And now it's one of those things that I had to eliminate Temptations I had to eliminate things that I felt would trigger me and get me back or going on the wrong path and it's really really subtle one of the things that's by Examining what the way you think and how you act in a given situation? I Find that there were times like Friday night is when I felt like that was the time to view pornography. You know, why because I Remember everyone going out on Friday and it feeling real sexy and feeling like whoo and women and this Dancing partying and all that and then I would I would do it. I've said no, I'm not gonna do that I'm a good boy, but I'm gonna stay home and I'm gonna watch porn which was a horrible horrible habit, so Friday night I know when those feelings are coming and when that I get sensitive and I feel like mmm, you know This might be the time to click on something. You know what I mean? And I know it and I head it off at the pass You just make sure that you know where you are and you avoid those? Temptations the same thing with eating if you know you have a problem with donuts Do not go to the donut shop to get your coffee You know, I mean go to a place that doesn't have Donuts or something that you know is your vice that you know you shouldn't do Another thing you can be proactive when I say avoiding temptation if you want to really Consistently make the gym a part of your life set your clothes out for the gym the night before And it will remove the temptation to not go to the gym when you wake up You're all of a sudden you have your clothes there and you just hop in them instead of looking all over the house I can't find my shirt.

That makes a good day versus not a good day is exposure to cold Really? Yeah, like wim HOF style you mean it's not it's not a good day if you're not exposed to cold it's not as good a day really it's not as There's something about that. Not only pushing yourself. I do it early in the morning and you can either do it in the shower But start with a warm shower Start doing the wim hof breathing which starts to hyper oxygenate the body also has a lot of health benefits and then turning that shower nozzle cold and How long? For about three minutes is what you want to do all the way cold and if you have a cold pool or cold baths you Can do that but it's twofold one. It's gonna reduce your chronic stress So norepinephrine goes up adrenaline goes up and it drops your cortisol So it drops the baseline of stress that we all carry all the time But the other thing is it's that moment right before you turn that nozzle where every part of he's like man not to pick up Beer you're like I don't want to do don't want to do that. You turn it over secondly Exactly exactly, even though you know, it's not gonna hurt you even though you know, it's gonna benefit you It's gonna develop cold shock proteins. It's gonna help your immune system, you know people exposed to cold get 43% less respiratory infections, like it's oppositely of the wives tales that we've heard. Like don't go out in the cold You'll you'll get sick like regular and mediated exposure to cold is actually going to help your immune system So even with all the pen it's gonna boost the immune system boost the more you do it Yeah, so you believe when we have the discipline to? Put ourselves through controlled stress for a few minutes It's going to give us extreme benefits the rest of the day No doubt because it's the same thing like when we're thinking about whether we want to work out or not. Right, right We're sitting around like yeah, you know, I really should go out and take that run I really should go out and take that workout. We know we're gonna feel better when we do it We know we're gonna be better. But what is that part of ourselves? That's gonna turn that little bit extra over to the yes column, you know It's something I call mental override and I talked about it in the book It's the ability to use your mind to give you that little extra to push you into. Yes mental override Yeah And it same thing that you would same thing that you would use with you need to start that Project or if you're screwing around on emails and need to actually get to the meat of the problem at work It's that same mental technique that's gonna allow you to kill it But you get to practice that in the morning and you get to have that small win So that the next time you're facing that off I really should start that big project I really should work on this you just have that same attitude like I'm gonna do it Yeah And way number five the last one before a very special bonus clip is make a proper schedule with Jordan B Peterson make a damn schedule and stick to it. Okay. So what's the rule with the schedule? It's not a bloody prison That's the first thing that people do wrong is well, I don't like to have follow a schedule It's like well, what kind of schedule are you setting up? Well, I should I have to do this then I have to do this then I have to do this, you know And then I just go play video games because who wants to do all these things that I have to do. It's like wrong Set the damn schedule up So that you have the day you want. That's the trick. It's like okay I've got tomorrow if I was gonna set it up. So it was the best possible day I could have Practically speaking, what would it look like? well, then you schedule that and obviously there's a bit of responsibility that's gonna go along with that because if you have any sense one Of the things that you're gonna insist upon is that at the end of the day? You're not in worse shape than you were that then at the beginning of the day, right? Because that's a stupid day If you have a bunch of those in a row, you just dig, you know You dig yourself a hole and then you burn yourself and it's like sorry. That's just not a good strategy. It's a bad strategy So maybe 20% of your day has to be responsibility and obligation Or maybe it's more than that depending on how far behind you are. But even that you can you can ask yourself, okay? Well, I've got these Responsibilities I have to schedule the damn things in what's the right ratio of? Responsibility to reward and you can ask yourself that just like you'd negotiate with someone who is working for you It's like okay you go. I work tomorrow Okay, so I want you to work tomorrow and you might say okay. Well, what are you gonna do for me that? Makes it likely that I'll work for you. Well, you could ask yourself that you know, maybe you'd do an hour of Responsibility and then you play a video game for 15 minutes I don't know whatever turns your crank man, but you know You have to negotiate with yourself and not tyrannize yourself Like you're negotiating with someone that you care for that you would like to be productive and have a good life And and that's how you make the schedule It's like and then you look at the day and you think well if I had that day that I'd be good great You know and you you're useless and horrible, so you'll probably only hit it with about 70 percent accuracy But that beats the hell out of zero Right and if you hit it even with 50 percent accuracy another rule is well aim for 51 percent the next week or 50 and a half percent for God's sake or because You're gonna hit that Position where things start to loop back positively and spiral you upward Now I've got a really special bonus clip with Will Smith on how to develop Self-discipline that I think you're gonna really enjoy but before that it's time for the three-point landing question It's time to move from just watching another video to actually taking action in your life or your business And if you're feeling bold leave your replies in the comments below Here we go question Number one what needs to change in your schedule to help you better reach your goals number two.
