    1. Getting a dog forced me to be more disciplined (a happy biproduct)
    2. Doing favors for my future self has helped me build discipline without hating myself
    3. My "high discipline" turned out to be nothing but high levels of toxic anxiety. How am I supposed to get back on track after burning out?
