Seriously.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
There’s nothing quite like intentionally subjecting yourself to frigid waters and saying “No” to the wonderful warmth of a hot shower when it’s only one twist of the handle away requires insane amounts of discipline and grit.

Our lives are way too easy.

If you are seriously wanting to give up a vice (like smoking or drinking), you’ll want to throw away anything that reminds you of it.

But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.

4. Meditate
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
