game theory fix for lack of willpower:

eliminate choice entirely.

hernán cortés burned his ships so his troops couldn't retreat.

you don't need more discipline. you need a commitment device, a constraint that makes backing out mathematically impossible.

[Binary Bodhi @binarybodhi]

Your breath is the only autonomic function you can consciously override.
Heart rate = no control.
Digestion = no control.
Breath = full control.

That's your nervous system's back door. Yogis found it first.
Use it.

Aaron Rodgers says he stayed in a completely dark room for over 100 continuous hours, causing him to hallucinate and activated DMT in his brain

“You’re just in a room with a little bathroom, bathtub, and you can’t see shit. Nothing. You can’t see anything. I did five nights, four days. You start hallucinating on the third day because your brain… the DMT starts getting activated”

“Total darkness. No concept for what time it is, especially after the first couple days because you sleep so much the first night. After that, you don’t need to sleep hardly at all because you have no stimulation for your eyes, so you’re not really tired. You’re just kind of laying there or moving around. I did yoga, did long meditation, sat in the bath for a couple hours, it seemed like. Time was irrelevant, but a lot of great contemplation”

“A lot of times you start hallucinating and seeing different shapes and doorways and stuff, and you just run into stuff all the time. It’s quite a process”

“I started each day with a meditation and just said, ‘What do I want to contemplate today.’ I contemplated relationships, family, and then two days, one was, ‘I’m retired,’ and one was, ‘I’m playing.’ I went through all the insecurities around retirement and then all the fears around playing again, and just really spent hours thinking through things”

“Anytime a negative thought would come in, just being curious about it and wondering where that comes from. If there’s a root of that, is there something from childhood that is involved in that fear or insecurity. It was really amazing for me, the healing that happened”

“I came out really feeling comfortable either way. Not scared of retirement, not scared of slipping into irrelevance. I actually welcome that. It was really meaningful. I’m really glad I did that”

It's crazy how most "life problems" are just 2-10 hours of actual work you keep avoiding. that's it

[Augustus @AugustusDelano]

Keep your phone out of the gym, out of your bedroom, off in public, & away from your workspace, and you'll magically have better workouts, better sleep, better interactions, & greater productivity than ever before

Just try it for one week. Guarantee you'll live life much fuller

[Machiavelli Bot @UnmodernmanBot]

The average man is too honest in places where he should be strategic, and too dishonest in places where he should be accountable. He reveals his plans to strangers, but lies to himself about his habits. Power begins when you reverse this. Be private with the world. Be mercilessly honest with yourself.

[Raj Shamani @rajshamani]

Cortisol clears from your bloodstream in about 20 minutes if you sit still and breathe. Most people re-trigger it every few minutes by checking their phone. That's why you feel exhausted from a day where nothing happened. Your body never got to control the stress.

[QC @QiaochuYuan]

spend one single day not looking at a screen. i know this is easier said than done but just for one day do literally anything else. read a physical book. go for a walk in the park. do jumping jacks in your room. stare at the wall. listen to an album from your teenage years

there is a reason you are distracting yourself and if you stop for a day you will find out what it is. for this encounter you must cultivate courage. there is an ocean to cross, there is a dragon to face. we tell stories about heroes for a reason and as silly as it sounds, for you right now, this is that reason. the forces arrayed against you are mighty but help is available should you seek it. good luck and may god be with you

cut out porn

& anything that dulls your focus

buy new basics esp your underwears

keep your haircut consistently sharp

shower daily

sometimes thrice if your day demands it

build a clean wardrobe: a few solid polos, well fitted shirts and good pants

own footwear for different settings

use fragrance daily: at least one reliable everyday scent and if you can, one standout signature cologne

maintain your hygiene: deodorant, oral care twice daily, tongue cleaning before you go to bed

first thing in the morning activate your body with a few push-ups

always use the restroom before stepping out everyday

dress well regardless of the occasion, appearance is a silent proof of capacity

and above all, love god

save this, reflect on it and apply it consistently, you can thank me later

[𝕾𝖎𝖗 𝕮𝖍𝖗𝖎𝖘 @eagleseyeinc]

get a haircut every 2 weeks to stay sharp, wait 5 secs before answering the phone to control the rhythm, always arrive 15 mins early, stay away from free lunches, never talk about people who aren't in the room and when anger rises, wait 10 mins before reacting. these habits may look rigid but they're the hidden discipline of the elite.

I keep on revisiting this. You might not realize the depth of what he said. In urdu poetry, there is a concept where poets view God as a lonely being, so lonely that He created free willed humans for company. Loneliness is a Godly trait & whoever enters its realm meets God there

[Shubhvani @shubhvanii]

You're a man.

Neverrrrrrrrrrrr look desperate.

Suffer in silence,

Stand tall when life beats you down.

It's just your turn. Every great man bleeds before he conquers.

Be a man.

One of the fastest ways to change your life is to increase the speed at which you resolve tension.

Return the call. Send the email. Have the conversation. Resolve faster. Watch your life speed up.

[Electra @Electrarythm]

Decide exactly what it is you want and write it down. Carry it with you, look at it every day, think about it morning and night, and stop thinking about what you fear. Each time a negative thought enters your mind, replace it with the picture of your goal. For thirty days, take complete control of your thinking, because you become what you think about.

Do not concern yourself with how your goal will be achieved, your job is to know where you are going and to keep moving toward it. Remain cheerful, remain persistent, act as though it were impossible to fail, and continue until this way of thinking becomes a habit.

[Silentum 🦁 @xKhalifan]

MAKE THIS COMEBACK PERSONAL

Become arrogant. Redemption arc. Apology to yourself. The feeling of revenge. Everything or nothing. Now or never. Tired of misery. Others will think you’re a psycho. Mediocrity always disgusted you. Desire to be the best. Impossible to lose. All In. People doubt you. You’ll show up completely new. Success is your proof.

Even after the darkest night, the sun will rise with its brightest rays. So should you.

Take full responsibility for your life.

Because in the end - it always works out.

People with low awareness call everything a coincidence

Bro, nothing is coincidence

Nothing

The numbers
The dreams
The animals
The clouds
The timing
The people who pop up out of nowhere
The random words you hear at the exact moment you needed them

That’s not coincidence

That’s the universe speaking

But most people are so blocked they can’t even read the room, never mind read the signs.

Years of fluoride, fake food, fear, screens, programming, noise, and bullshit…

and then they wonder why they can’t feel anything.
Of course everything looks random when your third eye’s been on airplane mode your whole life.

This universe is magical as fuck

You’re just too disconnected to notice

[𝗘𝗟🐕⚒️👁️⃤ @MasterNumber]

You not attacking them is the most spiritually intelligent thing you could do. Every day you stay silent and clean, there karmic debt grows

This is a spiritual trap for them, not for you

You did not cause this. You were placed in it. Now you are being graded on how you handle it

You will likely not witness most of the karma they they will get. That is by design. The universe will not let you see the suffering because that would keep you connected to them

For someone💙
