Reading puts your brain to work.
Reading is to the mind what exercise is to your body.
It gives us freedom to roam the expanse of space, time, history, and offer a deeper view of ideas, concepts, emotions, and body of knowledge.

If a person is interested in you romantically, they will MAKE TIME to reply to your texts (as if that’s so hard to do). If they can’t meet you on a certain day for a date, they will tell you the soonest possible alternative date and confirm it with you. They will call you back that day if they miss your call.
Don’t tell anyone your goals
I’ve noticed that whenever I talk to someone about my intentions, plans or goals it makes me less likely to follow through with them. This is because talking about positive intentions gives me a small endorphin rush similar to what you would feel if you actually completed the intention.
If you want to make working out a habit, have minimum days.
If you’re like me, you go through phases where you want to get back into shape and try really hard at it, only to lose motivation after a few weeks or months. The only time it stuck was when I planned out what would be my “minimum day”. A minimum day is just the bare minimum of what you have to do to stay on track, but is much faster and isn’t too daunting.
I struggled waking up on-time my whole life. I was always envious of early-bird personalities but as hard as I tried I never was able to be one. If my alarm is by my bed (whether it is my phone or a traditional alarm) I will almost certainly hit snooze and sleep in even on important days. The best I was ever able to accomplish was setting multiple alarms on the other side of the room, but even then it was a 50/50 chance that I would actually get up. If I had an important test or appointment I had to get up for I would have to psych myself up the night before, set multiple alarms, and drink a bunch of water to ensure I would get up on time.

1. “The wealthy are just lucky.”
So they keep waiting to get lucky. And somehow never do. Sure the wealthy got some lucky breaks. But they also learned to recognize them and what to do when they popped up. Because lucky breaks, like the morning dew, evaporate fast.

I know the other reason you avoid meeting women is because you’re scared of bothering them. You’re ashamed that you’re going to upset them or creep them out by saying hello.
This makes you feel like approaching women is somehow fundamentally “wrong”.
That’s bullshit, though. That assumes all women are going to have a miserable time talking to you.

Would Your Ideal Self Act This Way?
I have found that when I want to do something I shouldn’t do I think “Do I want to be the kind of person who does this?” or if there is something that I should do but am not doing I think “Do I want to be the kind of person that doesn’t do this?” Which reminds me of the gap between who I am and who I want to be and helps me move towards who I want to be.

You don’t even have to do the thing; Just show up
… And then you can totally go home.
This hit me in a huge way just recently!
Suppose it’s going for a run every day, or practicing piano, or working on some new project. If you can just show up for your commitment and do that every day for a week, that’s a win.
