3 Steps to Quit Anything
Today I’m going to teach you how to quit.
Say whaaaat?
Yes.
QUIT.
It’s typically pegged as the bad guy but tis not always the case.
Some habits in your life NEED to stop.
(If you aspire to sculpt a chiseled muscular body)
I used to dip in college, nicotine is some powerffulll stuff.
Quit it cold turkey.
Just did a 31 day stint of quitting caffeine (after years of ingesting it daily).
You probably have at least one habit you do on a daily basis that you know in the long term is detrimental to where you’re trying to go in life.
If you’re ready to give it the axe here is my simple 3 step formula.
Yea takes a lil bit of willpower but nowhere near as much as you think.
STEP 1: Decide You’re DONE
You’ve gotta honestly tell yourself you’re done with X.
And mean it.
Not wishy washy “I’ll try and see”.
No.
DONE.
STEP 2: REPLACE
This is where a lot of guys fall off the wayside. Whenever you stop a habit you leave a void or hole… and if you don’t fill it with something else you’re much more likely to fall back into it.
So you gotta pull the ol Indiana Jones SWAP.
Just as he swapped out the gold idol for a bag of sand you need to swap out your bad habit with a new one.
When I quit dip I swapped it out with gum.
For caffeine swapped coffee with decaf tea.
This will help you from slipping back into your previous routine.
STEP 3: REMEMBER
This may be difficult depending on how long this habit has been in your life – but anchor back to when you DIDN’T have this and remember you got along just fine in life. Before you smoked, drank, whatever it is. Take yourself back to those days and allow your mind to see you’ve already lived life without it and survived just fine.
That’s all there is too it.
Now, it’s not easy, but it’s TOTALLY do-able.
Especially when you break it down into little steps like this.
Which is exactly what we do in A Spartan Rises too.
So instead of being overloaded with 1000’s of tips and things to do you’re given small actionable tasks to complete.
Each moving you one step closer towards building a ripped Greek God physique so you’re motivation stays sky-high.
