you know, it's almost like aversion therapy or something, I suppose, if, you know, I'm not a psychologist, but it sort of follows the similar principles.

Expose yourself to the actual impact of your actions.

Because we, like I said, I knew on an intellectual level that something was wrong.

It's just finding ways to make yourself change them.

And, you know, however it is for you, like I particularly connect to

watching like a savings account or something go up.

So if I'm, you know, giving up, you know, for me, it was buying clothes.

I couldn't just stop doing that and let be it.

I needed to see the outcome of that, the good outcome of not doing it and the bad outcome of doing it.

So whatever that looks like for whatever your like vice is, I suppose, connecting to the actual long-term impact on the positive and the negative side.

I'm the same.

And that was really helpful for me as well, because it also helps when you start sort of making excuses for yourself to actually come up against yourself.

Cause you might go, a lot of us have limiting beliefs around money.

We might kind of go, oh yeah, but there's just not enough.

Or it's just giving up.

That won't make any difference to actually say to yourself and pretend that you're someone saying to yourself, yeah, you're right.

It won't, you know, you can give that up, but it won't make any difference.

we're naturally very defiant to things like that.

So one minute we're going, nothing will change.

It won't make any difference.
