How to Apply This
-
Overcome your loss aversion.
Instead of focusing on what you are losing, consider the benefits the change will bring. -

Adopt a mindset that you can fix almost every mistake. If you make a mistake, learn from it and use it to make better choices in the future. -
Expose yourself to healthy thoughts and behaviors.
Repeat the behaviors or thoughts that increase your self-discipline and help you develop better habits. -
Make decisions rationally instead of relying on emotions.
