Fight fire with a vacuum.

Productive day, finally got some lights for my bike, so now I can have some night time adventures!

After rearranging my schedule the other day, the biggest difference I've noticed was actually in my mood, and not having to think about and stress about getting back on track has helped a lot.
I awoke ready for the day and I think I half seized it, I know I could have done more but without actually planning what I'm doing each hour means sometimes I jut get sidetracked and distracted.

Ok back to life, From what I've been looking into there are many forms and way to reprogram the way we think, so that we can alter aspects of ourselves that we want to change.
Something I found out, or learned should I say, is that this cant work for everyone unless they meet a very specific aspect to the reprogramming.
You will need personal leverage, what does that mean? well it means you will need to KNOW you want to change and not just know but also start associating not the pain of doing it, but the pain of NOT doing it, and the pleasure of doing it.
So for example, you might smoke for example this can however, be applied to anything.

You think oh if I quit, I could put weight on and I'll have cravings and have to avoid social situations where I can smoke or whatever.
Now if you associate stopping with: oh if I stop smoking, my breath won't smell, I'll have a higher lung capacity and will feel fit, I won't have nearly as high a risk from cancer and I can lead a normal life where I'm not a slave to smoking and will even save a lot of money that I would have spent buying them.
Thats associating pleasure to the quitting and pain to not quitting.

Always ask yourself, what is the outcome of not taking action, always remind yourself the positives of taking action and get excited about the process, feel like your heading towards a better lifestyle and through this association you will become stronger.
The next step is to break any chains of thought that might cause problems, for example, think of something you really dislike for some vomiting is a horrific experience, so teach yourself that every time you think about smoking you feel like vomiting or eat or do something that causes you to vomit.
Your brain will start to associate the two together and as a protection mechanism it will, after repartition start to make you think and feel that way.

Learning how to stop your patten, take yourself off guard and start to associate really bad things with the things you don't want to do, and vies versa, related things that give you a blissful experience, so that you feel that when your making the right decisions you feel pleasure.
