You only need like a teaspoon of it at the very beginning to get this habit started.
So start micro habits first and then bigger habits.
So the discipline is not something that you should be seeing if you're seeing someone eat healthy and go to the gym, do all the stuff you want to do.
Those are habits.
And that person, you're not seeing a discipline at work right there.
You're seeing a habit.
The discipline was just at the beginning.
And I think if more people knew that,
that you're just exercising a little discipline at the very beginning, and then it's just, that's just what you do.
It's like somebody who sees someone brushing their teeth every day, like, wow, that's so much discipline.
If the why is I need enjoyment in the present moment, then no other why will be bigger.
No discipline why will ever be larger.
The only why will be why am I eating these Cheetos right now?
Because that's the only why.
