    Are You Looking for a FOOLPROOF Way to Quit Your Bad Habits & Develop Yourself? Try These 3 Steps to Improve Your Self-Discipline!

    No one can tell you how to live your life!
    This is a big reason why we fail to quit our bad habits using SOMEONE ELSE'S advice.
    But of course, you'd still like help with a plan of action, right?
    Wouldn't it be great if someone could give us a personalized method for curing our anxiety or stopping unhealthy habits like smoking, pornography use or procrastination?
    This is exactly what this podcast can do for you.
    I cannot judge you and I can't instruct you on how to live your life.
    Instead I want to share with you a process that you can use FOR YOURSELF to create solutions for yourself.
    Need a remedy for anxiety? Want to quit smoking pot? Need to stop using TikTok for awhile?
    You can do these things and together we can develop a plan to make this happen.
    In this episode, I will explain how Acceptance of your habits, Self-expression, and Reflection are the 3 steps you can begin TODAY to start to see a way forward for yourself.
    In just 10 minutes, I will load you up with:
    Why you must Accept your bad habits FIRST,
    How to Express yourself,
    And how you can Reflect on your life to actually improve your self-control!
    So, join me for a quick 10 minutes, and let's get you going on a personalized plan to see yourself in a new light! Listen now!
    (0:00) - Intro and what to expect PLUS why this podcast is DIFFERENT
    (02:50) - Why you must first accept yourself as you are before taking action
    (04:10) - EXACTLY HOW to take control of YOUR LIFE with self-expression
    (06:02) - How can self-reflection be a remedy for anxiety!?
    (08:20) - A difficult question many of us must ask our self.

    This is the BREAKTHROUGH That Finally Helped Me Quit My BAD HABITS: Master This and You Will Too!

    This is the BREAKTHROUGH That Finally Helped Me Quit My BAD HABITS: Master This and You Will Too!

    For years, I was in the grip of both a pornography and marijuana addiction. Many, many days of my youth wasted.
    Toxic habits like these lower our energy, put us in a bad mood, ruin our self-confidence, and WORST OF ALL, they blind us to who we truly are! They rob us of our potential.
    Looking back on how I quit these 10 and 15-year-long addictions, I have developed a clear process that I want to share with you. You can apply this process to nearly any toxic habit or vice.
    And you have already begun the first step. So let's keep going.
    Join me now, and in less than 15 minutes, I will tell you about the SHIFT in my thinking that helped me finally quit those shameful, stinky behaviours and feel proud of who I was. This is a shift you can begin TODAY.
    Listen now!
    And make sure to subscribe, because our next few episodes are going to go deep on the third step of this process.
    You won't want to miss out on this chance to EXPLODE your self-development and surprise your friends and family this summer.
    (0:00) Intro and what to expect - why am I qualified to help you?
    (02:06) Step 1 - What was really preventing me from quitting?
    (06:24) Step 2 - How can you master your time and focus on the present?
    (09:00) Step 3 - The ACTION we must take to end toxic habits for good
