The truth about TIME.

The problem with emotions is that they do not accurately portray time - they just portray the experience of the moment.

To make matters worse, the more intense a feeling in the moment, the more it tends to drown out rational thought - making that momentary sensation hold more weight than it ought to.

But with a little flex of willpower you should be able to squeeze in a at least a little rational self-talk...

And here's what you're going to want to focus on:

How SHORT-TERM the pain of discipline is.

So if you're wrestling with yourself to go to the gym, how long do you think you'll feel resistance once you push through and commit to going?

You'll probably feel good once you start getting your gym shoes on.

If you've got a porn craving, how long do you think you'll feel uncomfortable before you calm down and move on with your day?

You'll be fine in five to ten minutes max.

Significant habit changes like quitting porn entirely, getting in shape aren't months of discomfort, they are just about dealing with a few momentary spikes of discomfort a few times a week.

Big accomplishments like building a new business or career can usually be bought through a few moments of discomfort getting started each day that grant you access to the the productive flow states you need to make progress..

The simple reality is that the distance between a bump of discomfort and a useful state of flow is astoundingly minute if you just flex the willpower and face it...

Short term pain leads to long-term gain.

Just don't forget HOW SHORT this often is!
