As a loose example for dieting, that would mean a Jewish person probably wouldn't choose to replace red meat with pork even if it meant getting to their desired weight faster. <b>E</b> for Emotional which you touched on under one of your points. This is where you ensure you have an emotional attachment to the goal. This could be a reward, or a penalty, depending on how you want to enforce your own compliance with your goals!
