Summary
The other night, I was sitting on the couch around 8pm and all I could think about was that I wanted some chocolate.
I was actively talking myself into it, making a case for it, justifying it (successfully) and planning what I would get & where I would get it.
Suddenly, I realized that just like I could talk myself into wanting chocolate, I could talk myself into not wanting it.
I didn't have to rely on self-discipline or willpower, but I could simply make a case for why I didn't want it.
In today's episode I'll show you exactly how I did that and how you can use this approach - willpower & self-discipline not required!
