All protocols

Recognize when excessive social media contributes to inability to think straight and reduce it as part of resetting.

Create mental space when overloaded; mentioned alongside mindfulness, breathwork, and sitting quietly.

If a child is overly excited and can't stop talking, give them about a minute to express it, then return to the planned activity.

Use physiology-supporting practices rather than fighting bodily states; includes taking care of sleep, exercise, and sunlight.

Recommended for all children, analogous to physical education, so they can regulate better than prior generations.

Recognize when recovery or life balance calls for skipping a workout; use reflection to distinguish legitimate need for rest from avoidance or laziness.

Track physical progress objectively by taking front, side, and back photos every month; he did this religiously for four years.

Helpful medications for OCD alongside SSRIs.

To improve self-control around tempting items, reduce visual contact by physically covering the item or closing your eyes instead of staring at it.

In training paradigms, pull a joystick back away from foods you should avoid to create psychological distance, and move it forward toward foods you should eat, such as broccoli, to reinforce approach behavior.

Use aversive imagery to reduce desire for tempting foods; example given was imagining a cockroach crawling across cake.

When resisting temptation, focus on immediate downsides of indulging rather than only long-term outcomes; example: think about the sugar crash you would experience after eating cake.

When initiation is the hardest part, use a tiny first step such as simply putting on workout clothes to get started.

For the last rep or final minute of a hard effort, grit your teeth and push through using willpower.

Use gains- and advancement-oriented motivation for offense-like tasks, and safety-, security-, and loss-prevention-oriented motivation for defense-like tasks.

Maintain an unbroken streak or repeated pattern because the pattern itself can become motivating above and beyond the original goal.

Use designated time windows for social media rather than unrestricted access.

Pair exercise with something enjoyable to improve adherence over time; example given was listening to your favorite music while on the treadmill.

Writing thoughts can support emotion regulation and motivation by externalizing them and creating distance.

Music that evokes nostalgia may help create self-continuity and reconnect you to who you were and who you've become.

Build in breaks rather than staying relentlessly goal-directed all the time.

Lie on your side and do a leg raise down and back while holding pressure on the glute medius pressure point to relieve spasm/discomfort and restore normal motion.

Continue to train around aches, pains, and injuries rather than stopping entirely; stopping accelerates decline. If free-weight pressing hurts, use a machine press; if you cannot press at all, use rowing as an alternative to keep the joint moving and trained.

Stand on the leg furthest from the wall, let the hips drop, then slide yourself back toward the wall to level the pelvis; targets glute medius.

Can be done anywhere, including on a bed in the morning with torso supported and legs hanging off. Raise heels/legs to near parallel, hold briefly at the top, and consciously squeeze the glutes so the glutes—not low-back arching—do the work.
