-The secret is to always stay below the point where it feels like work.
-The best way to break a bad habit is to make it impractical to do.
-When the immediate consequence is favorable, the later consequences are disastrous, and vice versa.
-Incentives can start a habit. Identity sustains a habit.
-Show up and add to the streak.
-The first mistake is never the one that ruins you. It is the spiral of repeated mistakes that follows.
-This is a distinguishing feature between winners and losers. Anyone can have a bad performance, a bad workout, or a bad day at work. But when successful people fail, they rebound quickly. The breaking of a habit doesn't matter if the reclaiming of it is fast.
-You don't realize how valuable it is to just show up on your bad days. Lost days hurt you more than successful days help you.
-Never interrupt it unnecessarily.
-Sluggish days and bad workouts maintain the compound gains you accrued from previous good days. Simply doing something, ten squats, five sprints, a push-up, anything really, is huge. Don't put up a zero. Don't let losses eat into your compounding.
-It's easy to train when you feel good, but it's crucial to show up when you don't feel like it. Going to the gym for five minutes may not improve your performance, but reaffirms your identity.
-When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.
