Discipline Momentum.

Great fucking question.

I read on here a while back that all the bad ass lifters work out in the morning. I sucked at getting up early. So I worked at just getting up. Like standing straight up at 4:45 a.m.

Much like a bench press, using proper form, I lay on my back, stretch my spine and pinch my shoulder blades together then just get up. Get my clothes on and stumble downstairs to my personal gym.

Like a proper squat or bench press or whatever, I focus on the small details to get correct form. That way, I don't focus on it being 4:45.

And over a month, it's pretty obvious that the rest of the day is almost always more productive if I start it productively. Upward spiral rather than downward.

I recieved some advice from a very positive and productive man i met at a bar yesterday night and he told me about his mentality.

He looks at life in the present. The past doesnt matter and the future has only as much worth as you give it.

He also mentioned that he lived his life in a limited time frame: in the present time ( literally by the minute) and he'd only allow himself to focus on how he could make next few minutes the most productive possible.

He constantly referenced not letting anything force you to take a step back and he emphasized multiple times that taking steps forward everyday (making new goals daily) was key to his success.

Adopt his mentality or something similar.
