Count coup on yourself. It is a next-level mind hack that can change everything.
It’s a metaphor for humorously shocking yourself into wakefulness by questioning your perception of reality to the nth degree. It’s a way of sneaking up on your fear and certainty and giving them a little smack with your coup stick.

You’re counting coup on that which is rigid and dogmatic in your worldview. When you count coup on fear, certainty, and extremism, you do it so that vitality, courage, and adaptability can emerge. You do it so that you may, as Thoreau advised, “Live deliberately.”
