier for you to put those ideas into practice. This is especially important when it come...
My girlfriend is great at remembering people’s names. Recently, she told me a story that happened when she was in high school. She went to a large high school and it was the first day of class. Many of the students had never met before that day. The teacher went around the room and asked each person to introduce themselves. At the end, the teache...
Changing your beliefs isn’t nearly as hard as you might think. There are two steps. Decide the type of person you want to be. Prove it to yourself with small wins. Note: I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to start with incredibly small steps. The goal is not to achieve results at first, the goal is to become the type of person who ...
Identity: Become the type of person who never misses a workout. Small win: Do pushups every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
In my experience, when you want to become better at something, proving your identity to yourself is far more important than getting amazing results. This is especially true at first. If you want to get motivated and inspired, then feel free to watch a YouTube video, listen to your favorite song, or try P90X. But don’t be surprised if you burn out...
Identity-based habits offer a framework through which to view your goals. The 3 R's of habit change provide a plan for achieving your new identity. Combining both of these ideas can make change easier for you overall. In other words, identity-based habits keep you focused on the right things: like starting small, building your identity, and not w...
Knowing how to make changes is one thing, but fitting new goals into your life is something else entirely. Making changes is tough. Whenever your schedule gets crazy, the inertia of life can pull you away from your goals and right back into your old habits. How can you overcome this tendency to fall off course and make time for new goals in you...
In my experience, a better way to approach your goals and build good habits is to set a schedule to operate by rather than a deadline to perform by. Instead of giving yourself a deadline to accomplish a particular goal by (and then feeling like a failure if you don’t achieve it), you should choose a goal that is important to you and then set a sc...
Most of the time, I try to be a practitioner of my ideas and not just someone who shares their opinion, so allow me to explain this strategy by using two real examples from my own life.
Do you see how the two examples above are different than most goals we set for ourselves? In both cases (writing and exercise), I made consistent progress towards my goals not by setting a deadline for my performance, but by sticking to a schedule. The focus is on doing the action, not on achieving X goal by a certain date. If you want to be th...
I'm a big proponent of doing one thing at a time. There is a mountain of scientific research showing that multi-tasking and dividing your attention is less productive than staying focused on a single goal. But what if you want to change multiple things in your life? What if you want to get better at more than one thing ... and you want to do it r...
A keystone habit is a behavior or routine that naturally pulls the rest of your life in order. I first heard about this idea in Charles Duhigg’s book, The Power of Habit. When I started looking at my own life, I began to notice a few routines that led to better behaviors elsewhere. For example, a funny thing happens when I lift weights... Whe...
Improving your lifestyle and becoming the type of person who “has their act together” isn’t nearly as hard as you might think. In fact, you might need just one keystone habit before the dominoes start falling everywhere. If you have multiple things that you would like to improve, imagine how much easier it would be for you to do if you discovered ...
Habit formation hinges on your ability to bounce back. There will always be instances when following your regular routine is basically impossible. But small hiccups don’t make you a failure, they make you human. The most successful people in the world slip up on their habits too. What separates them isn’t their ability to avoid mistakes, it’s the...
Change can be hard. In the beginning, your healthy habits might take two steps forward and one step back. Anticipating those backward steps and developing a plan for getting back on track quickly can make all the difference in the world. How to Break a Bad Habit (and
We've covered a lot of information on how to build good habits, but what about breaking bad ones? Bad habits interrupt your life and prevent you from accomplishing your goals. They jeopardize your health — both mentally and physically. And they waste your time and energy. So why do we still do them? And most importantly, is there anything you c...
Most of your bad habits are caused by two things... Stress and boredom. Most of the time, bad habits are simply a way of dealing with stress and boredom. Everything from biting your nails to overspending on a shopping spree to drinking every weekend to wasting time on the internet can be a simple response to stress and boredom. But it doesn’...
Here are some additional ideas for breaking your bad habits and thinking about the process in a new way. Choose a substitute for your bad habit. You need to have a plan ahead of time for how you will respond when you face the stress or boredom that prompts your bad habit. What are you going to do when you get the urge to smoke? (Example: breathin...

Title: Religion as Make-Believe : a theory of belief, imagination, and group identity / Neil Van Leeuwen. Description: Cambridge, Massachusetts ; London, England ; Harvard University Press, 2023. | Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction. Around the middle of the twentieth century, psychologists rediscovered the value of make-believe. Beginning in the 1940s and 1950s, there was a sud-den and considerable outpouring of books that explored the pedagogical and therapeutic significance of imaginative play.

Victim identity directs our motives, purpose, speech, and action by continuing to reestablish who we were before in the past. Where we came from does not determine who we will be in life.
