Day 1 - Change

I'm starting to become quite familiar with Day 1...

How did this happen? How did I fall short yet again? I'm not really sure, but I think it is connected with a draw towards comfort when I feel emotionally depleted. I also have made a mistake in counting on motivation and inspiration as fuel. Jocko Willink said it best, "Don't count on motivation, count on discipline."

I have been counting on being motivated to reach my goals. I need to amp up the discipline. So that said, I am going to do something counter-intuitive. I'm going to turn up the difficulty... not just a bit... I'm going to turn it up to 10. 

No sugar. No alcohol. No wasted time. No compromises. No procrastination.

Yes exercise. Yes healthy eating. Yes study. Yes work. Yes discipline.

Simple. 

Let's go.
