He's like, no, no, no.

My brain would know when I get to go, when I go work out, I get to eat a little bit of this candy bar, which means...

I get rewarded for this action.

Like maybe you get to listen to your favorite playlist while you're training.

You know, some sort of visible streak chart and a small reward after the rep every time.

And there's lots of studies to support this.

Like behaviors become easier to repeat when they're obvious, when they're attractive, when they're easy to start and satisfying to complete.

So this behavioral scientist, James Clear, if you guys haven't heard of James Clear, he actually talks about these as the four laws that govern how habits form.

And they correspond to the brain's own feedback loop, which is basically cue, craving, response, reward.

This is just some neuroscience, baby.

And now we're going to use it for ourselves.

R is for repeat until your identity catches up.

So this is one of the deepest parts.

You don't become disciplined by deciding.

You're going to do it by just collecting the evidence every day, bringing the proof, stack the proof.

So can you do it even when you're tired?

Can you do it when your feelings say no?

Exactly the moment that you don't want to do it, can you do it?

And eventually that behavior stops feeling like effort and starts feeling like self-respect.

The last thing I want to talk to you about is shame.
