This is an excerpt from a YouTube video by Donald Burns about how to reinvent yourself. Burns emphasizes beginning with self-awareness — identifying habits, routines, and mindsets that hold you back — then creating a concrete plan to change habits and learn new skills.

What habits, routines, what mindsets are keeping me stuck? What do I need to let go of in order to move forward? Now, once you've identified what's holding you back, you need to make a plan. What do you need to change? What new habits do you need to develop? What skills do you need to learn?
