Do the opposite of what you’d typically do
“Try to be less like yourself”. It’s an odd phrase but one that brings to mind a classic episode of Seinfeld where George Costanza has an epiphany that doing things instinctually has only led to failure but finds success in doing the exact opposite of what he’d typically do.
