How to make quitting your addiction easier
I have found it very useful to frame things in terms of my future self.  This works for both things I want to do, and things I want to stop doing.<p>For example — get home from work, tired, don’t want to go row.  Instead of saying to myself “You really should go row, you said you wanted to do it 4 times a week.” I say “1 hour from now do I want to be a person who has sat on the couch for an hour or do I want to be the person who has worked out, taken a shower, and feels good”. Same thing for stopping mindless doom scrolling or making dinner vs ordering deliver or whatever.<p>I know it’s just a mental trick — but reframing things in terms of my future self has been <i>incredibly</i> powerful for me.
