Chapters

Foreign definition of a habit is the impulse to do a behavior with little or no conscious thought. So you tell me, if I want to create an exercise habit, how do I exercise in a way that I get stronger with little or no conscious thought? So people have mixed up what it means to have a habit. Before behavior can become a habit, it has to be a routine. So what I want people to realize is that if they want to create these routines, if they want to create eventual habits, what you have to do is to learn how to deal with discomfort.
