So I think once the why starts edging its way into the future, that's the moment where you break the discipline spiral and you get out of that because your whys are extending into time that hasn't happened yet. Does that equation stack up for you, saying this?

Yeah.
Yeah.
I would say it would be divided by the cost of inaction. The cost of inaction would either... add to it but it's always going to be your perception of the why your perception of the cost and your perception of the cost of an action and all of that is going to be about can I use can I leverage my focus the mammalian brain's focus to

Can I leverage authority over myself in some way, over that mammalian part of my brain, force myself out of bed, force these habits to start developing? And then tribe. Are my friends involved? Have I made a public agreement about something? And then the emotion, which I think would be the why. And that's the emotional driver. That animal can understand that.

you visualizing yourself better, like looking with a six pack or whatever it is, but printing it on a vision board. This is why I think vision boards are so important. Not because we're manifesting something out of the universe. Maybe it is, but we're definitely showing something that a dog can understand. It's imagery and dog, dog can understand images.

So we're routinely exposing ourselves to these vision boards on a very regular basis. And if you follow the brainwashing formula, which is focus, emotion, agitation, and repetition, it spells fear. And that is the best way to brainwash yourself to form these new habits and goals. So how can I get myself to focus? How can I build the emotion, which is the why?

recurring emotion, not just one at the very beginning. How can I continue to make it emotional? Or maybe I can make the cost of inaction emotional. Maybe I can buy the app that makes me look fat or one of those things.

And then agitation is if I'm waking up habituation, which you just talked about, if I'm waking up in the same house every day that I've been fat in, let's say I wanted to lose weight or whatever, the same house every day that I've lived X way in, I'm seeing the same hallway, same rug, same couch, everything looks the same. My brain says, oh, I'm here. I'm going to follow that script.

So I have clients that repaint their house, they rearrange their furniture, they change up their wardrobe a whole lot, they get a completely new haircut so they're not even looking at the same person in the mirror anymore. They do everything you can to disrupt that rhythm. It's exactly what we would do with a detainee if we were trying to brainwash someone who is in an intelligence interrogation.
