For the typical HN person who might valorize evidence-based living, the starting point is probably learning to: 1. Recognize where you've adopted a belief from little direct evidence, 2. Pay attention to what impact these (inevitably) many beliefs have on your life 3. Stop reinforcing and repeating those that are only there as invisible walls to justify negative or limiting self-image Even between "dopamine" and "motivation", one belief blames an imagined phyiology that might only be remedied through some therapeutic medicine/practice that may not even exist; the other blames a weak will that you might find some satisfaction (or pleasure) in challenging now and then. Are either strongly evidenced in one's individual case? No, but if you have to believe one of them, it may as well be the one that lets you wake up some morning and see if you might accomplish something surprising.
